A smart choice, the Imperial Pecan Barley Hardwood will give definition to your space with its top value and durability. Andersons engineered hardwood combined with an authentic wood veneer gives you the best of both worlds. With better quality and moisture resistance than solid wood, it is resistant to warping and cupping despite changing temperatures and humidity. The grain patterns and lines around the Barley planks have different styles on warm tones of wood. With varying lengths of planks up to 82.67 inches, you can freely customize the design of your floors by changing its flow and combination of sizes. The Imperial Pecan hardwood comes in 7.5 inches wide planks with an overall thickness of 12 mm. The top layer of the Imperial Pecan is made of a 1.2 mm veneer sourced from real pecan wood species. The layered construction of these planks are made of sustainable materials with a tough plywood core. Anderson prides itself in creating sustainable and eco-friendly products. It is tested and approved to comply with the GreenGuard Gold certification, providing your home with clean air before, during, and after installation of the hardwood. You can place these planks above, on, or below installation grade. Perfect for bedrooms and living rooms with radiant heating systems, these floors are not only stylish but convenient. The hardwood will conduct heat with an even distribution, making a room both looking and feeling cozy and warm.
When choosing the Imperial Pecan a distinguishing feature it has is a smooth surface texture. MAde perfectly smooth with a flat surface and an even thickness, these planks are sanded representing a traditional look. To protect the pecan wood from scratches, dents, and fading, the Barley planks are treated with a durable UV coating. An aluminum oxide finish mixed with UV inhibitors is spread evenly on the surface and cured under ultraviolet light to create a hard scratch resistant surface. Protecting the smooth surface of the Imperial Pecan Barley, the UV aluminum oxide finish ensures that your floors remain beautiful for years to come.
Another important consideration is the installation method of these hardwood floors. When installing a smooth surfaced plank, the subflooring can hugely impact the overall look of your floors. To display a polished uniformed look, the Imperial Pecan wood floors should be installed with precision on an even subfloor. Fortunately, the micro bevels along the side of the planks, can provide a forgiving margin for small imperfections after installation. A micro beveled edge also provides a distinct edge that creates a three dimensional detail for each plank. This prevents creating a flat continuous surface on your floors, offering both practical and aesthetic benefits.
Installing the Imperial Pecan Barley Hardwood is made easier with its great adaptability. Whether you decide to nail, staple, glue, or float your planks, the Imperial Pecans engineered construction can adapt to any subfloor. Depending on a variety of factors, each installation method will have its own pros and cons. Nailing down floorboards is the most common method, especially for solid flooring. For a more convenient yet similar method, stapling down the planks also provides a secure hold, yet nailing them down provides a better hold on the floors. Gluing them down is the way to go for permanent installations and if you plan to hire a professional to install your planks. The glue down method is also perfect for floors with radiant heat systems underneath the subfloors. Matching the cozy warm ambience of hardwood floors, Anderson Hardwood will distribute heat uniformly on your floors. Lastly, floating hardwood by interlocking them together, without the need of attaching the planks on the subflooring, is the easiest way to install the Imperial Pecan floors.
