Can anyone tell me what type of floors these are? Composite? Engineered wood? Hardwood? Brazilian Koa Tigerwood? I’m purchasing a home with this in certain rooms and would like to know how realistic it is to put it in the rest of the house. It was installed in 1995 in GA

That looks like it's hardwood and that it was installed "pre-youtube" meaning the person who installed it didn't know enough to stagger the joints or to cut the moulding to put it under that. It looks amateurish installation wise. It's too thin to be a floating/engineered flooring. If you do decide to install it in the rest of the house...do it correctly ;-) This person didn't. It makes me wonder what else they installed incorrectly.
It's a pretty bad installation of what Lumber Liquidators used to sell as Brazilian Cherry. I think it's actually garapa.
