Sahara

Colour is the main difference between this line and Regal, since both use the same 7" by 60" (1515 mm) plank and the same construction. Pick it when one of its eight shades suits your room: Beige, Blue, Cream, Fruit, Gold, Harle, Light or Seed.

Inside each board is a 12 mm HDF core. Its AC5 grade is a strong wear rating for a home, so kitchens, hallways and rooms that see dogs and kids are all suitable. The surface is waxed EIR, where the texture follows the printed grain, finished at medium gloss with painted bevels along the edges.

Installation uses an interlocking system. Plywood and concrete are both listed subfloors, and the planks can go on any level, from a finished basement to a second-storey bedroom. It is rated for residential and commercial use. Warranty terms are 35 years (structural) residential and 3 years (structural) commercial. 22FLOORING supplies and installs Sahara across Toronto and the GTA, with laminate installation from $3.20 per square foot.
