Original Hardwood

Even though shaw wood flooring is not completely made from solid   hardwood, they still carry the same warmth, aesthetics and durability of   hardwood floors. A high quality shaw wood flooring can easily last for   decades, just like hardwood floors and can also be refinished if they start   losing their shine. Moreover, as they have a superior build when compared to   hardwood, they are resistant to humidity and temperature. As a result, this   type of floor can be installed anywhere, in your kitchen, close to a fire   place, basements and every other place where you cannot think of installing   hardwood flooring.

Construction

Shaw wood is created by piling layers of original wood that are   finally bonded together. The upper layer will show the same characteristics   of a high quality hardwood floor. Below the top layer, there are many   different layers of HDF (High Density Fiberboard) that strengthens the   flooring and makes it much more durable and stable as compared to hardwood   floors. Moreover, when you are out buying shaw wood flooring, you will see   that they are available in many different colors, wood species, textures and   finishes. And when they are installed, they will just look like original   hardwood floors.

Installation

One of the best things about shaw wood floorings is the fact that   they can be installed in many different ways. They can be floated, glued and   even stapled. It will depend on the type of product that you choose. Out of   all the available options, it’s the floating types of installation that is   the simplest as you can simply place the planks on top of any other   layer.

Remember the above mentioned benefits when you are planning to get   hardwood flooring at your home as shaw wood floorings can provide you with   the same aesthetics and durability along with many other   features.
