Shaw - Castlewood Oak - Estate SW485-07100
Estate is a medium-brown color in Shaw's Castlewood Oak engineered hardwood collection, built around the natural movement and variation of white oak rather than a flat, uniform visual. Its wirebrushed face brings out grain lines and authentic wood character, including the knots, mineral streaks, and natural splits Shaw highlights across the Castlewood Oak style.
The planks measure 7.48 inches wide and 9/16 inch thick, with mixed lengths from 13.8 to 74.8 inches. Estate uses a 3 mm white oak veneer, micro-beveled edges, and a UV aluminum oxide finish, pairing a substantial wide-plank format with the dimensional stability of engineered hardwood construction.
