Oyster Shell is a rigid core engineered light bamboo flooring (SPC core) with beige coastal tones and subtle distressing. Unlike traditional engineered wood floors that contain an HDF or wood-ply core, this flooring contains a rigid core composed mainly of limestone that allows for superior stability and moisture-resistance. In addition, you'll get sound insulation, cushioning, and vapor barrier without needing to purchase separate underlayment, as acoustical underlayment comes pre-attached to the underside of this beige bamboo flooring.
This rigid core engineered light bamboo flooring is extremely water-resistant which makes it an ideal flooring choice for any room including bathrooms, kitchens, mudrooms, and entryways. If you're a fan of our Tahoe Handscraped floors, Oyster Shell is extremely similar in color, tone, and surface style (distressing). The difference? Oyster Shell has a rigid core that doesn't expand and contract like normal hardwood flooring, an added vapor barrier/underlayment, and comes in click-lock construction to make installation fast and easy!

FloorScore® Certification means that a flooring product is independently certified by SCS to comply with the volatile organic compound emissions criteria of the California Section 01350 Program. Any product that has met these stringent standards is a product that will contribute to good indoor air quality. The FloorScore® certification means healthier, cleaner air.
This floor is extremely hard and dent-resistant, and holds up great against dogs and other pets when it comes to long term wear. It will stand up to your kids too!
This floor can be installed in below-grade or basement applications. All of our floors go through a careful moisture-balancing process that increases dimensional stability.
This floor not only contains practically zero VOC's and is safe for your family, it also stands up to the punishment that your little (and big) ones are going to dish out. If you're looking for a woodfloor that can be sprung on by your offspring, your search has ended.
We are all guilty especially when it comes to dropping clangy pots and pans in the kitchen. This floor will hold up much better than any other woodfloor in a kitchen. It's not completely water-proof (not much is) but if reasonably cared for it is one of the most water-resistant wood floors on the market.
This floor has high dimensional stability which means it can be installed over radiant heat systems, as long as the radiant heat instructions in our installation guide are followed.
At Ambient we offer customers in the U.S. and Canada a 30-day money back guarantee on all flooring orders and we are dedicated to your complete satisfaction. Please read the complete program details here.
