On Line Solid Wood Floor sites

[iddon]

Any recommendations for on-line sales of Oak, Maple solid wood flooring or indeed those to avoid?

Hi Iddon

It depends what expectations you have for quality of the wood you are after. I think the resident experts will recommend steering weel clear of 'internet shops' if you are hoping to have anything of genuine quality which will last.

Provide some more details and I am sure that a plethora of help will be offered.

What area do you need?
What width of board?
What thickness of board?
What length of board?

Sorry for not being more helpful, but I have just gone through this process myself and have no purchased flooring from a real shop!

Iddon: if it sounds too good to be true it mostly is.

Quality comes normally at a price, and the ones specially to avoid are those offers that state" the random length is there to create your own unique floor (or in other words: they've put so many short lengths in the box you don't know where to look for the uniqueness )

Also don't trust samples that much, some suppliers can be very selective when it comes to sending out cut-off's - that won't show you the true grade you are in fact buying.
Information before, during and after you purchased your floor should also be at the forefront of any seller IMHO.

GW, hope you mean you have noW purchased flooring from a real shop

Yep, engineered oak from a real person (he even had a face!). I was hoping to have popped by your place but it was over a 240mile round trip.

(Thanks for all the help - they'll be more questions coming soon!)
