I highly recommend Launstein Hardwood Floors as they are so easy to install. I put down a 3/8 plywood subfloor on top of the 3/4 plywood the builder installed. This plus the 3/8 Red Oak flooring makes for a very solid 1 1/2" floor. A little stain and a couple of coats of Fabulon and you have a floor that is unbelievable. No squeaks and it is a floor that is just beautiful. We have it in our Kitchen, Dining Room, Foyer, Hallway and Laundry Room.
