Soft maple for flooring???
I'm planning on installing hardwood flooring in our living & dining rooms
this spring. I looked at a few of the laments, but, not too thrilled with what you get for the money, with the exception on "ease of installation". I found some 1/2" soft maple for $2.20 a sq.ft. (surfaced 2 sides) Would this be a sensible choice? I'd think 1/2" would be thick enough, I've seen hw flooring as thin as 3/8" I've also heard it stains well, any comments? Figured I might be able to do more of the finish work myself and spend the savings on tools to do the job... ThankX Ron |
