Add the deep, rich finish of our Normandy Original engineered hardwood panels to your interior. This rendering of French Oak is distinctively elegant with colors that are warm and intense. Gorgeous natural woodgrain markings lend texture, contrast, and interest to any room. Normandy stands out when complemented by lighter-hued décor and furnishings or patterns with bright, bold accents of color. Normandy draws the eye to its rustic style and works great as an accent wall, wainscoting, or framing a fireplace. Browse through the photo gallery of installed Normandy projects to find inspiration on how you might use this easy-to-install wood panel to add a classic European touch to your home.
Pre-Glued Factory Applied Adhesive:
- VacuuBond® is a patented installation method for all hard surface floors and wallcoverings.
- The impact of this innovative method on the flooring industry could be as significant as the previous developments of UV finishes, imitations of hardwood flooring like laminate, LVT, WPC, and the click profile.
- VacuuBond® Adhesive is specially formulated for the VacuuBond® installation method
Factory-applied adhesive is applied in groups of parallel strings, with air spaces between each string of adhesive. When pressure is applied by walking on the floor (or J-roller for wall installs) the air between the glue strings is forced out, and a soft (suction) is created when the pressure is relieved.
