Anderson® EnCore Plus®

Piazza Rustic Wood Flooring Collection

Inspired by the walled gardens common in the historic district of Charleston, South Carolina, the Piazza Rustic Wood Flooring Collection is Appalachian Hardwood’s newest introduction.

Piazza Rustic Wood Flooring adds a new sizzle to the Appalachian handcrafted series. This true rustic look is achieved through a unique hand wiping process combined with a factory distressing exclusive to the Anderson Family of Fine Hardwood Floors. Each 5-ply Cross-Locked Engineered® rustic plank in this intimate collection has been carefully hand-crafted to produce the look of a lovingly cared for antique floor. Every board is 4½" wide with a nominal thickness of ½" (11.9 mm). They have an eased edge profile to accommodate slight variations in the surface of the sub-floor.

Real Rustic Wood Planks vs. Plastic Laminate Flooring
Plastic laminate flooring looks and acts just like a real wood floor, right? Well, not exactly. The countertop industry has entered the world of floor covering in the past few years with a product called plastic laminate flooring. While these floors have somewhat the appearance of wood, upon closer inspection they can be seen to be more closely related to cardboard. The printed wood image can be as thin as a human hair and when chipped it exposes the fiberboard core of the panel.

The visual appearance of the printed wood pattern may look great in a small sample, but in a large area you will notice how the pattern of the flooring panel repeats - usually about every five boards. Also, when you walk upon a plastic laminate floor your footsteps make a hollow, tip-tappy sound.

All floor covering wears and when plastic laminates chip, or when they lose their gloss due to wear, they must be thrown away. Most real wood floors, such as Appalachian Hardwood's, can be renewed by applying additional coats of urethane to the surface. And with Piazza Rustic Wood Flooring, all floors are backed by a lifetime structural warranty. So why have "fake rustic wood flooring" when you can have a real rustic wood flooring that adds real value to your home?

Add a touch of the rustic genteel Old South to any style architecture with the right combination of color and species: Walnut, Oak, Maple or Hickory.

As with all Appalachian rustic wood flooring the homeowner is protected by lifetime warranties for structural integrity and adhesion if instructions are followed. There also is a 25-year finish wear-through guarantee.
