Plantation Plank
Plantation Plank is BLC’s signature product. This floor gives you a look like no other with its long lengths and multitude of wood characteristics. All of the naturally occurring wood characteristics found in our other three products can be present in Plantation Plank. However, this product will be free of any machining or drying characteristics such as burns or stains. Average length of this product will be longer than any of the others at approximately 4 to 5 feet. This product comes with a 25 year finish warranty.
Estate
Estate provides you the look and feel of uninterrupted elegance. It can be compared to a high-end select & better unfinished product. The appearance of this product will have minimal wood characteristics and consistent color throughout the floor. This floor will be free of open or visible checks, sander burns or sticker stain. Small filled holes or tight knots may be present but will not be larger or more prevalent than is seen in a select & better unfinished product. This product will also be free from any finish defects such as puddles or white wood. Average length will be approximately 3 feet or longer. This product comes with a 40 year finish warranty.
Manor
The gentle variations of the wood characteristics in Manor provide warmth in any room of your house. Characteristics such as small knots, checks, worm holes, sticker stain and mineral streaks will be present. However, none of these characteristics will be excessive in the floor. This product will also have some color variation throughout the floor. Manor with a natural finish will have minimal mineral streaks and color variation. Average length will be approximately 2-1/2 feet or longer. This product comes with a 25 year finish warranty.
Cottage
Cottage is the character product of the Homestead collection. Wood characteristics such as knots, checks, worm holes, sticker stain and mineral streaks will be present and possibly abundant in the floor. Color variation and slight finish defects can also be present in the cottage product. This product comes with a 25 year finish warranty.
*All of the above products can be wire brushed for an “antiqued” appearance.

Finish
All of the Homestead Collection has a stain or sealer coat applied first. A fill application is then applied in order to fill any open grain. Two seal coats and three top coats are applied to finish the process. The total finish applied is 2.5 to 2.8 mils.
Micro bevel
The bevel on 2-1/4” and 3-1/4” starts at 0.040” and is approximately 0.020” after finishing. The bevel on 4” and 5” starts at 0.070” and is approximately 0.050” after finishing.
Gloss
The gloss level on all of the Homestead collection is approximately 50 (on a 0-100 scale). This gloss level is reduced on our antiqued products due to the textured surface.
