Unfinished Hardwood

You can’t customize a carpet, but you CAN put a personal touch on unfinished hardwood! If you want more of a do-it-yourself custom look, unfinished flooring is the beauty of hardwood—untouched! Simply apply your own finish or stain. This enables you to get the exact hardwood look you want. It takes a lot of hard work, but we think it’s worth it.

See all the different looks our customers have created with a blank slate:

 Clover Lea New England White Pine

This customer listed attractive finish, beautiful color, durable, easy to clean, and easy to install as pros. What do you think?

“Used this for our ceiling after applying a white oil stain”

 

“If you want rustic, this is the product for you. Yes is does scratch easy, and the milling is not the greatest, but that just adds to the beautiful characteristics. I laid the floor myself and just finished the first coat of polyurethane. It looks awesome. My wife laughed at me when I brought it home thinking this was going to be an epic fail (she's mean). Now all she can do is talk about it to her friends and now I have 4 new flooring projects from them. So to sum it all up great floor and great price. Looks like I will be buying more very soon.”

 

“We chose this pine because we wanted the rustic look with lots of grain and knots. We love it! We also love the wide planks. This is a soft wood, so it it dings easily, but that adds to the rustic look so we don't mind. We knew that going in. We had someone install it for us so I can't say how easy or hard it was, all we know is it looks great! Not recommended for stair treads - our installer used a hard wood oak of some kind that was a close match to the pine for the stairs - you can't tell the difference.”
 

 

R.L. Colston Red Oak Select

“My husband and I decided to tear out the white carpet in our dining room and replace it with hardwood, so I went to our local store with pictures in hand to try to match the existing hardwood in our house which flanks the dining room on 2 sides. The employees were helpful in determining what type of hardwood I needed and suggested select grade. So I purchased what we needed and began our project. After tearing out the carpet, and renting an air nailer, I began the border, which took me nearly all day to lay. (We had never installed hardwood before, so there was a slight learning curve). We then began to lay the main flooring, which began to feel like we weren't making any headway because the boards are only 2 1/4 inches wide. Finally after 2 half days of laying floor, we were finished and very proud of our work. There were only a few bowed boards in the 7 bundles that we purchased so we had very little waste. We also noticed that when we began to sand the floor, there were not may rough spots or raised edges. Finally we stained the border dark and the main floor golden oak to try to match the existing floor. We only used one coat of stain with no conditioner and the floor is spectacular! My only regret is not noticing, when I was installing the floor, which boards were going to be darker when stained. We don't have many dark boards on the existing floor. (I'll chalk that up to inexperience.) Even with that I still walk by it each morning and am amazed at how beautiful it turned out! Thanks so much!”

 

R.L. Colston Red Oak

 “Good product with little waste due to milling defects. Easy to install. Lumber Liquidators staff was very friendly and helpful and the pricing was considerably less than elsewhere. I wouldn't buy flooring from anyone else.” 

 

R.L. Colston Maple

“Do some research though on staining maple. Although the boards have light grain and uniform in color, maple will mottle and show flames. We like the color variations, but just be aware of this. Also it is difficult to get the exact color you want. You will be somewhat though dependent on what the maple will give you - so it is important to do sample testing of colors on the boards to see what it will look like. Custom color staining may be best left to do by a professional. Our color is Early American with some red and clear added.”

 

R.L. Colston Brazilian Walnut 

“I used the 5" and 3" unfinished Brazilian walnut as an accent around 2" and 3" hickory. This wood is very hard and durable. Once urethane was applied the deep chocolate color came out.”

 

R.L. Colston Select White Oak

“The floor looks great. It was easy to install. We chose the unfinished wood to try and match our existing hardwood as closely as possible. The result is a great looking floor.”

 

R.L. Colston Utility Oak

 

“…I did the finishing myself and it turned out beautifully. I sanded it myself with a hand sander, stained it with Minwax (Cherry) and finished it off with two coats of poly. Its a one of a kind floor that can't be matched and I plan to do several more room in the house. I used timber mate putty to fill the open knots then colored them in with the furniture touch-up markers that came in three different tones so now you do not even know there was ever any open knots.”

“…I used a tung oil finish, so scratches come out easily with a little tung oil and steel wool. There was quite a bit of waste, so you will need to add 20% to 30% to your order. Also, work out of several bundles at a time to avoid having different sizes dominating sections of the floor.”

This customer found Mount Craig Cherry Resilient Vinyl easy to install! Get it for $0.79/sqft starting this Thursday, 2/7 until 2/19!

“I have previously installed click-and-lock laminate flooring. I chose these adhesive vinyl planks for application in a basement because of the possible water exposure. Installation is very easy, once the floor was prepped (removing dirt, burrs, anything that would be incompatible with adhesive). Just peel away the backing and push into place. The nice thing about this flooring versus click-laminate is that you can easily cut the plank with a razor and test-fit into place before exposing the adhesive. Once installed the planks have a nice, wood floor appearance. The only cons (not really the fault of the planks) are that sometimes the edges can come up slightly, but that's more due to an uneven floor or bad prep. Even if the edge does come up, one can just reclean and reapply extra glue. Also, sometimes the wax paper backing would tear prematurely, which meant me having to use a razor to remove the left over backing.”

Super Bowl Savvy

The countdown to Super Bowl XLVII has begun! Only two more days until football, food and fun. As you prepare for the big game, here are some things to keep in mind to protect your floors if you’ll be hosting your friends and family.

 

Use floor mats at each entrance and in front of couches to trap dirt and moisture.

Clear out a closet or space near your front door so guests can hang coats or remove shoes. If the weather is wet, this will also help keep your floors safe!

Make sure there are floor protectors under furniture to prevent scratches.

Invest in some floor cushions if you don’t have enough seating. It’s a comfy alternative to bringing in extra folding chairs that can scratch your floor! (Apartment Therapy)

Have plenty of koozies and coasters in case drinks with condensation get set on the floor.

Use a damp cloth to blot spills as soon as they happen.

Get plenty of napkins and towelettes, and try some of these tasty looking not-so-messy snacks we found on Pinterest! They look delicious, plus smaller snacks will keep food off your floor!

Egg-shaped muffin tins create football pumpkin whoopie pies!

Make your own 7-layer dip in individual serving cups! (Less mess)

Fried Bocconcini (aka cheeseballs). Bite-sized is better!

Mini pretzels in 30 minutes!

“My wife and I looked at wood flooring for over six months and continued to return to the Lee's Summit Missouri store and look at this product. Had it installed last month and could not be happier with the floor. We love the choice we made. Jake and crew at the Lee's Summit store were great to work with. We did have the floor professionally installed. The contractor said it was about the best product he had ever worked with. We installed 950 sq ft in our living room, dining room, kitchen, hallway and master bedroom. Thank you Lumber Liquidators for making our house become the home we always dreamed about.”

“This floor is awesome, easy to install and looks unbelievable!! I had barely any waste due to the great selection of different lengths provided”

“Installed on our staircase, loft and master bedroom. We have two cats and a large dog and after a year it shows no signs of wear. Very durable considering the large paws on our dog (nails). The variation in the lights and darks is better than we had expected it to be. Definitely would recommend this product. We had Lumber Liquidators do the installation, they were fast, clean and efficient. Fantastic.”

“Love this flooring. Put it in main room, hallway, and 2 bedrooms covering about 1500 square feet. Have a 4 year old and a 100 lb yellow lab. We expected scratches but are amazed that due to the variation in color, the scratches are very difficult to see. Cleaning is so simple. Had white tile prior to this flooring and it never looked clean. I can go a long time without cleaning and this floor still looks beautiful.”

15 Ways to Use Your Old Carpet

You finally ditched your dirty carpet for new hardwood floors. Problem is, now you have a bunch of old carpet! You could just throw it away, but not only does bulky carpet take up a lot of space in a landfill…it could be there for 20,000 years! (Mannington Commercial)

It may have overstayed its welcome as flooring, but that’s no reason to toss your carpet in the dumpster! That’s why we’ve compiled a list of crafty ways to use your old carpet so it doesn’t spend the next 2,000 decades surrounded by trash (although that may be where yours belongs).

 1. Use strips as mats at every door. You want to protect your new hardwood, so to avoid tracking in dirt and mud, wipe your feet every time you enter the house!

 2. You know how quickly that spill absorbed? “…old carpets make great oil and grime catchers for cars and gardening equipment that may have a nasty habit of dripping oil onto your garage floor. The drip may seem like a small problem but it can cause a lot of damage by permanently staining your garage floor.” (Oxi Fresh) 

 3. Protect your car doors from dings and scratches by attaching a strip of carpet to the wall of your garage (This Old House)

 4. Your pets loved to use it before you ripped it up, so why not line a dog house to keep it warm and cozy, or make a scratching post for your cat! (This Old House)

 5. To clean window screens, “Dip a clean piece of carpet into warm, sudsy water, and rub the pile side onto screens to get rid of gunk, dust, and buildup.” (This Old House)

 6. While you’re painting or patching, wipe your brushes, scrapers and putty knives on carpet scrapes to keep tools clean and efficient! (This Old House)

 7. Place a strip of carpet between your washer and dryer. When you drop a sock, you can simply pull the piece out and the sock will come with it! (Reader's Digest)

 8. If you keep live plants indoors, place a small piece of carpet underneath the pots to absorb overflowing water (Reader's Digest)

 9. When gardening, cushion your knees by rolling up a scrap of carpet and kneeling on it when spreading mulch, planting flowers, or weeding. (This Old House)

 10. Keep pieces of carpet for exercise! Make your own yoga mat or exercise pad for stretching or working out at home. (Ezine)

11. Cover the floor of your attic or crawl space for insulation. (Ezine)

12. For the holidays, one Pinner uses cut up carpet and glitter to make Santa foot prints her daughters love! What other fun projects could you do? (Pinterest)

 13. Cut a piece to fit the bottom rung of your ladder and secure it well. You can wipe your shoes before climbing to reduce the risk of slipping! (Yahoo)

 14. Convert carpet squares into coasters. (Pinterest)

15. Finally, if it really is that bad, (we’ve read your Carpet Catastrophes so it’s understandable…) RECYCLE IT!

The Hard Facts About Hardwood

Whether you’re shopping online or walking around a Lumber Liquidators store, there are so many types of hardwood it’s easy to get confused. Solid, Natural, Engineered, Rustic…what does it all mean? You can learn a lot about a product by looking at its name.

One BIG factor to consider is...

GRADE 

The names of our hardwoods will include terms like Select, Natural, Cabin or Rustic. These terms are grades, which provide general characteristics to expect from the product you choose, including appearance, length and size of the boards and knots. Each wood species is different and characteristics will vary, but determining the types of things you want in your floor will be a good place to start. What do these terms imply?

Select Grade
 (Also known as First Grade or Clear)

Select grade flooring contains natural characteristics such as small knots and minor color variations. Specific characteristics vary, but typically you will see slight imperfections in milling, slight variations in face-work (which can be removed by sanding), small pin holes, burls, and slightly open checks.

On average, plank length is longer and color is more uniform compared to Natural. 

If you purchase pre-finished flooring, the finish will be practically free of most defects like debris, skips, streaks, chipping or scratches.

 
This is Bellawood Select Brazilian Chestnut!

Natural Grade
 (Also known as First or Second Grade, Millrun, or #1 common)

Natural grade flooring contains distinct variations in coloration and varying wood characters. Typically, you will see minor imperfections in milling, imperfections in face-work (which you can’t wholly remove by sanding), slight variations in angle of end matching, varying wood characteristics like spots, streaks, slightly open checks, pin/worm holes, small splits or broken knots. 

On average, plank length is slightly longer than Rustic.

If you purchase pre-finished flooring, the finish will be free of most imperfections; however Natural grade products may contain a limit amount of minor blemishes such as grainy surface, bubbles, streaks or dents. 

That's Bellawood Natural Hickory! 

Rustic Grade
(Also known as Third Grade, or #2 common)

Rustic grade flooring may contain all natural variations in coloration and characteristics. Boards with characteristics like rotten ends, advanced rot and severe milling imperfections are typically removed, but knot holes and open characters which can be filled are admitted.

Average plank length is slightly shorter than Natural grade.

The finish on pre-finished Rustic floors may have a limited amount of finishing imperfections such as moderate grainy surface, streaks, dents or peel.

What do you think of Bellawood Rustic Red Oak?

Cabin Grade

Cabin grade products will include variable amounts of milling, grading and/or finishing defects, but these imperfections should still provide a serviceable floor. Cabin, tavern, or utility grade hardwood can provide a low-cost option.

Remember:

Select has the most uniform color with no knots and the longest average length of planks.

Natural has some color variation, mineral coloring and small pin knots.

Rustic has larger tight knots and the most color variation.

 

What else should you consider?

Solid vs. Engineered

Solid hardwood is milled from one thick piece of wood and can be pre-finished or unfinished for you to apply your own stain. It can be sanded and refinished several times. With environmental changes, solid hardwood contracts and expands more than engineered wood. 

Engineered hardwood is made of REAL hardwood veneers, backed by a plywood or fiberboard which increases stability. Most of our engineered flooring is made in Random Length format to avoid a repetitive appearance. It can also be more cost effective because the planks can come from every tree.

 

Others terms to look for:

Click Floating

A click-together floor is installed by simply clicking together. “Floating” just means it is unsecured to the subfloor.

Schon Quick Clic Engineered Santos Mahogany is a click-together floor!

 

Bellawood

Our Bellawood comes with a 100 Year Transferable Warranty. It is enhanced with a UV aluminum oxide finish. Basically, that gives Bellawood products a superior scratch resistance.

Handscraped

Handscraped flooring is created by hand with wood scraping tools to give it an old wood appearance. It’s a very popular choice with those who want the look of an old reclaimed wood floor with a modern urethane finish. Hand-crafting is rare these days, which why our Virginia Mill Works collection is so unique and stunning. You may see natural grain markings and knots.

This is Virginia Mill Works Vineyard Heart Pine.

In fact all of our friends are now considering this floor, too.” (Virginia Mill Works Old World Oak)

(Golden Teak Handscraped)

 

No wood flooring brand or finish is truly “scratch proof,” but if you have pets and worry about putting in new floors check out Bellawood. These floors are pre-finished with eight coats of an aluminum oxide water-base urethane. Our Bellawoods have a Taber Rating of over 2000!

Taber Testing is an abrasion testing method designed to measure the abrasion resistance of protective floor finishes. Flooring squares are secured to a turntable and then weighted with sandpaper. The turntable is rotated, causing the sandpaper to wear against the finish. Each full revolution of the turntable is counted as a Taber cycle. The number of rotations it takes the sandpaper to get through the finish becomes the ISP Taber Rating for that finish. Finish warrantees are established by this testing.

“Swiffers”  -Tiffany S. (We would advise against using any wet mop, but a dry Swiffer mop should work well!)

“We replaced our carpet with hardwoods. It’s so much easier to clean. I vacuum and use the libman freedom mop” –Lisa V.

“I’m constantly sweeping my hardwoods or using the swiffer vacuum. To wash it I use the Bellawood floor cleaner in the Rubbermaid revel mop. It’s great!” –Lisa S.

“…Two big dogs, no issues. They adjusted to walking on it rather quickly. I think the handscraping helps. Easy to clean, I just use my micro fiber mop every day and once a week, twice if necessary, I use the hard wood cleaner from LL, Piece of cake!” –Terrie D.

“I have an Irobot roomba. I call her Rosie. Best investment I ever made. Great on dog hair and all the sandy dirt that gets tracked in…” –Jill O.
