I finally have found what I am looking for that is a very, very close match to the flooring we are trying to match..........Bruce Summerside Strip. What is the quality of this particular product? Would love to hear what the experts say :) I am concerned because it says it has a 15 year warranty, whereas several of the others I've seen have been 30+. Is this a good product? Excellent product? Poor?? Thanks for any advice!

IMO it's a great product. Alot of guys dont like Bruce, still not sure why, been installing it for years. I have it in my home, and comparable quality to the Summerside,( 3/8, Dura Lustre, 5"widths, beveled, #2 ( shows alot of character). It's actually only just above their entry level products. I installed just over 3000' and didnt want to spend huge bucks at the time. It's performed great for 7 years now. Looks like new, ofcoarse I'm meticulous on the maintenance, and protect the floor.

I'm a fan of the 3/8 3 ply products. All those other products with twenty plies means nothing. What you want is a balanced ply anyway. Plus 3/8 matches up to lots of ceramic flush, unless your on wood with a backer board.
