Republic's WoodMax SHARC North Forest collection introduces Nordic River-a laminate plank that channels the tranquil look of Scandinavian riverbeds. Soft greys and beiges flow across the 9-1/3 in. wide, 72-1/4 in. long planks, and subtle knots and grain lines mimic aged hardwood. Each board is constructed with a robust 12.3 mm laminate core and finished with a commercial-grade AC5 wear layer. Triple Moisture Protection Plus technology keeps the core stable and resists swelling or warping.
Nordic River planks are individually sealed and utilize a click-lock system, so installers can cover large areas quickly while ensuring a tight seam. The design supports up to 300 hours of water resistance, making it suitable for kitchens, entryways and other moisture-prone areas. At 23.31 sq ft per box, the long planks create a seamless, open feel and the 12 mm thickness provides solid underfoot comfort. A neutral colour palette helps the floor blend with both modern and traditional interiors.
