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.

This can only be answered if you were present during the installation. I would suspect these are simply different batches—one finished with matte varnish, the other oiled.

It’s clear from the first post that this concerns the entire floorboard.
You might be surprised. Apparently, you have little experience with parquet as a material or real wood as a flooring option.

Sunlight or something similar has altered the texture so that it matches the rest.

Apparently, Pinky wasn’t aware of this.
And I have absolutely no experience with it.
Is there a way to make the surface texture of an oiled floor match that of a matte lacquered one?
Replacing the floor probably won’t happen, since it’s mainly an aesthetic issue and the floor still functions as intended, right?
What kind of compensation can be requested in such a case? (This is quite a serious mistake..)

That is already a major mistakeAccording to your own definition.
In my opinion, for example, it simply does not matter. Others have opinions somewhere in between.
You could ask if there is any compensation, but frankly, I just can’t imagine it.
