Why the Coastal Premium Collection
- Coastal-inspired color palette — Driftwood, sand, weathered grey, and natural-tone European oak — designed for modern coastal and Pacific aesthetics.
- European oak source — Quercus robur (European oak) features wider grain pattern and slightly higher density than American white oak.
- Wide-plank widths — 7"+ widths read modern and emphasize the natural European oak grain.
- Brushed matte finishes — The current designer standard — hides surface scratches better than gloss and reads as authentic wood.
- Aluminum-oxide protection — UV-cured topcoats with 25–35 year residential wear warranties.
