Shaw Bridgewater Eucalyptus - Coral Sand SW790-01176
Bridgewater Eucalyptus in Coral Sand brings light, coastal charm to engineered hardwood. The 6.5-inch wide planks are milled from eucalyptus, a renewable hardwood known for its strength and expressive grain. Coral Sand's palette combines sandy beige with a hint of blush, and high color variation ensures each board feels unique. A smooth surface and micro-beveled edges create a sleek appearance, while a UV aluminum-oxide finish protects the floor from scratches and wear.
At roughly 3/8-inch thick with a 1.2 mm veneer, Coral Sand balances stability and ease of installation. Mixed lengths from 17.5 to 74.8 inches evoke the feel of wide-plank flooring without uniform seams. This engineered eucalyptus floor performs well over radiant heat and is approved for installation by nailing, stapling, gluing or floating on any grade.

Installation, Use & Care
Coral Sand can be nailed or stapled to wood subfloors, glued over concrete or floated with an approved underlayment. Maintain consistent indoor humidity and allow expansion gaps along walls. Routine care involves sweeping or vacuuming to remove grit and damp mopping with clean water; avoid excessive moisture and steam cleaners. Because eucalyptus is a harder wood than oak, it delivers good resistance to dents and dings, making it suitable for active households.
With its light, beachy tones and durable construction, Shaw Bridgewater Eucalyptus Coral Sand is an excellent choice for modern coastal interiors, kitchens or family rooms seeking an easy-to-maintain hardwood floor.
