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.

Well, waiting and hoping for a year is probably the wrong approach when you are paying a substantial amount of money.
Yes, there are always 3 strips per plank.
According to the builder, they were in the apartment with the contractor and applied a thin layer of something as a remedy. However, this did not help at all.
It might have been possible to sand through, but the other (not visible) side of the room is the living room, which also has parquet flooring.
There is a building specification:
3-layer ship deck, natural oak classic, matte sealed
Planks: approx. 2200 x 206 x 13.5mm (wear layer approx. 3mm (0.12 inches))
Brand: kingston classic

RotorMotor20 Aug 2020 09:58The three per plank probably explains why many complain about the installation. However, it does not seem to be done any other way.
I would find the plank bothersome.
It is much darker and more yellowish...
