“I like the width, like the length, like the apparent quality of the planks. I wish the print the planks were made from was larger, I don't like seeing the same knot in the floor multiple times in a relatively small area. Still we are most likely going to give it a try and order.”
“I really liked this light wood color. The Lato signature has light wood graining and while quite light in color, still has some warmth to it. I think it would go nicely with nearly all wall colors.”
“It took 4 years to find light-colored flooring that was sturdy, has the mil-wear to last at least 15 years in a high-traffic small condo, and that didn't look a nice cream/off-white when under showroom lights but mushroomy when brought home. This flooring appears slightly yellow/cream next to maple kitchen cabinets, and under fluorescent and incandescent (warm color) lights. The boards are 6' in length = HUGE, but I know it won't take much effort for contractor to install. Been walking on the two sample boards that I placed in entryway, and for about 2 wks, now. These boards are THICK = over 7mm, and I've now decided glue-down would be best as the boards tend to shift around if floating, and this is due to the way people step / walk; cannot be helped. Did manage to crack a corner off the locking part of the board since the board shifted and creeped up the threshold, so we will be ordering endcaps to prevent issues AND glue the flooring down during install to prevent shifting and moisture capture, as this is Hawai`i and extremely all months of the year.
FINALLY found my flooring. Now to get it to Hawai`i is another story, but thank you to Florian at Flooret, I know this will be a great investment for the condo and worth the freight charges soon.”
