Littora

At 14.3 mm thick with an AC5, Class 33 rating for heavy commercial use, this is the thickest and toughest-rated of the Beaulieu laminates we carry. An underlay comes attached, and the sound ratings are listed at IIC 63 and STC 62, which matters in condos and on upper floors where footstep noise carries to the room below.

The texture is registered embossed, so it follows the printed oak grain, and the planks are 7.68" (195 mm) wide with waxed micro bevels on all four edges. Water resistance is part of the HydraPlanks spec, making kitchens, entryways and busy family areas reasonable places for it. Boards click together on the Välinge 5G drop-lock system and float, with no glue and no separate pad to buy. The mat aluminum oxide surface keeps glare down, and the pattern repeat is 6.

Six oak colours are offered: Abyssal, Coralline, Cormorant, Loch, Nautilus and Shoreline. 22FLOORING supplies and installs Littora across Toronto and the GTA, with laminate installation from $3.20 per square foot.
