Has anyone heard of the hardwood floor company called Foresbec/ForesFloor and if so can you comment on its quality? Here is why I ask: I have heard great things about a company called Mirage and it has been called the “Cadillac of hardwood floors”:..however with that come some high prices. Two different people I have been speaking to have mentioned that Foresbec/ForesFloor is also excellent..same warranty as Mirage…same number of coats of Polyeurethane..Canadian mill using microbevels and same quality but I would spend at least $2 less per square foot. They say Fores does not do heavy advertising (making it more cost effective but not as well known) but the quality is just as good.
Per Foresbec Corporate there is only 1 authorized distributor in MA and some hardwood floor retailers have never heard of this company. The retailers who know about it confirm the above positives.
Saving money without sacrificing quality sounds good to me but looking for some thoughts. Thanks!

avi yama dassYama in Hinduism
Main article: Yama (Hinduism)
Yama is a Lokapāla and an Aditya. In art, he is depicted with green or red skin, red clothes, and riding a water buffalo. He holds a loop of rope in his left hand with which he pulls the soul from the corpse. He is the son of Surya (Sun) and twin brother of Yami, or Yamuna, traditionally the first human pair in the Vedas. He was also worshiped as a son of Vivasvat and Saranya. He is one of the Guardians of the directions and represents the south. He reports to Lord Shiva the Destroyer, an aspect of Trimurti (Hinduism's triune Godhead). Three hymns (10, 14, and 35) in the Rig Veda Book 10 are addressed to him.[edit] Yama in Buddhism and Chinese mythology
Main article: Yama (Buddhism and Chinese mythology)
The Vedic Yama, with certain changes of function, was the basis for the Buddhist Yama, judge of the dead, who presides over the Buddhist Hells. The Buddhist Yama became an integral part of Chinese and Japanese mythology. Although ultimately based on the god Yama of the Hindu Vedas, the Buddhist Yama has developed different myths and different functions from the Hindu deity. He has also spread far more widely, and is known in every region where Buddhism is practiced, including Tibet, China and Japan.[edit] Yama's abode[edit] Naraka (Hindu)
Main article: Naraka (Hinduism)
Naraka in Hinduism, is compared to the Abrahamic concept of Hell. However, Naraka in Hinduism is not equivalent to Hell in Christian ideology. Naraka is only a purgatory where the soul gets purified of sin by sufferings. In Hindu myth, there are many hells, and Yama, Lord of Justice, sends human beings after death for appropriate punishment. Such punishment can be in boiling oil, etc. Even Mukti-yogyas (souls eligible for mukti or moksha), and Nitya-samsarins (forever transmigrating ones in Dvaita theology) can experience Naraka for expiation.[edit] Naraka (Buddhist)
Main article: Naraka (Buddhism)
Naraka is usually translated into English as "hell" or "purgatory". A Naraka differs from the hells of western religions in two respects. First, beings are not sent to Naraka as the result of a divine judgment and punishment; second, the length of a being's stay in a Naraka is not eternal, though it is usually very long. Instead, a being is born into a Naraka as a direct result of his or her previous karma (actions of body, speech and mind), and resides there for a finite length of time until his karma has achieved its full result.
