Greyfriar in Shaw's Castlewood Hickory collection reimagines rustic flooring with subtle grey-brown hues and a reclaimed-wood aesthetic. The wide planks feature sawn-face veneers that showcase hickory's natural knots, mineral streaks and timeworn charm. These muted tones provide a sophisticated backdrop for eclectic and contemporary interiors.
A wire-brushed finish enhances texture, while a matte top coat helps hide scratches and scuffs. Engineered construction ensures the boards remain stable across seasonal changes and allows installation in spaces where solid hardwood might not be suitable.
