Shaw Cornerstone II - Cotton SW789-01173
Cornerstone II in Cotton brings an airy, coastal influence to engineered white oak. Wide 7.48 inch planks feature a soft palette of cream and beige tones with high color variation and subtle knots. A wirebrushed texture highlights the oak grain while a UV aluminum-oxide finish guards against everyday wear. Mixed plank lengths from 15.74 to 74.8 inches give floors a relaxed, organic rhythm that complements contemporary and casual interiors.
Constructed with a 3/8-inch profile and a 1.2-mm veneer, Cotton balances stability and authenticity. Micro-beveled edges minimize seams and add definition without pronounced grooves. This engineered hardwood is designed for versatile installation: the planks can be nailed, stapled, glued or floated over existing subfloors, and they are approved for use over radiant-heat systems. High color variation means each board is unique, offering a natural, lived-in look.

Installation, Use & Care
Acclimate the flooring if jobsite temperatures fall outside 45-115 F, then install using your preferred method: nail or staple for a traditional feel, glue-down for concrete slabs, or float with recommended underlayment. Maintain stable humidity to reduce movement and leave expansion gaps at walls. To keep Cotton looking its best, sweep or vacuum frequently, use felt pads on furniture and avoid wet or steam mopping. The UV-cured finish simplifies maintenance-a damp mop with clean water usually suffices for routine cleaning.
With its light, neutral tones and durable construction, Shaw Cornerstone II Cotton suits open, sunlit living areas, coastal-inspired interiors and spaces that call for a relaxed yet resilient hardwood.
