Noble

Noble is a small, two-colour line where the draw is the amount of real wood on top. Both Versailles and Provence have a 4 mm white oak wear layer, which gives room to sand out wear and refinish the floor years from now. That matters in a home you plan to stay in.

Planks measure 7-1/2" by 3/4", come in random lengths and have a smoked, brushed face with ABCD grading, so knots and natural colour shifts are part of the look. The brushed texture also helps hide light scratches from pets and daily traffic. Noble can be installed on, above or below grade, including basements, and a box covers 23.32 sq ft. Grandeur's limited warranty is 35 year residential.

Versailles is the lighter of the two, in natural, blonde and beige tones, while Provence sits in natural and beige. 22FLOORING supplies and installs Noble across Toronto and the GTA, with engineered hardwood installation from $4.90 per square foot, including glue and nails.
