Virginia Mill Works Golden Teak Acacia Handscraped

“The Sales Associates and Installer took a lot of time to make sure that the product that I chose would be the best solution for installation on my concrete slab home. I was pleasantly surprised that this engineered wood product looks fantastic and is low maintenance.”

 

Dream Home Nirvana- Royal Mahogany Laminate

“I bought this flooring and had it installed in my new condo in the living room and dining room. I had really wanted hardwood but due to the fact that I was on a budget and my sub floors are concrete, I decided to go with laminate. It came out beautifully. The color is rich and it feels like wood under my feet.”
 

 

Builder’s Pride Red Oak

“Instant floor in one weekend!”

 

Lisbon Cork- Medina

“I first used this product in 2006, to cover a bedroom, a bathroom and the laundry room floors. I loved its beauty, feel and durability so much that, 7 years later, when I renovated the kitchen and den, it was my first choice in flooring. The rest of my house has original hardwood flooring and the two products complement each other beautifully.”

 

Dream Home St. James African Mahogany Laminate

“This floor was recommended by a friend and my contractor. The product is very durable and has a beautiful finish throughout my home. The floor was installed in my entire home, including the kitchen. I have had other laminate flooring in the past and this floor is highly superior to the other brands. Overall, highly recommended.”

 

Morning Star Strand Carbonized Bamboo

“I never installed floors before, so I had a friend who has help me get started then I finished the 1000 sq/ft job myself over the next week. It's hard work! Overall we're very happy with the flooring…Unbox all the boxes beforehand since there are slight variation in color (which we love).”

Bellawood on a Budget: Select Ash

 

Multiple contractors told Rocky and Angie they were “nuts” for thinking their budget would allow them to install hardwood flooring in their Elizabethtown, PA home. They had a price to stick to and looked around before finding Bellawood Select Ash at Lumber Liquidators.

  

Before making a decision they used our Room Designer to get a better idea of how the floor would look with the green walls and white cabinets in their kitchen!

“Our main issue was price,” Angie says. By using Lumber Liquidators, they were able to double the square footage of their order and do the kitchen and living room; something Rocky says would not have been possible elsewhere! Angie and Rocky chose Bellawood because of the 100 year warranty and the online reviews, an easy way to see what real customers think of Select Ash in their homes.

Angie says, “It’s really been super easy to clean. I actually don’t have to clean it as much as I had to do my vinyl floor. Even if something sticky gets on I don’t feel it as much.”

The couple says the durability of the floor is even better than the vinyl they previously had in the kitchen. Two children, dropped utensils, sticky food and spills are not a problem with Bellawood Select Ash. No more running for the steam cleaner or jumping on towels to clean up spills!

“We love our house, we take pride in our house, and we’re gonna be here for the rest of our lives, so it’s like, you know what if we’re gonna do it, let’s either do it right or let’s wait. And because of the price we got at Lumber Liquidators it’s like, we can do it right and we’ll never have to worry about flooring again.”

Dream Home DIY: Glacier Peak Poplar Laminate

 

“Our old flooring was disgusting, and bad, and nasty, and embarrassing and we knew that wood just makes the room look warm, and natural, and inviting.” With the help of her family, Nicole from Colorado installed Glacier Peak Poplar Laminate in her kitchen. The product is from the Kensington Manor line by Dream Home, and is unique because of the handscraped texture you won’t find with many other laminates. Check out Nicole’s journey to an upgraded home:

  

In a home with two cats and two dogs, Nicole wanted something durable and easy to clean! We’re happy she ended up at Lumber Liquidators, but her journey didn’t begin there. Before settling on Glacier Peak Poplar, she shopped around at two big box stores that would have busted her budget. She didn’t pick out top-of-the-line flooring, and still couldn’t find something within the budget. Another issue? She was made to believe a DIY installation wasn’t possible.

At Lumber Liquidators, she found an amazing, “off the charts” selection and ended up with the perfect floor within the budget. “I felt completely confident with all of the information that he was able to give us.” Eric at her local store gave detailed DIY installation instructions, including transition pieces to connect an adjoining room with different flooring. 

“The installation process was a lot easier than we expected. We finished everything in just one day, and once we got the first couple pieces down it just flowed all the way through the kitchen”

Now, Nicole enjoys the handscraped texture that feels great under bare feet. It is easy to keep clean, (especially with the cleaning kit she purchased) so there are no worries about what her four rescue animals might leave behind.

“There’s a lot of pride with us just having this in our home and then by having our family help install it, it really gave everyone a sense of pride.”

Customers Say:

“The floor looked easy to install, however, a professional contractor installed it for us. They did a beautiful job and it took them only one day.”

 “We ordered over 900 sq feet on Weds. Our installer ( for a small fee) delivered it to the house on Friday. On Monday we had beautiful new floors in the bedrooms and office. Lumber Liquidators delivered spot-on service, product and a great price. I'd buy from them again.”

“Great product, easy to install and planks that fit like a glove. Shines beautiffully and looks wonderful.”

“We needed to take out the carpet in our living room and den and to our surprise it only took us 2 weekends and a few weeknights to finish both rooms. They looked so beautiful we decided to do the entire house. As one of the reviewers stated, the room entrances do require more work, but the rest of the work went pretty quickly as my husband was installing as I laid out the planks. We absolutely love the results - our house looks brand new! I would recommend this product to anyone who is thinking of replacing their carpet with flooring.”

97% of respondents would recommend it to a friend 

Pros:

attractive finish, beautiful color, durable, easy to clean, easy to install

Customers Say:

“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.”

“Installed this in 90% of our first floor. Absolutely love this product. Love the natural wood grain and textures.”

“I had Lumber Liquidators contractors install this wood in my home. It looks like a new home, very attractive and appealing. This wood adds class to your home. It looks wonderful.”

“We live in an old bungalow and were looking for a rustic floor that would compliment the house. The best part is that we have two beagles who love to run, slide and play throughout the home. This floor has held up beautifully and because it is handscrapped and already has a sort of rustic look makes it the perfect floor to withstand dog toe nails. We are so pleased and have plans to extend it into other portions of our home.”

Pros:

attractive finish, beautiful color, easy to clean, durable, easy to install

Customers Say:

“My house had this hardwood in hall, living room, and partially in kitchen. Floor was put in 2 years ago. Rest of house was carpeted. I went and did the whole house in this harwood it is absoultely beautiful. And the floor is a perfect match!!!!”

“The floor went in without any issues. I have the floor in two rooms, the family room and connecting sunroom. The color is striking and we have recieved many compliments. The waste was very minimal.”

“The Golden Teak is in a class of its own. I just love the beauty of it and with the natural distress in the wood, any new dents or scratches will only need to be filled with stain to fit right in.. no need to walk softly in these floors! I had installed in the kitchen, hallway, and dining room. I will eventually put this floor in the two bedrooms to complete the flow.”

“This flooring is extremely durable. I moved my furniture from one room to the next while installing, including 2 very heavy pieces of furniture. The floor showed no signs of scratching or marks.Additional, the look and feel of the grooves between boards, and the overall appearance of the material, makes this product life-like.”

Rolling Falls Oak (4.6 stars)

What You're Saying:

Replaced wall-to-wall carpeting with this beautiful oak floor with area rug. The room has a warm, lovely new look, yet it seems like it's been this way forever. Love it. 

It really is beautiful once installed. We put it in the 3 bedrooms and hallway in the upstairs of our home. With attached padding and moisture barrier it is really quiet. We tested it with 3 grandkids and their parents visiting. Can't say how pleased we are.

 I wanted a floor that would withstand the constant use of people in and out. My den has three entries; back door, den opens to kitchen, & entry. All three areas are tromped thru with family & friends. Shouldn't have waited so long. Got is at great price. Looks smashing!

 Flooring looks good and fits good. Easy to install. We put it in daughters’ bedroom, they helped, it turned into a great family project. Doing another room soon.

 The Pros:

easy to install, easy to clean, beautiful finish, scratch resistant, feels great

The Look:

 

Hot Springs Hickory (4½  stars)

 What You're Saying:

The flooring was easy to install, not that it still wasn't hard work. I love my new floors. Makes the whole house seem more spacious.

Quality product, durable and attractive.

Great product. Easy to install. Since this was our first laminate floor to install, it took a while to finish the first room, but my husband and I were experts by the second room. It's very hard to mess up. The only time consuming part was try to match up patterns, but you probably don't have to. That's just me :-)

Very happy with laminate. Oh so needed, Oh so beautiful!

 The Pros:

easy to install, good price, great color, not super high gloss, great textured look 

The Look:

 

Boa Vista Brazilian Cherry (4.2 stars) 

What You're Saying:

Great flooring. My contractor had no issues putting this down.

Great look and feel

This is the first time I have ever ordered laminate flooring. I ordered it on line and hired someone to install it. Once the floor was installed I was very impressed with the look. The floor looks better in person once installed then in the pictures some people have posted...The planks are wide and have a beveled edge with a 2mm underlayment already attached. I also purchased the ECO Quiet Underlayment which makes walking on the floor very quiet.

We used about 300sqft for our living room and a small hallway in our condo. It turned out great. Wife was very pleased. Some of the boards were hard to snap in place, but it only took two days and two people (me being one of them who has never done this before) to finish. Very pleased with the quality and definitely would recommend this product to others.

The Pros:

easy to install, high quality, rich color, very scratch resistant, very affordable 

The Look:

Madison River Elm (4.2 stars)

 What You're Saying:

Great floor, great price. Also used a recommended installer, stiles flooring. Love the floors. Great job on install. Saved about $400 over big stores and got better floor. 12mm with padding.

Looks clean and brightens the room

This flooring is AMERICAN made, is very easy to install and really looks great!!!

I used it for the upstairs bedrooms, hallway and livingroom. Its not as bright as others, but not too formal as the darker woods, its a nice in-between pattern.

Product in easy to move cartons, easy to install, large planks look great, surface cleans easily - even paint glue or food spills!

The Pros:

easy to install, looks like real wood, durable, beautiful wood grain, pre-attached pad

The Look:

 

Lake Toba Teak (4 stars) 

What You're Saying:

I have been wanting a new floor in my kitchen for quite a few years and when this was put down I was not disappointed. Looks great and makes my kitchen look amazing.

It went down relatively fast for the first time ever laying down laminate. The hardest part was removing tile that we had in our house. That was horrible!!! But once that horrendous task was done, the laminate went down easy. It brighten up the room and what a difference it makes. The room picture is pretty accurate, but it looks even prettier in person. You won't be disappointed.

This is a very, very good wood laminate product. We put it in our kitchen and utility room. I really like the warm background colors and darker wood grain/striations.

We chose Lake Toba Teak for our attic floor. It was our first time installing a floor on our own, and while there was an initial period of trial and error, the installation was smooth and easy once we got the hang of it. We love the way it looks --- it has a bit of a rustic feel and complements the room perfectly. Very pleased.

The Pros:

durable, beautiful, easy to install, pad attached, simple locking mechanism

The 5 Steps to Hardwood: Step One

We're sharing the hard truth in five steps to having new hardwood floors!
Step One: Consider the Investment.

You may think the battle between hardwood floors and carpet is all about the look, but there’s much more than meets the eye. If you’re considering trading in your carpet for hardwood or even just switching up the wood you already have, there are a few things to think about! Check out our YouTube video from our customers who love their new floors.

 

Things to consider:

 1. Carpet can smell, and all the dirt and dust it holds onto may not be visible. One of our customers says it best: “With carpet, you never know what’s in there.”

2. If dust and dirt can hide from view, what kind of things are you breathing in just by sitting or sleeping in a carpeted room? If you or a family member has trouble with allergies, carpet isn’t helping.

3. Carpets can require extensive cleaning, especially with pets and children. Products like our Bellawood cleaner are simple to use and keep your floors looking like new.

4. Hardwood flooring lasts. Bellawood prefinished hardwood comes with a 100 year warranty! How long could you keep a carpet?

See the difference Bellawood Select Ash made in this kitchen?

The proof is in the pictures, and we have plenty more on the Before & After section of our website. Plus, if you have questions, you can check out our Flooring 101 guide and find a store near you with our Store Locator!
