I want to use 3/8" thick Schon Quick Click in my new home, but don't know if it's any good.

I have installed the click flooring as well as glue down and solid red oak. let me tell you the engineered flooring is really nice as it is done as you complete it. other floor types require other steps and are less user friendly for non professionals. keep in mind you are not going to re finish it if it gets scratched up like solid wood however it would also remove in a few hours. all types of flooring have pros and cons you must decide what matches your desires and skills. like i said i am capable of installing all types but for my last room addition i used the click together type with the laminate finish floating on a foam vapor barrier and i would use it again

I haven't used engineered, but I have used the solid oak flooring. The Flooring will need to aclimate to your home, so buy it a few weeks before install, lay the boxes across the floor (not stacked) and wait a couple weeks. Then open a box and look for any imperfections You want to see if it's curled or coming apart. if there's any at all, you may want to return the box and start with the next. Put in the flooring and leave about 1/2" on the sides to allow space for expansion with heat and cold. put in your trim boards and it should all look great, return any pieces that aren't 100%, after all you're paying major $$ for decent material, you should get good stuff. Good luck. Schon, I don't know much about, I really like the Bruce hardwood flooring.

I'm not sure if this will help. If you're talking about the laminated flooring that resembles hardwood I have heard it works well, and installs easily. The tile flooring I recently saw that goes down in a similar fashion looks interesting. I was impressed with it's quality but can't vouch for the product as I have yet to see it on a floor. Both are considered to be quite durable and easier to repair than conventional flooring. I would be tempted to use them myself.
