After 130 years of foot traffic and re-sanding, our trusty 1888 hardwood floors have officially reached the end of their life.
We're considering one of Pergo's high-end, waterproof product lines as a replacement (either "Outlast" at $2.79/sq ft, or the newer "Timbercraft" at $2.99/sq ft). Does anyone have experience with these, how they hold up, and how realistic they look? Both Outlast and Timbercraft come with a residential lifetime warranty (which is nice, since the floors will be contending with kids and a greyhound), but I'm worried they're going to look and/or feel plastic-y under foot. The samples look decent, but it's difficult to visualize entire rooms with it.
We're not planning to sell our house for a long time (20+ years), so the immediate impact of this decision on the value of the house isn't really a consideration.
