Bellawood Artisan 9/16 in. Claire Gardens Oak Engineered Hardwood Flooring 8.5 in. Wide, $218.51 USD/Box, LL Flooring (Lumber Liquidators)

Planks offer more width for a stylish appearance, adding casual flair to interiors. The matte finish provides a relaxed elegance, complemented by the distressed texture for a weathered appeal. Engineered hardwood mimics the oak appearance through a hardwood veneer, featuring natural grain and knots for detail. The wear layer has a premium finish to resist scuffs and scratches, adhered to layers of plywood for durability. Plywood layers are cross-grained for added strength and stability. Suitable for any home level, including basements. DIY installation is possible, but professional services are available through a click process and glue. Arrange planks before installation to highlight natural variation in the wood. Use underlayment for wood subfloors for reduced sound and installation quality. For concrete subfloors, employ a moisture-resistant adhesive. Maintain floors by sweeping or vacuuming without a beater bar or harsh bristles, and occasionally clean with Bellawood Cleaner. With proper upkeep, maintain durability and beauty. Lighting affects appearance; request free samples to view in various home settings. Wood: White oak. Installation: Above, on, below grade.
