Comment:
We began installing this floor ourselves about 5 years ago. Not the easiest to install so have patience if you're a do-it-yourself person. Well worth it. It is in all rooms of our home except the bathrooms. Beautiful floor, quiet and has worn well with family and 2 dogs and the swimming pool traffic.

Used for dining room, kitchen, entryway, laundry room. So far, has held up well. Was relatively easy to install. Tricky at the corners, edges and ends. Time will tel about how well it will work in the kitchen. Quiet and sturdy. Nice pattern. I used the Slate pattern.
