Allwood Flooring — Engineered Hardwood, Solid White Oak & Bamboo Flooring

Allwood Flooring brings several real-wood and bamboo constructions together in one catalog instead of limiting the brand to a single plank format. Kapriz’s curated Allwood catalog covers 48 products across seven families: 27 engineered hardwood floors, 12 solid White Oak floors, six engineered bamboo floors, and three solid bamboo floors. The engineered lines use 2–4mm real-wood or bamboo wear layers, list glue, nail, staple, or floating installation, and are listed for radiant-heat compatibility; the solid lines use glue, nail, or staple installation and are not listed for radiant heat. Across this 48-product catalog, every floor carries a Lifetime Structural Warranty and a 25-Year Finish Warranty. Order through our Santa Clara showroom, and compare samples under the lighting and permanent finishes planned for your room.

The Allwood collections

What makes Allwood different

• Four construction choices under one brand. The catalog includes engineered hardwood, solid hardwood, engineered bamboo, and solid bamboo, so construction can be chosen around the project instead of forcing every room into one format.
• A wider species range than an oak-only line. European Oak and White Oak make up much of the catalog, but Allwood also includes Hickory, American Walnut, Walnut, Acacia, Bamboo, and Strand Bamboo.
• Clear grade choices. Select, Character, Light Character, and Heavy Character options give buyers a direct way to choose between a calmer field and more visible knots, grain movement, and board-to-board variation.
• Engineered installation flexibility. All 33 engineered hardwood and bamboo products in this catalog list glue, nail, staple, or floating installation and are listed for radiant heat. The actual method still depends on the subfloor, moisture testing, and current installation instructions.
• Solid construction remains distinct. The 12 solid White Oak and three solid bamboo products use glue, nail, or staple installation and are not listed for radiant heat, keeping the difference between engineered and solid products clear.
• Straight-plank and herringbone color continuity. Champagne, Fumé, Tahoe, and Teton can be considered in both straight-plank and herringbone formats, allowing the color direction and the layout geometry to be separate decisions.
• Consistent warranty structure. Every product in this 48-product catalog lists a Lifetime Structural Warranty and a 25-Year Finish Warranty. Every engineered product is also listed as FloorScore certified; the solid products are identified separately rather than being given the same certification claim.

Best uses for Allwood flooring

• Concrete slabs and radiant-heat projects — start with the engineered hardwood or engineered bamboo lines, then confirm the substrate, moisture control, adhesive or floating requirements, and current installation guide.
• Projects that specifically call for solid wood — the Solids family offers 3/4″ prefinished White Oak in two widths, while the Bamboo family also includes three solid-construction options.
• Open living areas — the 7-1/2″ and approximately 8-5/8″ engineered formats create broader visual fields with fewer seams across a large room.
• Smaller rooms or a more traditional plank rhythm — 3-1/2″, approximately 4-3/4″, and 5″ options create a tighter sequence of board lines.
• Pattern-led entries, dining rooms, and feature spaces — the four Herringbone products make the installation geometry a central part of the design.
• Buyers deciding between calm and character — Select-grade products reduce prominent character, while Character, Light Character, and Heavy Character products intentionally allow more natural variation.
• Whole-home material planning — Allwood provides oak, walnut, hickory, acacia, and bamboo options within one brand, but each material should still be judged on its own color, grain, construction, and room conditions.

Choosing the right Allwood floor

Start with construction. Choose engineered hardwood or engineered bamboo when the project benefits from a floating option, radiant-heat compatibility, or an engineered core; choose solid White Oak or solid bamboo when the project specifically calls for solid construction and glue, nail, or staple installation. Next, narrow the family by species, grade, surface, and board scale: Naturals offers the broadest species mix, Smoked and Cerused center on wire-brushed European Oak, Invisible develops the Champagne direction across several widths and grades, Herringbone changes the layout itself, Bamboo separates engineered and solid formats, and Solids keeps the focus on 3/4″ White Oak. Finally, compare the actual sample beside cabinets, stone, paint, and adjacent flooring in both daylight and evening light. Natural wood and bamboo vary, and a small sample cannot show the full range of a completed installation.

Frequently asked questions about Allwood

What types of flooring does Allwood offer?

Kapriz’s curated Allwood catalog includes 27 engineered hardwood products, 12 solid White Oak products, six engineered bamboo products, and three solid bamboo products across seven families.

Is Allwood hardwood or bamboo waterproof?

No. Allwood’s hardwood and bamboo products are real-wood or bamboo floors, not waterproof vinyl or laminate. Wipe spills promptly, control indoor humidity, and follow the installation and care guide for the exact construction.

Which Allwood floors are listed for radiant heat?

All 33 engineered hardwood and engineered bamboo products in this catalog are listed as compatible with radiant heat. The 15 solid hardwood and solid bamboo products are listed as not compatible. Always confirm the current installation guide and system limits before ordering.

Can Allwood engineered flooring be floated?

The engineered products in this 48-product catalog list tongue-and-groove installation by glue, nail, staple, or floating method. The right choice depends on the exact subfloor, moisture test, acoustic requirements, transitions, and manufacturer instructions.

Does Allwood make herringbone flooring?

Yes. Allwood’s Herringbone family includes Champagne, Fumé, Tahoe, and Teton, each built as 4-3/4″ × 23-3/4″ European Oak engineered pieces with a 3mm wear layer.

What warranty comes with Allwood flooring?

Every product in this 48-product catalog lists a Lifetime Structural Warranty and a 25-Year Finish Warranty. Review the current warranty document for coverage conditions, exclusions, installation requirements, and claim procedures.

How should I choose between Select and Character grade?

Select grade generally creates a calmer field with fewer prominent knots and strong character marks. Character, Light Character, and Heavy Character grades allow more natural grain movement, knots, and board-to-board variation. Neither grade makes real wood identical, so compare more than one full plank whenever possible.

Where can I see Allwood flooring samples?

Call or text Kapriz Hardwood Floors at (408) 753-3220 to confirm which Allwood samples are currently available at our Santa Clara showroom. Bring cabinet, stone, paint, or fabric samples so you can compare the floor under real lighting before ordering cartons.
