The quality of Malibu Wide Plank French Oak Mavericks exceeded...
The quality of Malibu Wide Plank French Oak Mavericks exceeded my expectations. Each board was perfectly straight and without any issues at all. It went together easily from start to finish and we are super pleased with how nice it looks and feels. I would highly recommend this product! We had purchased a similar and more expensive product in the past and the quality of this equaled the more expensive one.

        Beautiful Flooring
        Beautiful, quality floors. You can just feel the quality when walking on them. The color is so beautiful. They transformed our entire space and we couldn’t be happier. Our only issue is they didn’t have matching transom pieces that transitioned the floor to the carpet. Home Depot didn’t carry the size needed so we had to order a different product for this that didn’t totally match.

The Home Depot Measure Services Team offers excellent professional installation if needed when you’re doing a Tongue & Groove staple down or full spread glue down application over a plywood or concrete subfloor. The click locking series are very DIY friendly and can be completed as a weekend project or professionally installed.

          The wood looked fantastic down and was a great match to the samples. The cost and ease of putting down were also great. We will see how it holds up over time, but so far the experience has been excellent.

          The Malibu Wide Plank French Oak Rincon is a true whitewash and part of our WireBrushed Collection, which are sealed with 7 layers of the latest super low gloss (7-9% Gloss Level) urethane finish with aluminum oxide, providing protection from everyday wear, this is a Prefinished hardwood floor. One major influence of how the floor will look is the lighting in your home. Artificial lighting, LED daylight or natural lighting vs. Yellow Halogen/LED will change the color visual of your hardwood vs natural lighting coming through windows. The Malibu Wide Plank French Oak Rincon is a true whitewash character grade visual featuring 7.5" Wide Planks x 74.8" Lengths with 50% of planks in each case being full length, and a 2mm Sliced Face Veneer which adds to the gorgeous character in every plank. The artificial lighting in your home can be one of the major influences on the color of your floor. Much the same way a can of paint applied to two different rooms (one that receives limited natural light and another that's flooded with sunshine) will look different, your flooring will have a different appearance depending on the lighting in your home. And because natural light changes in intensity, the time of day will also have an impact on the way your flooring looks. Incandescent and soft white fluorescent bulbs intensify warm colors but tend to fade cooler colors, while halogen and full-spectrum fluorescent bulbs most closely mimic the bright light of natural sunlight. Bright colors look best in bright white LED, fluorescent or halogen bulbs. Darker colors and rich textures tend to look best under accent lights and duller bulbs. Suggest experimenting with different lighting options and the pink may go away. Halo makes a great LED 6" Can retrofit with 5 Selectable temperatures from 2700-5000k. All Malibu Wide Plank Hardwood Flooring is natural, sustainable, renewable and recyclable and the flooring of choice among the majority of homeowners. JasonMWP

          French Oak Rincon is a whitewash and one of the most popular sellers. Hardwood Samples are available online in a 5" x 7" format. Unless multiple samples are purchased it can sometimes be challenging to see the true color from such a small sample size. This stunning Engineered Flooring collection comes in either a Click Lock 3/8” Thick x 6.5” Wide x Lengths to 47.6” or a Tongue & Groove 1/2” Thick x 7.5” wide x lengths to 74.8" and utilizes character graded hardwood to meet our design specifications. This character grade may include naturally occurring cracks, splits, knotholes, mineral streaks, filler for stability, etc. Due to the nature of natural hardwood flooring there can be a difference in samples and the received product due to a variety of issues, including color/tone, naturally occurring character imperfections such as knotholes and mineral streaks, etc, as well as grain orientation. One major influence of how the floor will look is the lighting in your home. Artificial lighting, LED daylight or natural lighting vs. Yellow Halogen/LED will change the color visual of your hardwood vs natural lighting coming through windows. We highly suggest reviewing all room scenes, digital assets, reviewing store samples if available, and always order online samples available for purchase. JasonMWP

          After two years not wearing well
          When we first installed the flooring we thought they were gorgeous. Problems we are having is the rincon planks are not wearing well after only 2 years. We no longer wear shoes in the house because of the floors. The planks are very light colored and have wood grain so any dirt the might come in from the outdoors gets embedded into the grain making the grain dark and dirty looking. I have literally gone down on my hands and knees to scrub with a soft brush but can never get it to look like new again. Also, it scratches easily. We put felt pads on most of our furniture but still find scratches which are on white wash rincon planks and scratches can’t be hidden like dark wood that when it gets scratched can be covered up with a scratch pen of the same color. I contacted the company about a year ago to find out how to cover scratches but never got a reply back. When I use bona wood floor cleaner which dampens the floor it really shows all the scratches because the scratches (bare wood) darkens when exposed to the cleaner. Our household is a small 2 person household and not rowdy and no one wears high heels so I’m disappointed on the durability. We might sell our house in 10 years and I’m very worried about how the floors will look at the time.

            Very good product but be careful when ordering pallets
            Overall I was impressed with this product. The fit and finish was excellent. I installed ~2000 square feet and did not have any unusable or blemished boards. It's only been installed for a month so I can speak to durability. ***When purchasing be very careful when ordering full pallets of the product***. I purchased two full pallets that provided 10% over my actual square footage. HD would not accept returns on my remaining 8 unopened boxes because it was not a "full pallet". It would not be difficult to determine the cost per box based from what I paid, and I would even accept a 15% restocking fee, but HD does not see it that way. Unfortunately a frustrating end to an otherwise good transaction.

            Malibu Wide Plank can be purchased online in either 1 case or 1 Full Pallet Quantity. Full pallet quantities which are roughly 1000+ (40+ Cases etc) Square Feet per pallet are offered with a bulk retail pricing discount. If needed to return the Item cannot be returned in less than full pallet quantities, stated in bullets on product listing page. Options would be then to purchase (1) full Pallet to take advantage of bulk retail pricing discount, then purchase X amount of Cases to provide enough square footage to complete your installation. Then if any individual cases are remaining after install, these cases could be returned to store for a refund as long as in re-sellable condition. JasonMWP

              The entire collection of Malibu Wide Plank Hardwood Flooring is very durable. There are ways to prevent scratches on Hardwood Flooring by taking proper precautions to protect furniture and chair legs and feet with felt protectors. Moving heavy objects without a dolly and/or protective plywood beneath may cause damage to any type of flooring. Damage may also occur from spiked and/or high heels and pet claws. Falling objects can also dent or fracture any type of flooring. JasonMWP

              We did quite a bit of research before buying these, everything from hardwood to wood-look tile. We landed on this flooring as the best all-around choice. We had to buy a full box since samples were sold out, but the second we opened it we knew it was the right choice. We did our entire living room and dining / kitchen in this and are very pleased!
