Bellawood Artisan's Sanibel Island White Oak flooring enhances any room with its neutral tones and distinct oak grain. Its cool, calm design complements themes with bright shades and varied textures or adds a touch of nature with nautical elements and greenery. Part of Bellawood's Destinations Collection, this floor has a real white oak wood layer with gentle wire brush distressing to show graining detail and provide a refined texture and low sheen finish. The engineered wood core allows installation on any level of the home. Highlights include a 5/8 inch thickness, 9.45-inch width, and multiple installation methods such as Nail, Glue, Nail with Glue Assist, and Edge-Glue Float. It has a 4mm veneer thickness, 100-year residential warranty, a 5-year light commercial warranty, and is FloorScore Certified. Use of a pad is recommended, and it's compatible with the QuietWarmth Radiant Heat System. Installation tips suggest storing flooring flat in its packaging and preparing a clean, flat, smooth surface. A moisture barrier is required for concrete subfloors, and mixing planks during installation achieves a more natural look. Bellawood's premium aluminum oxide finish offers excellent stain, scuff, and scratch resistance, backed by a 100-year transferable warranty. Engineered flooring features real hardwood layers with a plywood, MDF, or lumber core, providing excellent stability and resistance to seasonal changes.
