MSI W Series Ladson Hinton Engineered Hardwood Flooring
MSI W Series Ladson Hinton is an engineered hardwood floor with dark gray-brown oak character and strong natural movement. The color gives Ladson a deeper, cooler option for projects that need a bold hardwood presence without a fully black appearance.
Hinton uses a real wood veneer over a layered engineered hardwood core. The product data supports water-resistant design language, a matte CrystaLux Ultra finish, and approved float, staple, or glue installation options for appropriate interior conditions.
This floor is best considered for living rooms, offices, dining rooms, bedrooms, and hallways where a darker floor will not visually overpower the space. It can work especially well with pale walls, light cabinetry, and other finishes that benefit from contrast.
Construction and Performance
- Engineered hardwood construction includes a 2 mm veneer over a layered core for genuine wood surface character.
- Planks are 7.5 inch x 75 inch with 1/2 in total thickness and micro bevel edges.
- Finished with matte CrystaLux Ultra for surface protection and a restrained low-sheen appearance.
- Approved for float, staple, or glue installation, depending on site conditions and installation instructions.
- Warranty support includes limited lifetime structural coverage, 30-year residential finish, and 5-year light commercial coverage.
Color and Design Notes
- Hinton combines dark gray and brown oak tones with high visual variation and active grain.
- The shade is dark overall, helping the floor create definition in lighter interior palettes.
- Cool undertones make it less warm than chestnut or honey-brown hardwood colors.
- The bold movement works best when visible wood character is part of the design plan.
Hinton suits shoppers looking for dark water-resistant engineered hardwood with a real veneer layer, cool brown-gray tone, and strong oak movement. It is a good fit when a project needs contrast without unsupported waterproof claims.
