I noticed the plank length is shorter than other Harris Tarkette floors listed on the internet, most being around 7-8 feet in length. I have two long hallways and a Kitchen I am considering intstalling this floor in. The ease of installation attracted me. What about the end result? Does it look as good as individual pieces (2" -3" wide)nailed down? Do you notice the shorter pieces? How is the finish holding up? I cannot find any information that states how many coats of Alumide are on it either (3 or 7) ?
