Is it real? This new laminate collection features the latest in bevel edge design. Technology and design made it possible... Rather than using a dyed or painted bevel edge, the laminate itself has been cantered and compressed into the edge bevel of each plank. This creates a more realistic looking appearance allowing the grain design to show through on the bevel just like real hardwood flooring.
Until now painted edge bevel designs were the only option. Now, antique inspired floors come in the form of low maintenance, high performing, no wax laminate floors with real wood designed bevel edges. The wood designs chosen for the madison collection are the most realistic available with current technology. There is a difference, a look at the images online provides an indication of the real product.
Never has the authentic appearance of real wood been so closely replicated. Madison's 8.3mm thick hand-planed surface conjures impressions of a wide plank hardwood floor. Full width planks remove any thought of a 2- or 3-piece veneer floor. Uncompromising and exclusive pattern designs and full laminate bevel edges fool even the most discriminating. Madison pairs easily with a wide range of interior styles.
The registered embossed grains and bevel follow the actual imprinted texture on the surface adding depth to the grain while creating a rich patina. The vintage finish provides a true wood appearance that spans design themes from contemporary to classic.
Easy, quick installation, simply lock the boards together. The wonderful look of a real beveled edge full plank floor ready for a lifetime of maintenance free use, in just one day.
Designed in California by Artisan Floors (R).
Handscraped Madison Collection features
* New Bevel techniques: The first real print 4 sided beveled edges not only provide plank definition to the new Madison collection but the actual pressed edges utilize the top grain decor versus the standard painted bevel. Real edges fool the senses, creating the illusion of a real wood floor.
* Wider widths: The Madison Collection features a 4' long x 6 5/16" wide x 8.3 mm thick plank.
* Latest Finish: The new silk finish with improved grain depth is pressed over an actual high density core board and beveled edges for an authentic wood appearance. A bevel feature not yet available in even the highest end collections.
* Thicker, quieter: The pressed bevel Madison collection features a 8.3mm total thickness.
* Density matters: Delano utilizes an HDF, High Density Fiberboard core, featuring pressed bevel side treatment, which results in greatly improved appearance and resistance to denting. An advantage over MDF, Medium Density Fiberboard cores typically used in the construction of floors at this price point.
* Aluminum What? The Madison Collection is coated with an Aluminum Oxide finish, the most durable finish available to date. Guaranteed for 25 years, this provides for a low maintenance, no wax floor that will look great year in, year out. The details: High quality non-porous laminate top decor, pressed into the hand carved High Density Fiberboard core for a realistic time worn real wood look.
* Understated Stability: Fused, non porous laminate back balancing board helps prevent warping and cupping of the laminate plank.
* Install and Uninstall: The new glueless click system makes installation faster and easier than ever. In the event a plank is damaged later on, the floor can be unclicked and planks replaced where needed.
* Resists Moisture: An Acrylic impregnated moisture resistant core is used for resistance to common household moisture incidents.
* Accessorize: Exact Match doorway floor transition pieces for nearly every transition in your home. This includes doorway transitions to carpet, exterior doors, brick hearths, vinyl floors, and other wood or laminate floors of similar height. Stairnose trim and wall base are available as well.
* Latest in Design: The single 6 5/16" wide plank delivers the real look of a wood flooring plank. This single plank look removes any thought of a 2- or 3-piece, within one plank, plastic laminate wood floor.
