Mohawk Revwood Plus feedback

tsbanks
3 years ago

Anyone install or able to give me feedback on Mohawk Reveood Plus? I'm considering installing 1500 sq ft in my entire downstairs. I'm torn between it and Coretec. I like a thicker flooring versus the thinner LVP I keep seeing. I need waterproof as we have a pool and small children running in and out. The Mohawk floor is beautiful and you do have to install a backerrod fill and silicone to make it waterproof. We currently have 8mm laminate that is not waterproof. Thank you

    Has anyone installed the Revwood Plus Miramar Shores Coconut Oak flooring? I would love to see photos of that in an actual room!

    I would love to see Coconut Oak installed as well as I am considering it for my home

    Coconut oak is the dark color and palm tree oak is the lighter color from Redwood Premier collection. Which would you consider since I am not going to change the carpet on the stairs?

    Definitely palm tree oak DC! And I'm so jealous it looks that color in your home. In my house palm tree oak looks very yellow/greenish.
    I am in love with revwood select sand dune but wish I could get it in the newer premier line

    D C - or anyone else, where are you getting samples of the Revwood Plus? I’ve been unable to find anywhere to get them.

    I like the lighter color- dark shows dust and dirt easily.

    So I had written a comment and it got lost.

    1). Mohawk is having a sale on some of its Revwood flooring till the middle of next month. The Revwood Premier can be found as low as $3.92/sqft. Cheaper for Revwood Plus.

    1. Go to a Mohawk authorized dealer and they should be able to order samples that they will keep, but they will order the colors you’re interested in.

    I’ve gone to local Mohawk dealers and they are not honoring the reduced pricing that Mohawk has on sale right now. I only found one local store that is. So for the Premier I’ve seen it as high as $5-6/sqft right now. Not sure if they can price gouge like that… I might call Mohawk and inquire why the pricing disparity. In the meantime you can go to Znet flooring online for great pricing for the Revwood line right now

    Nicole, it’s all about the lighting. This was natural lighting. It’s so hard to pick flooring because you have to consider paint colors and lighting. Lighting, fortunately you can always spend a little money to change out the light bulbs temperatures so that it can create harmony in your home pallet. I feel with Palm Tree Oak I will be slightly limited in color pallet versus Coconut Oak which draws in cool and warm tones at the same time. But to keep the color consistency going on throughout the house it would make sense to go with Palm Tree Oak. I’m still debating. If Palm Tree shows more in terms of ink or markers and is hard to get out of the product then I’m going with Coconut Oak. Right now my carpet (which I am in complete love with) has been abused by adding a 2nd dog…. But the whelping pads I’ve used that has a black backing has bled into my carpet :(. I can get it out as I’ve done it before on a very small spot but this spot is now pretty large so I don’t know how effective I would be in removing it. I just don’t want the same thing happen again on the new flooring. I’ve seen videos where people have drawn on this flooring with markers and removed the color with acetone- just don’t know if continuous acetone usage will eat away at the surface layer or not. So I will be calling Mohawk soon :)

    Anyone have experience with any of the 8mm Revwood Plus lines? I'm having a really hard time finding something in Revwood Plus or Premier that looks authentic and works color wise and I found a color in Casita terrace, but it's 8mm (why on earth Mohawk would make an 8mm laminate in one of their top lines is beyond me!). I love the 12mm quick-step I have upstairs, but it's discontinued so I can't get that, (new flooring will be for downstairs) and the specs pretty much match the Revwood plus except the thickness. Would it be crazy to consider an 8mm, or even 10mm, laminate? I need quality and durability.

    Hi! We are in the middle of installing the RevWood Plus Castleshire Cavalry Oak. We love it. It’s a bit more light, like a white oak. Big, wide, long, boards. We love it!

    We just had Revwood Plus, Elderwood in Bungalow Oak installed last night. They made a mistake and gave us the wrong floor so I came to see the reviews on the Revwood. It's a beautiful floor. Exactly the look we were going for. Somewhat of a cool medium tone. Not pulling red. It looks a little darker in these pictures than it actually looks in person. The floor was just put in and hasn't been cleaned yet, so it's a bit dusty! It's not "loud" but I don't know what a loud floor would really be. It has that footstep sound with shoes on, but I don't think you can get away from that. The dog's nails aren't too loud which is what I was initially worried about. Here are pictures though.

    @heatherhiner Your floors are beautiful! I was hoping for a lighter floor but I really like the sample I have of Bungalow Oak. May I ask the color of your walls? Ours are SW Worldly Gray.

    I think it’s either Modest White or Reliable White by Sherwin Williams. I have to repaint after the remodel and I’m using the same color. I LOVE it. It’s the perfect calming off white. It reminds me of a white sand beach. It goes with absolutely everything! I seriously love it. If I find the can or when I go to the store to get more, I’ll let you know the exact name!

    We were going to put in Coretec but it's all made in China and we're not interested in that. Anyone have experience with the RevWood Premier flooring? It's very hard to find reviews on it.

  • D C

    I’ve decided to go with coconut oak. The samples they have in the store are generous but it’s really still very hard to get a full idea of the flooring. So I ordered a box. I placed in two pictures for comparison. The flooring store convinced me to do the stairs as well… we will see if that does goes as planned because I’m worried about any potential subfloor surprises.

    There’s one are of the upstairs by the bathroom which I feel there is a little lack of cohesion. But let me know what you think?

  • D C

    I wrote a comment but not sure it got posted. Decided to go with coconut oak and will do the stairs as well. I’m not sure if I like how it looks when it’s close to the area of the hallway that is close to the bathroom cabinets… maybe changing out the rug color will help. What are your thoughts?

    We installed it and love it! I was picky though and had the installer not use one of the planks that had a dark pattern I did not like. (He placed it where it would be under rugs or used for cuts)

    Has anyone had issues with the Mohawk Rev Wood Laminate? We have 2000+ Sq feet of Southridge French Beige and it is beautiful. Installed April 2022 from a newly built home, and the laminate is chipping everywhere, not even in high traffic areas. Word is they have discontinued multiple ftypes of flooring with the lower mm thickness for this issue. We bought extra cartons, now end of life and we are quickly running out. I'm ready to ask for a full replacement because every day or 2 more issues crop up. We are at a total of 14 flaws in only 8 months. thanks.

    Okay this past week/end I had the Revwood Coconut Oak installed.

    I did not have time to clean the flooring before taking the pictures as I just really needed to move things back so I can feel like I have a normal home. But this gives you an idea of how Coconut Oak looks like under artificial lighting (warm).

    One thing I love is that the planks are wide which makes the stair install more pleasant looking versus having smaller planks and seeing a lot of different joints making it look busy and a good indication of it being something other than wood.

    I went with a darker wood after experience color transfer from a doggie pee pad onto my light colored carpet. Mohawk rep said they don’t guarantee/warranty color transfer from a rug onto their floors. So I didn’t want to take the same risk even though the flooring sales person says such a transfer won’t happen.

    One thing to note: if you have this produce installed professionally you might want to ask them how they plan to install this product. The installation instructions seem to vary from what the rep stated in terms of waterproofing. Instructions mention using silicone and foam backer rod. Mohawk rep states backer rod isn’t necessary they just need to caulk the perimeter but they will not caulk the perimeter unless it’s installed in a bath or kitchen. The transitions between bathroom and bedroom only needed caulking and no backer rod. I also called up another flooring store and they also said they don’t use the backer rod caulking method. They also said that Mohawk probably won’t guarantee the floor unless it’s installed professionally.

    So there you go. The warranty thing is an interesting dialogue. If the floor does hold up well on its own I would think it’s okay to install it on your own to save the $$$. To me, if I had the strength, time and simple know how, I would install on my own and if they still voided the warranty it would still be cheaper to replace than having to pay for a professional installation.

    For those of you who bought a box of planks to test in your home, can you recommend a site to order through? Shipping is astronomical for sending a single box. I am seeing Shipping costs of $250+ - are y'all really paying this for a single box. Tell me I am missing something, please!

  • D C

    Shipping is a large cost. If you plan to install yourself look at Znet flooring. It’s cheaper to just order through a local Mohawk Retailer whenever they make their next major purchase order… that way you can avoid some of the shipping costs.

    @D C thank you for the tip! I will inquire about this with my local store I have been speaking with. Regarding installation, I, too have found that my local stores do not follow the stated installation process detailed by Mohawk. One store I spoke with said they don't do the foam backer rod and silicone but that their installation is still compliant with Mohawk's warranty. I don't see how this could be and I don't understand why installers are not wanting to follow Mohawk's installation process. More research to be done here!


    Also, thank you for sharing the pics of your floor. It looks fabulous!!! Nicely done and really changes the space!

    Regarding installers not following Mohawk's instructions: I specifically chose an installer because they routinely follow Mohawk's instructions. The others I considered agreed to do it because I asked but they definitely weren't eager. It takes them longer and y want to cut corners. I'd avoid installers who say it would be covered by warranty if they don't follow Mohawk's instructions - it won't be.

    We put in Revwood Select Sand Dune in November 2022 and I couldn’t be happier with it. I would have loved the newer premier like but the Sand Dune was by far my favorite color way.

    Also, I was not a fan of the stair nose piece that gets added on. So we opted to pay for real white oak stair treads and I’m sooo glad we did. It looks amazing and matches the floors so we’ll.

    I loved how your floor looks! It looks super natural and your real wood stair tread was a perfect compliment. I wasn't happy learning I would have to use a stair nose when I thought they were producing stair treads now, but only a few of the Revwood flooring has stair treads. However, when they installed the stair nose it wasn't too bad. It wasn't super obvious, and since I have darker flooring its actually been helpful in discerning each step. Did you install the flooring yourselves?

  • D C

    theunfinishedhome sometimes I wonder if this is a trick to make us have to buy more flooring if something goes wrong. I spoke to the local Mohawk rep again and he seemed to assure me that I won't have problem with the flooring even if its not installed with the caulking and/or foam backing rod. If I was anyone about to do the flooring, try to convince them to do the perimeter caulking before they put down the baseboards if they aren't going to do the foam backer rod however the foam backer rod is there to help the floor breathe due to the silicone caulking used.

    In regards to the way the flooring is installed..... we've had our floors for over 2 years now. (If you look back on this thread I posted pics). I too noticed my installer was not going according to the manufactures instructions. I requested a guarrantee from the installer and received a letter from Mohawk stating the warranty would still stand per the way the installer was putting them in.


    I will say after 2 years with rough use from kids and dogs my floors are standing up pretty well. Only a two spots with a nick in the floors from direct hits to the joint area from a screwdriver or who knows what else lol. I will say over time there are spots throughout the house that are a little noisy with pops or screeching noise. I am not sure if this would be caused by not being installed per their instructions but there isn't any guarantee for noise in the warranty. I can't remember what underlayment was put in. I was told a high end one but if you are gonna install I would highly recommend getting the best underlayment to prevent noisy walking. Its the only thing I don't like about the floors so far and its seems to be in the high traffic areas.

    I have areas where there are pops but I think its probably coming from your subflooring. I had replaced some of my subflooring... I thought the installer was going to replace all of the hallway, but he only replaced a portion of the hallway subfloor. The area he replaced has no noise, but the area he didn't replace has a lot of popping, coming from probably where the flooring meets the baseboards.... but also from the subflooring as well (I recognize the pops from the subflooring from when I had carpet). I really recommend that if you have subfloor issues (ie nails instead of screws and the nails are coming out, or if wet or warped areas) do whatever you need to do to make the subflooring perfect. I also have a slight incline and I thought he was going to apply compound to the subfloor to even it out, but he didn't and I was super surprised the revwood was able to lay across the incline especially the area where it transitions from incline to a flat surface. I'm still working on removing the dust from all the cutting off the floors (I find them on the microfiber mop head. I really do hope this flooring lasts way into 10+ years.


    I'm curious... how much extra flooring did anyone happen to order?
