Expressions is an engineered white oak hardwood from Shaw Floors' The Gallery collection. It has a 4 mm veneer over an engineered construction, with 7-1/2 inch wide planks that are 5/8 inch thick.
The planks come in random lengths from 23.62 inches up to 74.8 inches, giving the floor a mixed-board layout instead of one fixed plank length. A UV aluminum oxide finish is used on the surface. Expressions is made in Vietnam and has a micro-bevel edge profile.

From Shaw Floors's published specifications.
Expressions has extremely high color variation, so the look changes noticeably from plank to plank. The wirebrushed surface adds texture to the white oak, and the micro-bevel edge outlines each 7-1/2 inch board. Color names include Alla Prima, Artistry, Cadence, Freeform, Fresco, Harmony, Lyric, Melody, Mural, Muse, Poetry, Prose, Sonata, and Watercolor.
Expressions is hardwood, so it fits spaces where a real wood floor is the right expectation. It is usually nailed down, with staple or glue installation also available. The floor is suitable for above-, on-, and below-grade installation. Shaw Floors rates Expressions for use with radiant heat systems.
