Shaw Bridgewater Eucalyptus - Riverbend SW790-07142
Riverbend captures the look of weathered eucalyptus with medium brown hues and subtle grey undertones. The 6.5-inch engineered planks display high color variation, giving floors a natural, river-worn appearance. Smooth surfaces and micro-beveled edges create crisp lines, while a UV aluminum-oxide finish safeguards against scratches.
With a thickness of about 3/8 inch and a 1.2 mm veneer, Riverbend strikes a balance between stability and ease of installation. Mixed lengths from 17.5 to 74.8 inches evoke the feel of reclaimed planks. This eucalyptus floor supports installation on any level of the home and is suitable for nail, staple, glue or floating methods. It also performs well over radiant-heat systems.

Installation, Use & Care
Prepare the subfloor by cleaning and leveling it, then choose the installation method that best fits your needs. When floating, use an approved underlayment and leave proper expansion gaps. To care for Riverbend, sweep or vacuum regularly and mop with a damp cloth; avoid excess moisture and harsh detergents. Use rugs at entryways and felt pads on furniture legs to protect the finish.
The earthy palette and durable engineering of Shaw Bridgewater Eucalyptus Riverbend make it a versatile option for entryways, living spaces and other areas that benefit from a darker, grounded hardwood aesthetic.
