| Nov 4, 2012 at 22:19 | comment | added | DA01 | I've never heard of a click-lock flooring product that was solid finish surface wood through and through. It may very well exist, but I've never seen it, and I don't see anything on that site that explicitly states that. AFAIK, nearly all click-lock flooring is engineered with a finish surface laminated to a backing substrate (that forms the tongue and groove) | |
| Nov 4, 2012 at 20:43 | comment | added | natemartinsf | Thanks! However, this is a solid bamboo, not engineered. For example, lumberliquidators.com/ll/c/… Does the downside about refinishing still apply? This is 1/2" thick, so would the fact that it is floating instead of nailed still feel different? | |
