Autumn Trail

Beneath the stunningly realistic wood look and texture is a laminate built to endure life in the most demanding households

With a sandblasted finish that artfully mimics the natural beauty and character of weathered wood, Autumn Trail offers such a compelling substitute for genuine hardwood that you’ll find it hard to believe it's not the real thing. This convincing resemblance is achieved with a variety of innovative techniques. First is the Embossed in Register surface construction, a process that precisely aligns grain texture with grain pattern on every plank, so each plank of Autumn Trail feels as much like real wood as it looks. Every plank is also crafted with pressed bevel edges, which extends the wood realism through the edge of the laminate. Lastly, Autumn Trail features double the plank variation as typical laminate flooring, meaning you’ll see fewer repeated grain patterns, giving every floor a unique character typically only achieved with genuine hardwood. But it’s what you can’t see that makes Autumn Trail even more impressive, because this isn’t just another pretty wood-look flooring product. Autumn Trail is built to stand up to some of the most demanding conditions that floors will see—that means the busiest of homes, and even commercial applications. Its robust aluminum oxide top layer carries an AC5 wear rating, which designates the highest level of resistance to scratches, scuffs, and dents. Plus, it’s fully waterproof^⁂, making it suitable for installation in any area of the home, even rooms that see regular exposure to spills or moisture. Part of Empire’s exclusive Everwood™ collection, Autumn Trail’s combination of high-end aesthetics and impressive durability makes it an excellent choice for the most demanding applications.
