Hello everyone,
We have purchased a condominium in a newly built development. During the second inspection, we noticed one plank in the hardwood floor that looks different. It is much darker than the rest of the floor. In addition, the entire surface is smooth (like polished), but this one plank feels rough.
Does anyone know what might be causing this? Is there anything that can be done without having to replace the plank? Otherwise, what would be the legitimate steps for the builder to take for corrections?
We recorded the issue in the inspection report as follows: Living room floor has a rough surface.
I am attaching a photo – I hope it is clear.
I hope you can help us a bit. Thank you very much in advance.

I don’t think ventilation, sunlight, or similar factors change the material enough to match the rest. As I said, the surface is completely different – and to me, that is definitely a defect?!

By plank, I meant the board. I’m not very familiar with the technical terms here.

The point was also that this is not a defect as such and will simply disappear on its own through normal use.
Let in the sunlight and after about three months you might not see any visible differences anymore.I wouldn’t just accept that so easily, something definitely isn’t right here. Everything costs so much nowadays that you can’t just accept things like this. Sure, you could say that after a few years of use the scratches won’t matter so much. But actually, you wouldn’t buy a new car with stone chips that are unavoidable anyway.
I even complained about dirty covers on my cable ducts in the utility room...
