Handscraped laminate flooring is just that - flooring steeped in authenticity that the plates used to create the planks are scraped by hand. The result is an impeccable real wood texture and look, available in three traditional finishes.

Oiled wood collection is laminate’s answer to the growing popularity of oiled finishes in wood flooring. Products in this collection have a distinctive low sheen, matte finish like that of real oiled wood. The line is available in three options: Oiled Maple -- a three-strip design, Oiled Teak -- a two-strip design and Oiled Teak Shipdeck. Shipdeck is a two-strip design (planks are 3 and 3/4 inches wide) featuring black debossing and no end joints, for a rustic, lineal appearance. As the name implies, the look is reminiscent of the weathered and long, lean planks of ship deck. These new products have such detail, charm and authenticity, they almost belie the advanced manufacturing technology used to create them.
