We bought the top of the line commercial flooring made by WilsonArt for a high end dermatology office/spa. We were told that this is the most resistant material and that it would withstand all sorts of damage and not get scratched or dented. Supposedly, this flooring is much better than real harwood floor and should last much longer.
The office is very well-kept and we are meticulous with cleanliness. There are no pets, rarely children and no food is allowed.
Even tiny amounts of water damaged the floor, like slight splashing from washing hands or dampness from rain.
We had it installed in June 2009 and we have had to replace the flooring once already from water damage, costing us over $10, 000. Now it is damaged again. The first time there was more water, but the second time, we couldn't even locate the source of the water leakage; there was no rain, no spilled drinks, no splashing from hand washing.
True, it has no dents and scratches, but the edges of the planks are all warped and we are needing to replace it for a second time. We have three other floors that we installed floors and thankfully, we installed high end real hardwood floors. These floors have been a much better purchase and we are very happy with them.
Now that it is damaged again, we are considering replacing the entire floor with a different material. We will never buy WilsonArt again.
