In this video I am going to help you avoid the embarrassment of picking an outdated flooring trend for you home!
Regardless of of whether you need your hardwood floors refinished or if you are having new wood floors installed, you need hardwood floors that will impress your guests! Thats what we are here to help you do.
We will go over three different wood flooring trends. One of them is a specific type of hardwood that is outdated… Think LVP, Engineered, Pre-finished etc. The other two trends are specific stain colors you want to avoid.
Then at the end I am going to shotgun off 5 other old trends to avoid…
You won’t want to miss watching this video. AVOID THE EMBARRASSMENT of outdated floors.

Which of these trends do you dislike the most?
This video could use a lot more photos BUT I was wondering about this. Yes – I have long since noticed a LOT of places have that dark gray-stained wood floor appearance, I am aware that most are vinyl LVP, and I've seen where that look is achieved with roll or sheet vinyl too I believe. I hate to admit it, but I do like that look with the white walls as well. I recently got some door mats, and an inflatable mattress, and they do "out gas" but mostly initially. After I put the door mats out in the sun, they didn't smell anymore, and the mattress eventually stopped smelling too, but I should have put it in another room with the window open or something.
A lot of plastics are not carcinogens, and there is a new class of alternatives being developed from mushrooms.
Fellow men…when faced with this hard decision, grab your wife by the hand, point at three good choices, and let her make that final filtered call. Ignore all other advice.
Tell us what’s in style while sporting that mustache…..
hmm…here I was thinking of buying red mahogany for my new floor. Care to elaborate why red mahogany is dead?
LVP is pretty good and easy to install, I would prefer hardwood but it's not always the best or most practical approach.
Was wondering WHY the HATE from you on LVP, then noticed your name. 😂😂 – Biased much????
So today I've learned that $15/sqft flooring will be nicer than $3/ft flooring. Someone call the town squire.
If your buying LVP you’re not trying to look rich, you’re just trying to have a floor and everything else is to expensive
I have been saying this for years! Never been a fan of LVT, AND ABSOLUTELY HATE “GRAY” faux wood grain since time begin. You are right on the money, dude.
I did multiple lvt 'click' floors ( to my friends/family members/cousins.. ) different tones etc.. and i must say, i love all color tones.. can something be trendy or not.. i really don't care if i like it.. All comes to that to fit the color of the floor with other furniture/lights ( how room/rooms are located and how lights going in that rooms ) .. you can make every single tone/color to work. Grey flooring for example maybe are dead.. because is not trendy.. i really don't care.. i did mine years ago, matched it with everything else in the house.. so to change it because … oh not trendy? That stupidity what people going for "fashion" is really dumb.. Anyway, if you rich .. do tiles and real wood. if you on the budget.. lvt and be happy.. they all looking nice and most important.. is clean and you feel good to be in that room.. so yup.. just go for it whatever color/tone you choose… and enjoy the life… For every person arround who bitching about how this floors are not environmental friendly.. well none are.. we chop living tree to walk on it.. if you think of.. 🤌
That floor was not "greyish" it was very orangey which i absolutely do not want lol i like whites and light greys i like things to look very simple, bright and clean
I have engineered hardwood floors. Can I put a tinted polyurethane over the floors? Because they're gray to give them a brown tent
Vinyl is toxic to make factories are over seas where pollution is common. Carpet is made in USA so don’t support china and Korea plus it’s still a temporary resilient floor just like carpet or wall paper. It’s a Floor Covering. We been ripping it out left and right due to water going under it. In a flood it’s usually disposed off unlike carpet which you just extract and dry. Tile is the only floor imperious to water.
Excellent information, thank you!
Great video!! Thanks 😊
The skit was really funny!
There shouldn't be trends in things that should last 30 years or more. Trends automatically contribute to the disposability of our society.
How about this: 'A guy with 'Hardwood Supply' in his channel name insists that LVP flooring is terrible.' It's not about trying to mimic hardwood floors; I can afford hardwood flooring, but I wouldn't install it in my house….
I am surprised LVP is dying. I only started hearing about it in the last 2 years.
😂😂😂😂😂😂
Your comments are spot on and obviously earned. Long retired from hardwood floor installing/finishing days but can't stay away from good sense regarding my trade. And yes ,I occasionally got calls to come and price refinishing what was Luxury Vinyl Plank . People really thought it was wood and I'm sure were helped along the way by a contractor who just didn't manage to tell like it was. There is no cheap way to bypass attentive and committed grading , milling , installing and finishing a wood floor . Being a cyclist ,I am familiar with builder Keith Bontrager's line : 'Cheap ,light, strong.Pick any two.'
Funny how this is from a Hardwood supply.
the acting and the humor is top notch – really well done
So true what is spoken about luxury plastic flooring polyurethane polymer vinyl 😂
I love my lvp floors easy to take care of looks great and durable 4 years later I would do it again!
The acting is so terrible, I love it! 🤣😂
I’ll be putting hardwood floors in as soon as soon as they are waterproof and cost effective
Chasing trends on something as expensive as floors is a mistake. Go with what you think you'll still like in 15-20 years. If your friends are judgemental, get new friends.
Just another useless video by an "expert" that just wanted a few minutes of face time. Get what you want – this doofus most likely has carpet.
Another great video! Thx
Doesn’t address the problems with real wood. . .durability and easily damaged and cost 3 to 5x more. This guy makes his money from hardwood.
True. Using the name luxury vinyl plank is a marketing gimick. But so is demonizing all plastic in your home cancerous. Everyone. You better go throw your carpets away. Causing cancer.
Real hardwood will last more than 100 years or more and compost when it’s ripped out. LVP has a 15-year lifespan, and can’t be recycled. It will have to be replaced 7-10 times compared to the hardwood.
The pine floors with white and sand dune stains. Do you mind briefly explaining the process? What is the mix ratio? Did you bleach the pine before? Or did you use NordicSeal? What was the top coat? Thank you.
