Shaw - Castlewood Oak - Nobility SW485-01111
Nobility gives Shaw Castlewood Oak engineered hardwood a balanced medium-brown look with the natural variation expected from real white oak. The wirebrushed surface brings grain, knots, mineral streaks, and natural splits into clearer view, while the low-gloss presentation keeps the floor from looking overly polished or uniform.
Each plank is 7.48 inches wide and 9/16 inch thick, with random lengths from 13.8 to 74.8 inches. A 3 mm white oak veneer, micro-beveled edges, and a UV aluminum oxide finish support the collection's natural hardwood character while providing a practical surface for everyday residential use.

Installation, Use and Warranty
Castlewood Oak Nobility can be installed by nail, staple, glue, or floating methods and is approved for above-grade, on-grade, and below-grade locations. Shaw also lists the product as suitable for radiant heat installations when the system and jobsite meet the manufacturer's requirements. Because this is real hardwood with high color variation, installers should blend boards from multiple cartons to distribute lighter, darker, and more character-rich planks naturally across the room.
Znet Flooring lists a 50 year residential finish warranty, 5 year commercial finish warranty, and lifetime structural warranty for this SKU. Nobility is a strong fit for buyers who want wide-plank Shaw engineered hardwood with visible oak character, flexible installation options, and a medium-brown color that works without relying on a perfectly uniform appearance.
