## About Ocala

Ocala is an engineered maple hardwood made with maple. The planks are 5 inches wide, 3/8 inch thick, and come in random lengths up to 58.5 inches, with a 1.2 mm veneer and pillowed edge.

Ocala is part of Shaw Floors' Repel collection and is made in the United States. Shaw says REPEL technology adds water resistance for everyday spills, and Shaw says the floor uses genuine wood veneers with a water-resistant finish.

## Who it suits

- Living rooms, dining rooms, and bedrooms that call for real wood
- Households that want maple in a 5-inch plank
- Basement family rooms needing a below-grade approved hardwood
- Rooms with radiant heat
- Busy kitchen and dining areas where everyday spills happen

## Design notes

Ocala has a 5-inch plank width, random lengths up to 58.5 inches, and a pillowed edge that softens each board line. The color range includes Bayfront, Burnside, Crescent Beach, Maple Natural, Oceanside, and Surfside. Bayfront is a smooth-surface color with moderate variation and a 40% gloss level.

## Living with it

For day-to-day expectations, think water-resistant hardwood. Shaw says REPEL helps with everyday spills. Ocala is usually nailed or stapled, with glue-down also available. It may be installed above grade, on grade, or below grade, and radiant heat installation is allowed.

## The warranty, in plain terms

Shaw includes a limited lifetime residential Repel Hardwood warranty for Ocala. In plain terms, it is the residential warranty tied to the Repel hardwood floor; coverage details, limits, exclusions, and claim rules are governed by Shaw's warranty document.

## Questions

### How should I think about spills with Ocala?

Ocala is hardwood. Shaw says its REPEL technology adds water resistance for everyday spills, so it gives you a more practical hardwood option for rooms where small household spills are part of daily life.

### Can Ocala be installed in a basement?

Yes. Ocala is listed for above-grade, on-grade, and below-grade installation. That gives it more placement flexibility than many traditional hardwood choices, including finished lower-level rooms where an approved engineered hardwood is needed.

### How is Ocala usually installed?

As a hardwood floor, Ocala is commonly handled as a nail-down or staple-down installation. Glue-down is also a listed method. Floating is listed for the product, but hardwood installations are usually discussed first around nail, staple, or glue methods.

### Does Ocala work with radiant heat?

Yes. Radiant heat installation is allowed for Ocala. That makes it a candidate for rooms where radiant heat is part of the flooring plan, while still keeping the look and feel of engineered maple hardwood.

### What does the plank look like?

Ocala uses 5-inch-wide planks with random lengths up to 58.5 inches. The pillowed edge gives each board a softened outline. Colors include Bayfront, Burnside, Crescent Beach, Maple Natural, Oceanside, and Surfside.
