"High Traffic? Have kids? Have Pets? Masterpiece collection is the ideal floor for homes with a busy lifestyle.
It's one strip, beveled edge planks really give it the appearance of an authentic hardwood floor, but also provides piece of mind knowing that at there are less risks with denting, dinging and scratching! Many attractive patterns and color tones, that all look very real once they are down, to me the mellow grain and color tones in the Cedar are aesthetically pleasing that's the main reason its my choice. Take a look there is a color or pattern for every one, even you!"
