Shaw Floors Natural Timbers Bandsaw Engineered Hardwood

Ask any installer what separates good engineered hardwood from the rest and they will point at the wear layer, not the price tag.

In simple terms: Shaw Floors Natural Timbers Bandsaw is genuine pecan on top of a stable engineered base. That is what lets real wood go into rooms solid flooring cannot, while still sanding and finishing like the real thing. We carry it and install it with our own team.

It is real pecan, warm tones with strong grain character, closely related to hickory. On the Janka scale Pecan runs about 1820, harder than oak and a strong choice for high-traffic rooms. The core is the quiet workhorse here. A multi-ply core resists the expansion and contraction that makes solid wood cup, gap, or lift. Planks run 8.66 inches wide, a wide-plank look that shows off the grain. The surface is smooth, a clean and contemporary finish. Micro-bevelled edges give each plank a defined line and absorb the seasonal movement of a wood floor.

Decision line: choose Natural Timbers Bandsaw when you want genuine hardwood that will stay flat over a slab or in a basement.

We install Shaw Floors Natural Timbers Bandsaw with our own team, not subcontractors, across the GTA, Barrie, and Simcoe County. The method depends on the subfloor, glued to concrete, floated, or nailed to plywood, and a flat, dry base matters more than anything.
