Shaw Cornerstone II - Clove SW789-07141
For those seeking depth and drama, Clove delivers a rich brown tone inspired by its namesake spice. The engineered white-oak planks are 7.48 inches wide and display high variation, with dark and medium brown shades mingling across the floor. A wirebrushed surface reveals knots and grain, while micro-beveled edges lend refinement. Finished with UV aluminum oxide, Clove resists scratches and wear, ensuring that its deep color remains striking over time.
A 3/8-inch profile and 1.2 mm veneer provide dimensional stability without excessive weight. The boards come in random lengths from 15.74 to 74.8 inches, creating a varied, natural pattern. Engineered construction means Clove can be installed on, above or below grade, and it is compatible with radiant-heat systems.
