EPIC Plus

With 143 colours, this is the biggest Shaw Floors engineered hardwood line on our site, spread across hickory, maple, red oak and white oak. Each plank shown has a 1.2 mm hardwood veneer on an engineered base, 3/8" or 1/2" thick, so you get real wood on top with more stability than a solid board.

Most styles carry the Repel water-resistant finish, which gives you time to wipe up pet accidents and kitchen spills. Albright Oak uses ScufResist Platinum instead, a good fit for busy hallways. Widths run from 4.94" to 6.38", plus mixed-width styles such as Grant Grove, and textures range from smooth to scraped, heavy scraped and wirebrushed. Installers can nail, staple, glue or float the planks, they are rated for above, on and below grade, and they work over radiant heat, so a finished basement is on the table. Cartons cover 19.72 to 34.96 sq ft.

Colours include Surfside, Basalt, Timberwolf and Espresso. 22FLOORING supplies and installs EPIC Plus across Toronto and the GTA, with engineered hardwood installation from $4.90 per square foot, including glue and nails.
