After listening to the Pianeta Legno Flooors (PLFloors) sales pitch, we installed an estimated 800 sf of flooring. After a few months the planks started splitting and warping leaving sharp points protruding. Efforts to have Pianeta Legno remedy the situation have been in vain. Today, April 25, 2011, they claim we should have known the flooring needs humidification systems installed in the house. Had the retailer told us that we needed a humidifier we would not have purchased the flooring from Pianeta. A humidifier costs money, has to be maintained daily, drips water everywhere, needs space, can’t be left on when on vacation, can be tipped over and looks unsightly. My suggestions: if you are going to install hardwood floors, buy it at a large home center. Their products are vetted and they stand by everything they sell. I have purchased more than half a dozen homes in the past 5 years and time after time I have had nothing but good experiences in getting remedies from the large home centers.
