I need to replace about 12 hardwood tiles at my place due to water damage. They are square, 9" x 9", and (I am guessing) 5/16" thick. They are micro-beveled. They are definitely of the engineered variety (one veneer delaminated due to water). They are parquet-type, but not the type you can make patterns with - the veneer is uniform, looks like oak. Installed in 1988.
Anyhoo, a flooring contractor gave me the following quote: $250 for 30-45 minutes of work plus $120 for a box of tiles. I offered $150 for labor, and he just laughed. Business must be good these days...
So I declined. I can do the work myself, but can't seem to find the replacement tiles anywhere. I visited the websites of iFloors, Bruce, Mannington, Harris-Tarkett and a few others with no luck. Bruce makes some parquet tiles, but in wrong size.
Any idea where I should look?
Thanks
