Dear forum members,
Today, we looked at samples of hardwood flooring and, in this context, the seller pointed out an innovative wood floor from the company Hywood.
According to them, this floor is significantly more resistant to dirt, scratches, and moisture due to its manufacturing process. The manufacturer claims that it can even be installed in bathrooms.
In addition, unlike traditional hardwood flooring, it does not require regular oiling. On top of that, it is about 20 euros cheaper per square meter (roughly 2 dollars per square foot) compared to the hardwood flooring we prefer.
Since we have small children and want to install flooring in the kitchen and dining area as well, this sounds quite interesting to us.
Does anyone have experience with these types of floors?

Sealed floors usually look "like new" for longer than unsealed floors (oiled or similar). However, once the first scratches appear (surface damage), in my opinion, it always looks bad. There are strong dark stains that, unlike with oiled floors, can no longer be removed. Apart from environmental considerations, this is a clear advantage for "solid hardwood" in my view.
