Bistro

Bistro is a classic 5" plank, and it is the Fuzion collection to look at if you want oak and maple in the same style. Six colours are oak with a 3mm dry sawn face, and three are maple with a thicker 4mm dry sawn face. Both sit on a multi-layer plywood core at 3/4" thick, in random lengths up to 47 1/4".

The oak shades are Éclair, Morchello, Frappe, Barista, Aroma and Antique Pewter. The maple shades are Mochaccino, French Roast and Chai. Every board is wirebrushed with micro-bevelled edges and has moderate colour variation, so a hallway or dining room reads as natural wood without looking busy. A UV cured polyurethane with aluminum oxide gives it a low-lustre sheen.

Installation is flexible. Bistro can be nailed or stapled over a wood subfloor, glued down, or floated, and it is fine for on, above or below grade rooms. 22FLOORING supplies and installs Bistro across Toronto and the GTA, with engineered hardwood installation from $4.90 per square foot, including glue and nails.
