   Fifty Year Finish Warranty?

   Boy, they seem to be climbing higher and higher. Sorry Dan, no experience here. Do they have anything to do with Beaverhome.com?

   *Dan --- A fifty year guarantee on the finish is marketing hoo-ha. It sounds nice, but in practice doesn't mean anything. The usual wear on a wood floor is dings or scratches that go through the finish into the wood. The guarantee does not cover that sort of stuff. I just installed 800 square feet of Husky prefinished oak in a remodel. The installed cost was roughly the same as unfinished. The big benefit was eliminating the mess and smells of finishing -- the owners are living in the house during the remodel. I'd do it again, and use Husky. Jamie

   *Ken, Yeah fifty yrs. Have to look into the warranty - probably doesn't transfer when the house is sold and who ever lives in a house for fifty yrs nowadays - definately a marketing ploy but it works!Don't believe they do.Dan

   *Jamie, Thanks for the reply. I agree about the marketing but as I replied earlier - it works in certain cases... When was the last time you had anyone read the fine print of a warranty? Usually we (americans in general) read the large print only and then get upset when we find out later we aren't covered for something that went wrong. I for one am going to look into husky's warranty for professional knowledge and curiosity's sake. Thanks for the comments.Dan

   I am looking into remodeling a kitchen to include new Hardwood floors. Cust wants to save $$ by using Red Oak 2 1/4 T&G prefinished Husky floors. Says, "like the 50 yr warranty". Anyone used them before and have an opion???
