Appears you are re-installing the same Maple Manhattan in other areas of your home after a year or so in between installations. The Maple Manhattan is a true whitewash, this collection is produced from Canadian Character Grade Maple Veneers which are 2mm thick on top layer and have a gorgeous degree of color variation as you can view in all digital assets. Colors should be somewhat consistent with your existing floor, however your existing floor may have slightly changed due to light exposure. Most Hardwood Flooring would be considered photosensitive. Regardless of product being UV cured prefinished Hardwood Flooring, wood changes color over time due to oxidation and exposure to light. Some species darken in color over time, while others lighten. Both natural sunlight and artificial lighting can change the color of a floor over time. Flooring installed in rooms with a lot of direct sunlight can be affected. This may not be evident until a rug or piece of furniture is moved. Areas of a wood floor that were covered with an area rug or furniture will not darken as quickly as an exposed area of flooring. Once the rug or furniture is moved, these areas will catch up in time to the same shade as the exposed area is. Most all Hardwood species will change color to some degree over time. This is called patina or aging. This is mostly caused by Ultra Violet Rays (sunlight) beaming in on the furniture and bare flooring.

If you wanted to strip off all (7) Layers of Factory UV Cured Stain & Finish, and bring floor down to raw unfinished smooth wood, pending the install application this could technically be done (1) time on the 3/8” & 1/2” Engineered Locking which has a 1.2mm Thick Face Veneer and (2) times on the 1/2” & 9/16” Engineered Tongue & Groove which has a 2mm Face Veneer. However this sand & finish is not covered under warranty as there are too many variables which can affect the outcome performed by your professional sand and finish mechanic. More then likely you would never sand and finish a prefinished floor unless you want to 100% Change the color. You would also lose your lifetime residential finish warranty and the surface texture which is wire brushed or distressed with saw mark etc. If needed for whatever reason you could apply a new coat of finish to the floor using the Basic Coatings TyKote or Bona Prep recoat adhesion method for recoating a prefinished hardwood floor that contains aluminum oxide. If board damage occurs, you can always have a professional mechanic perform board replacement.

The first bullet under Owner/Installer Responsibility states: “Before installation inspect the flooring for any manufactured defects. Defects on the face of the planks can be avoided by trimming the plank, and the remainder of the plank used, this is expected to minimize waste. Any board deemed unacceptable should simply not be used. If there are concerns with the quality of the product, please STOP installation and contact the Home Depot to address the issue. Stain missing from the edge of planks should not occur and should not be installed. However if it falls within the 5%-7% waste factor of the total Square Footage being installed it may be under the acceptable allowance.
