Shipping Details

This distressed bamboo flooring gleams with silver undertones, offering an intriguing twist on traditional ash brown. Bold color variation and a distressed surface lend a vintage quality to each plank, recalling the nostalgia of a childhood hideout.

Pet-friendly and scratch resistant
Easy to clean and never needs refinishing
Highly durable bamboo, 3x denser than hardwood
Built to last: backed with 50-year residential warranty
Breathe Easy - eco-friendly floors with ultra-low VOC
Both bamboo and eucalyptus are extremely fast-growing, and can be harvested sustainably without causing any damage to the plant or surrounding environment, providing viable and eco-friendly alternatives to traditional lumber
Each carton contains 8 planks with 21.5 sq ft/box planks are 72-7/8 in x 5-5/16 in x 9/16 in
Planks feature a click-lock milling system for easy DIY installation using a glue-down or floating application
When installing over concrete subfloors, use a moisture barrier such as CALI Complete underlayment or an appropriate sealant, and use a vapor barrier such as CALI Complete for floated floors or a silicon vapor shield for nail-down installations, while avoiding any underlayment more than 2mm thick.

What Customers Are Saying

The reviews provide a mixed sentiment about the product. Many customers praise the flooring's attractive appearance, easy installation, and durability. However, a significant number report issues with the surface being fragile and prone to scratches, dirt, and footprints. Some also experienced problems with gaps, squeaks, and separation between the boards over time. While the engineered version seems to perform better, the reviews suggest this flooring may not be suitable for high-traffic areas or homes with pets and children.

Beautiful and Durable

Would Recommend

We installed this flooring 8 years ago, and love it so much that when our carpet got damaged, we came here to purchase more to use in our bedroom. It's soft and warm when barefoot, has a beautiful glow, and even in the shifting foundations of Texas clay soil, has not warped or started creaking or separating. We couldn't ask for more!

Poor Quality. Warranty is useless.

Would Not Recommend

Purchased all the flooring for our newly built home through them in 2020, move in date of February 2021. It's now April 2026 and we've experienced severe weather in spots. Ours is a shoes off home and we've never used abrasive chemicals to clean it. I called to inquire about a warranty claim and was told that the 30 year residential warranty does not cover wear and only covers manufacturers defects that would almost assuredly only show up at install. They also have discontinued the color we purc...

Good replacement for the natural wood

Would Recommend

The wood is engineered and the difference in quality (not look) from the natural bamboo I have in my entire house is obvious. I would have bought the natural wood one but it was not available anywhere at Lowe's. The delivery was superb! I loved it Kudos to the delivery team!

Scratches incredibly easily

Would Not Recommend

We were excited for these floors and initially liked the look but within the first week noticed significant scratches both on the surface as well as deep chips and internal separation on several of the Board edges. Not sure if a bad batch or what, we have been careful yet the damage worsens daily. Please save yourself $10k+ and do not buy this floor. We will probably try to live with it for a few years and then rip it all out again.
