Prestige — 3/8″ Engineered Oak & Maple (Boen Hardwood Flooring)

Prestige is Boen’s thinnest collection in this catalog — a compact 2-3/4″ strip built on a 2-layer engineered construction (rather than the 3-layer core used elsewhere in the Boen line) at just 3/8″ total thickness, with a 3.5mm real wood veneer in oak or Canadian maple. Two colors are available, sealed under a low-sheen Live Matt finish. Backed by a 25-Year Residential Warranty and FSC, Nordic Swan Ecolabel, and eco-INSTITUT certification, it’s available to order through our Santa Clara showroom.

Colors in the Prestige

Prestige keeps it simple: one warm-blonde Canadian maple color and one light-brown oak color, both real-wood veneers sealed under the same low-sheen Live Matt finish. It’s a two-color line built for a specific compact-strip look rather than a wide palette.

Best uses for Prestige

• A traditional narrow-strip look — the 2-3/4″ width and thin 3/8″ profile suit a more classic parquet-strip aesthetic than Boen’s wider plank collections.
• Transitions or smaller rooms — a thinner overall build can help where floor-height clearance against an adjoining surface is tight; confirm the actual height difference for your project.
• Rooms with underfloor radiant heat — approved for radiant use per Boen’s install requirements; the Canadian maple color is one of the species Boen flags as more sensitive to underfloor heating, so confirm before installing that option over radiant.
• Buyers who’ve decided on a warm, real-wood look — with only two colors, Prestige suits someone set on the format more than someone still comparing many shades.

Choosing a color from the Prestige

The Canadian maple color reads warmer and brighter; the oak color sits a shade deeper in light brown. With only two options, the choice comes down mostly to species preference and how the color reads against your cabinetry or trim — see both in person at our Santa Clara showroom before deciding.

Frequently asked questions about the Prestige

Is Prestige waterproof?

No — it’s water-resistant, not waterproof, like every real-wood engineered floor in the Boen line.

Can I install this myself?

Prestige is glue-down only, which most owners hire a professional installer for. Acclimate the flooring for 48 hours and confirm the room is heated and dry (30–60% RH, minimum 59°F) before installation.

Why is Prestige thinner than other Boen collections?

Prestige uses a 2-layer engineered construction rather than the 3-layer core in Boen’s other collections, giving it a thinner 3/8″ total profile — a genuine construction difference, not a lower-grade build.

How many cartons cover my room?

Each carton covers 28.3 sq ft. Our showroom team can help you work out the right order quantity for your room.

Can I get a sample before I order?

Yes — our Santa Clara showroom carries physical samples of both Prestige colors so you can compare the maple and oak options in person.
