What subfloor prep does this flooring need?

Floors install best over a clean, flat, dry subfloor: most click-lock planks float over existing hard surfaces with an underlayment, while glue-down and nail-down need a sound substrate. Let the product acclimate in the room first, and check the spec above for the exact requirement.

Can it go in kitchens, baths, or below grade?

Waterproof rigid-core and luxury vinyl handle kitchens, baths, and basements well, while engineered wood and laminate are more moisture-sensitive. Confirm the wet-area and below-grade rating in the specs before ordering.

How much extra should I order for waste?

Add about 7 to 10 percent over your square footage for cuts and mistakes, and more for diagonal or herringbone layouts. Keeping one extra box as attic stock means you always have a color-matched repair on hand.

Will the planks match between boxes?

We pull from the same production run where possible, so order your full quantity at once and keep the boxes together. Mixing planks from several boxes as you install also blends any natural shade variation evenly.

Overview

About this product

Gardenia Lake brings oak character to laminated wood construction. Fine knots, natural grain movement, and warm tonal range across five colors give each plank a grounded, unhurried quality. The embossed-in-register surface traces the grain faithfully, while the milled bevel edge adds clean definition at every joint.

At 7.5 inches wide and 10 mm thick, the planks work on, above, or below grade. The collection suits open living areas and quieter rooms equally, where the warm hues settle into the space without demanding attention.

Common Questions

Ordering & Support

Is this suitable for my application?+

Each product lists its wear layer, finish, and use ratings in the Specifications above, so you can match it to residential, commercial, or wet-area use. If you are not sure it fits your project, our specialists will review the details and confirm the right product before you order.

What is the lead time?+

Most in-stock orders are processed within 1-3 business days, then ship by ground or LTL freight depending on size and weight. Transit time varies by destination, and any made-to-order item shows its expected production window at checkout.

Do you price-match the trade?+

Yes. Builders, designers, and developers unlock trade pricing through our Developer Program. Apply once and your account receives member pricing across categories, plus dedicated support for large-volume orders.

How do I make sure the color matches?+

Screens and lighting vary, so our specialists will confirm the exact color, finish, and texture details with you before you commit. For larger orders we pull from the same dye lot where possible, and a small overage helps keep everything consistent.

What if my freight arrives damaged?+

Inspect your shipment on arrival. If anything is damaged, photograph it before unloading, note it with the LTL driver on the delivery receipt, and report it to us the same day, so we can file the carrier claim and ship free replacements.
