Grandeur Prestige Engineered Hardwood

Prestige is Grandeur's brushed American oak line, and its colours carry Toronto neighbourhood names: Bridle Path, Forest Hill, Lawrence Park, Rosedale, Sunnybrook and York Mills. There is no smoking or scraping here, just a light brushed texture over the oak grain, which gives a cleaner, more classic floor.

Plank size is 7-1/2" by 3/4" in random lengths, topped with 3 mm of American oak. That is enough wood to allow sanding and refinishing later, so the floor can be refreshed instead of replaced. Prestige is listed for on, above or below grade installation, which covers basements, and has a 35 year residential limited warranty. Brushed oak in these tones suits bedrooms, living rooms and home offices, and the texture keeps everyday scuffs from showing.

Most of the colours are light: Bridle Path and Forest Hill in blonde and beige, Rosedale in natural, blonde and beige, and Sunnybrook and York Mills in natural and beige. Lawrence Park is the warm option, in taupe, brown and reddish tones. 22FLOORING supplies and installs Prestige across Toronto and the GTA, with engineered hardwood installation from $4.90 per square foot, including glue and nails.
