Kahrs Engineered wood is what I used -- it is in fact a laminate (nice wood is laminated on top of a dimensionally accurate soft wood of some type (birch?))

but it is not a laminate of some photo of vinyl (I hate that stuff)

Is there a flooring store that can advise you in your area? Winters a re mild here, so you may need some other technique.

also call the manf. repr. & it never hurts to read all their technical info carefully...
