About Faux Wood

If you have never heard of these wood planks before they are made from polyurethane foam, but they give you the same look and feel as regular wood floors.

There are two different kinds of gap types. This is the space between two pieces of wood and how they connect together. The first gap is known as the V-Groove this is the closest the two pieces can get together. When looking at the pieces you will see it makes a “V shape.”

If you like a little space between your two pieces you can choose to go with a Nickle Gap. This means there is going to be some space between the planks. This typically refers to be being “a Nickle width apart” you can choose in fact how close or far apart the planks will be.

Benefits of Faux Wood Planks

Quality Tongue and Groove
