Vintage Hardwood Flooring is CRAP
Had our whole house gutted and renovated cost us $180,000. The main reason for a total reno was to have everything coordinate with a gorgeous new hardwood floor. We picked the Vintage Maple Godiva Estate 5 inch wide engineered floor. It was expensive but that was the look we wanted. Well the Vintage floor is absolute crap. Save your money and buy from a different manufacturer. Vintage doesn't stand behind their product. Before we even had our furniture moved back into the house after the reno the the floor had spots where the finish and color was "peeling" off between the boards. The problem was logged by our contractor with Vintage before we even moved back in. Vintage came over colored in the spots with a "touch up pen". The problem became worse over the first 12 months as 3 or 4 more spots popped up with significant peeling and 5 or 6 other minor spot. We phoned the flooring company and a Vintage rep came by and basically blamed us for the problem stating improper cleaning / humidity etc. The Vintage fix for our $25,000 floors is to color in the peeling spots with a felt pen and replace the a couple boards where the peeling is most severe. Really what crap! This floor was to be our pride and joy the main feature of a $180,000 renovation and the finish peels off! What is it going to look like in 10 years - don't buy a Vintage floor.
