## About Eloquence 4 3/8"

Eloquence 4 3/8" is engineered oak hardwood from Mullican, made with 3/8-inch thickness and a 2.0 mm wear layer. It is made in the USA and finished with an aluminum oxide finish.

The surface is smooth, with micro-beveled edges and ends that define each plank without a heavy groove. Random lengths reach up to 4 feet, so the finished floor has the mixed-board rhythm people expect from oak hardwood.

## Who it suits

- Living rooms that need real oak with a smooth, clean face.
- Basements where an any-grade engineered hardwood is preferred.
- Bedrooms and hallways with light, neutral color plans.
- Homes that want made-in-the-USA oak hardwood.

## Design notes

Eloquence 4 3/8" keeps the look clean and calm. The color range stays in light, natural tones: Cloudveil, Coastal Pebble, Polar Dawn, Scandi Clay, and Warm Sand. The surface texture is smooth, with micro-beveled edges and ends for a lightly defined plank outline. At 4 3/8 inches wide, the boards read narrower than many wide-plank floors, and the random lengths up to 4 feet help the oak pattern feel varied.

## Living with it

This is hardwood, so keep standing water off it and clean it as an oak hardwood floor. Staple-down installation is listed for Eloquence 4 3/8". The floor can be installed at any grade level, including below-grade spaces like basements, giving it more placement flexibility than many solid hardwood choices.

## The warranty, in plain terms

Mullican includes a 50-year finish warranty for Eloquence 4 3/8". In plain terms, that warranty is about the factory finish, not every condition a floor may face in the home. Mullican’s written warranty document governs the coverage, limits, and requirements.
