High character defines this floor completely. Coat Of Arms sits at a deep, dramatic tone, dark enough that lighter streaks of sapwood cut through it sharply rather than blending in. Hickory can run pale near one edge of a board and go almost black by the other end, a swing no gentler domestic species would allow. Shaw draws a wire brush over this Castlewood Hickory engineered hardwood at 10% gloss, exposing enough grain texture that light reads unevenly across a color this dark instead of pooling into one flat shine, and genuine knots and mineral-toned streaking show up with real regularity, keeping the floor from ever settling into one uniform look.
Coat Of Arms brings enough drama to anchor an apartment living space finished with terracotta-washed cabinetry, a charcoal matte wall, and blackened steel hardware, while a soapstone counter nearby keeps the palette from tipping too dark on its own. This 9/16 inch floor carries Shaw's approval for on-grade, above-grade, or below-grade installation, covering a below-grade apartment unit or a basement conversion just as well, with no need to step down to a thinner product for that one space. That clearance matters more in multi-level or below-grade apartment buildings than in most of the rest of the catalog.
