We are installing the exact same floor, same color even, throughout our house. One room has been done for a couple of monthes. We have had no issue with scuff marks. We bought from a small, local flooring store that we were so happy with. The sales staff was very helpful and upfront. I specifically asked if we needed to put a finish on the floor (Karndean sells one) and he said no, you do not need to put anything on the floor. The reason we chose this flooring is because I work in a busy retail store that has this flooring. After 10 years and lots of abuse, the floor looks great. Isn't the floor pretty? We are so happy with ours. Wood was not a reality with our circumstances and we find this flooring to be a perfect compromise. It looks so much like wood its unreal.
