Monarch Plank Flooring announced the launch of their New World collection, featuring classic American species in thick, premium quality wide plank prefinished engineered flooring.
Most North American manufacturers offer either ¾” solid flooring or ½” thick engineered flooring, leaving those who want a thicker engineered floor with limited options. The New World Collection fills that need. At 5/8” thick with a 4mm, fully re-sandable top layer, and boasting boards with an industry-leading 5’ average length, the New World collection offers each of the five main domestic flooring species in two different widths and grades. White Oak, Red Oak, Maple, Hickory, and Walnut are each available in a 6" wide Select Grade that is virtually free of knots, and a 7" wide Light Rustic Grade for a touch of character. All New World items are coated with a clear Bona High Durability™ matte urethane finish.
“New World brings traditional American looks into the luxury long length, wide plank category that is popular today,” says Danny Harrington, vice president of marketing & product development. “We believe there are a lot of consumers who like the traditional, natural look of these North American species, but they want a superior quality product more in line with the specifications being offered by European manufacturers. Until now, that’s been hard to find.”
