My wife and I recently bought a weekend house up at Mt. Fuji. Before my better half will let me start on my woodshop we need to renovate the kitchen and put down hardwood flooring in the living/dining/kitchen. We like a Southeast Asia wood, pyinkado, http://www.mplustimber.com/pyinkado.html
However, we have been told by a competitor flooring company that pyinkado may not be a good choice because we will not use the house full time and there is a great deal of variablility in temperature. Mt. Fuji is coooold in the winter. Of course they recommend a different SEA wood which is more expensive.
1. Question: Should we choose another hardwood?
2. Question: floating flooring. I have heard about this technique but do not understand it very well. Would this be a good technique for the pyinkado, especially sine there is a lot of temperature variability?
Best wishes,
