Love the product but can't find molding strips
This is a great product and super easy to install. Remember that on concrete surfaces you DO need a vapor barrier, but on second floors you do not. The only negative is that you cannot find the transition moldings anywhere. And if you buy them from the manufacturer you are going to pay 2x as much AND you only get 1 piece (total rip off). I put this flooring in my closets, master bedroom and home office, but now I am regretting it because I cannot find any transition strips.

NOT spillproof
We purchased over 1000 sqft of this flooring after having purchased a box a few years ago and assembling a pad that we had in a high traffic area of our house for a couple of years to test durability. The original box purchased seemed great, no trouble with scuffs or wear, so we decided to lay this in our main floor. The "upgraded" flooring is supposedly 24 hours spill proof. We have laid the floor in 3 bedrooms and more recently in our living area. The flooring is not spillproof for even a couple of hours. The edges begin rippling and bubbling. It is beautiful floor, but this is an absolute disappointment. Will be looking for a refund and other options.
Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. The Select Surfaces Barnwood SpillDefense laminate flooring is designed with a tighter seal for enhanced waterproofing for up to 24 hours, making it an excellent choice for busy households. We understand that real-life situations can vary, and we recommend addressing spills promptly for the best results. We'd like to help resolve your concerns—please reach out to our customer service team at 1-855-250-8167 or info@selectsurfaces.ca. Thank you, Select Surfaces
3+ years and counting…
Let me start by saying I have NEVER liked laminate from day one on the market…just wasn’t a fan of it…the feel, sound, quality, overall look. This floor is different! I researched it immensely before purchasing 2000 sq ft for my home and I am NOT disappointed even after living on it over 3 years now! It went down very well, the transition pieces all match very well and hold up to door traffic. This flooring is extremely durable, doesn’t scratch and stays beautiful. Highly recommend! I have pets and 11 grandchildren that come often…these floors stand up to life. I will say that in my research of reviews that none of the other colors seem to have as good of a result against the peeling that is notorious for laminate. Just something to keep in mind.

Perfect Product!
This flooring was perfect for our project. I used it in my remodel of the 1830 farm house that has been in my family for 90 years. It is very durable and easy to install. It looks exactly like reclaimed barn wood right down to some saw blade marks.

Love our new flooring!
We installed the Barnwood Spill Defense Laminate Flooring on most of our main floor (about 1200 square feet), and it is beautiful. Looks like real wood, feels good to walk on, and it was fairly easy to install. We've only had it in for a few weeks, but so far we are very happy with it, and for the price, you can't beat it!
Floors are a bust!
I'm only giving these 2 stars because they are pretty and they were inexpensive compared to other floor of equal thickness. After installing these in our home and using them for ONE day they already have 4 chips! We have been extremely careful when placing furniture and even take our shoes off to walk on it. I have NO IDEA how they chipped. If I would have known these were going to be so fragile I would have spent the extra 1,000 on a name brand. I read all the reviews on the flooring and was convinced it was a good option. I was so wrong. I am extremely disappointed with my purchase and would not recommend this floor to anyone. The outer most layer of these floors is extremely vulnerable to damage. Do not purchase if you want a floor that will last. Do not purchase if you have large dogs or kids. To be honest, I wouldn't recommend them to anyone. You can get better flooring at an equal price at a discount dealer. This was the largest purchase in our total home renovation and I'm totally sick knowing it was junk. Save yourself the heartache. As far as installation these were really easy to install. During installation we had about one box total that was chipped and unusable.
Hi Erica. We're very sorry to hear about your experience. Because our laminates have an AC4 rating, chipping should not occur with normal residential use. However, it is important to follow the instruction guide when installing the planks to prevent damage. It is also important to protect your floor by putting felt pads on your furniture and trying to avoid dragging or dropping heavy objects onto the laminate. Please reach out to us at 1-855-250-8167 or techsupport@selectsurfaces.ca so we can further assist you with this issue. Thank you, Select Surfaces.
Beautiful Flooring
Purchased to replace carpet in three kids bedrooms. It turned out absolutely beautiful and seems very sturdy. The installation was easy. Just be prepared with a saw for cuts and we watched a great you-tube video before we started on this product which provided good tips. We are so happy so we are purhasing more flooring to do the master bedroom. Other than the bedrooms, the remainder of the house is tile and the transition was perfect with the molding kit. I did a lot of research prior to purchasing this product and it is better than many other floorings of this type and at much better price.
Darker than pictured
We bought this to replace carpeting in our family room and dining room. The Barnwood flooring is much darker in person than it is in the product photo. Despite the color being darker than we’d hoped, we decided we like the coloring and would keep it. This was the first time we installed laminate flooring. The instructions were easy to follow and installation was simple. We shopped around for awhile before agreeing on this flooring. Our deciding factor was this brand features 24 hr water defense along with the attached pad. It truly was the best value for our money.
Hi! We're very glad you're enjoying our laminate flooring. We'd love to see pictures of the finished result at https://www.selectsurfaces.ca/send-us-your-photos. With regards to the shade of the planks, if you're ordering online, you can order samples of our laminate at selectsurfaces.ca. If you're physically at a Sam's Club, you can see the different shade samples on our displays. That way, you'll be able to see the shade variations in person. Thank you, Select Surfaces.
Not as easy to install as some others but nice
I purchased 126 boxes of this flooring to place in my living room, dining room, kitchen and hallway (open floor plan). I went with this product instead of cheaper sq ft products from Lowes because this flooring is waterproof (spills for 24 hours), comes with backing installed, and is a much thicker product than most (about 1/2 thick and heavy). The trick to installing this is to place the product into the groove of the first piece at a 45 degree angle. Then tapping gently lower it to the floor until it snaps into place. I had to learn this by messing up 3 or 4 pieces before figuring it out (there are no instructions). You will need pull bars, plastic guides and plastic hammers to install this product (same as you use for any laminate flooring installation). Once I figured out the secret to installing it correctly - the installation went very quickly! This is for high traffic and light commercial use. I installed it into our home. Now after 3 months of heavy traffic (with a dog too) it still looks new. I HIGHLY recommend this product. btw ... I caught it on sale at Sam's saving about 40 cents a square foot.

Surpassed Expectations
We installed the Select Surfaces laminate barnwood color in 2018 or 2019. It's beautiful and has held up well with dog nails sliding across it and other everyday activity. I wanted you to also see how it's held up to a natural disaster. Our house was hit by a tornado in March 2024 and it ripped part of the roof off two bedrooms. The pictures show what the floor looks like in one of the rooms after the debris, damage and water was cleaned up after 5 weeks. While obviously the floor will have to be replaced because it was wet for several days, or weeks, what you don't see is buckling or the quality of the flooring compromised. (The white residue is from the wet insulation that was on it.) If it will hold up that well under those harsh conditions, I have no doubt that it can hold up to just about anything under normal conditions for many years to come. The flooring will be replaced with the same.
