Engineered Hardwood for Lowcountry Homes

There’s a warmth to hardwood that’s hard to replicate, and in a community like Goose Creek, where homes range from established 1980s brick colonials in Crowfield to Charleston Single-style designs in Liberty Hall, engineered hardwood brings character that fits the setting.

The Country Oaks collection offers a traditional look with finishes like Brownstone, Toasted Almond, and Sandy Bluff, featuring wire-brushed textures and an anti-scratch urethane finish backed by a 25-year warranty.

For a cleaner, more contemporary feel, the City of Oaks collection delivers a refined aesthetic. This collection has a narrower plank than the Country Oaks collection, while offering a wire-brushed texture.

Engineered hardwood’s layered build provides better dimensional stability than solid hardwood when temperatures and humidity levels shift, which matters in the Lowcountry where seasonal swings are part of life for renters and homeowners.
