Beautiful Collections of Monarch Floors

Monarch Plank offers beautiful high end wood flooring options within their various collections, each with a limited structural and finishes warranty so you can relax and enjoy your beautiful new choice. Take a moment to explore some of the collections Monarch Plank has to offer.

Boulevard: Designed from stunning French Oak, this option is both hand-textured and hand-colored by carefully trained artisans. Named for the Boulevards in Paris, variations in textures, colors, and patterns you won’t find with other lines are standard here.

Domaine: Made from the highest quality European Oak, each option in this line has a UV Oil finish for enhanced beauty. The range of colors within this line comes from smoking the wood and using the latest active stain technologies.

Forte: Available in five different options, this wood choice offers classic timeless selections like Smoked French Oak, Hickory, Walnut, and French Oak. It’s available in both Prime and Rustic Grade and comes with a UV Oil Finish.

La Rue: Like the Boulevard collection, this option utilizes active staining technologies to create a unique layered effect. This line offers wider planks and distinctive textures thanks to machine brushing.

Lago: featuring an ultra low-gloss finish that helps to simplify maintenance, this collection offers timeless Mediterranean appeal. As regal as it is durable, it will help redefine old-world elegance in any space.

Navona: Subtly stunning, the options in this collection create colors that can’t be matched by any other thanks to the use of active stains. The low-maintenance ultra-matte coating looks and feels like an oiled floor but doesn’t require continual care. It’s European styling at its best.

Storia II: Long, wide planks define this line made completely from French oak. The finish in this line is UV-cured oil, and the colors are nothing short of stunning. With a look and feel that is nothing short of luxurious, this is an option that will help evoke the feeling of small-town Italy.

Windsor: Few things could match the elegance of this line which offers a number of different classic colors as well as a low maintenance finish. Perhaps the best value of all of Monarch Plank’s options, this flooring is only available in Rustic Grade and comes with a UV finish.

Monarch Plank Installation Instructions

Only certain Monarch Plank flooring choices can be installed over radiant heat systems, so ensure your installer understands which system you have and that it’s compatible with the brand. All Monarch Plank products can be glued, nailed, or floated over a number of different types of subfloors.

Monarch Plank FAQs

What is Monarch Plank Flooring?

Monarch Plank creates hardwood flooring collections in a range of rich finishes and styles. Their collections typically emphasize quality, durability, and luxury aesthetics.

Are Monarch Plank floors difficult to care for?

Each Monarch Plank line comes with different care instructions thanks to the variety of coatings the brand uses. Waxes, oils, and petroleum-based cleaners should be avoided on Urethane coated floors. Abrasive cleaning implements should never be used on any of their floors. UV oil-coated floors should be frequently cleaned with WOCA natural soap, as it helps extend the time before reoiling will become necessary.

Does Monarch Plank harvest from responsibly managed forests?

All of the company’s raw material comes from verified forestry operations that work to produce sustainable materials for customers. Monarch Plank does not work with countries or operations where irresponsible harvesting is an option. FSC-certified flooring is available in most of their lines. Monarch Plank lines can also help you earn LEED credits.

Do Monarch Plank products meet CARB Phase II standards?

Yes! All of Monarch Plank’s flooring collections are CARB Phase II compliant. Their lumber-core is made with a formaldehyde-free adhesive, and every collection is FloorScore certified.

How is Monarch Plank Flooring different from other flooring types?

Monarch Plank Flooring specifically focuses on hardwood, which inherently sets it apart from other types of flooring such as laminate, vinyl, or tile. Moreover, the brand emphasizes luxury and high-end finishes, ensuring their products are of top-tier quality in the hardwood market.

What are the benefits of Monarch Plank Flooring?

– Durability: Hardwood floors, when properly maintained, are known for their long lifespan.
– Aesthetic Appeal: Their luxury finishes can enhance the look of any interior space.
– Value: Hardwood floors can add value to a property.
– Variety: Monarch Plank offers a range of finishes and styles to suit different preferences.

How long does Monarch Plank Flooring last?

With proper care and maintenance, high-quality hardwood flooring like that from Monarch Plank can last for decades. In some cases, hardwood floors have been known to last over a century. The exact lifespan can vary based on factors like wear and tear, maintenance, environmental conditions, and specific product choice.

Can Monarch Plank Flooring be used in commercial areas?

While Monarch Plank Flooring is often used in residential settings, it can also be suitable for commercial areas, especially those that require an upscale, elegant look. However, for high-traffic commercial areas, it’s essential to select a hardwood with appropriate finish and durability to withstand the wear.

How do you maintain and clean Monarch Plank Flooring?

– Regular Sweeping: Regularly sweep or vacuum (without using the beater bar) to remove dirt and debris.
– Avoid Moisture: Wipe up spills immediately, and never use wet mops or steam cleaners on the floor.
– Protect the Floor: Use protective pads under furniture legs to prevent scratches.
– Refinishing: Depending on the wear, hardwood floors might need refinishing every few years.
– Cleaners: Use cleaners specifically designed for hardwood floors, and avoid any harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.

Are there any environmental benefits to choosing Monarch Plank Flooring?

Many high-end hardwood flooring brands, including Monarch Plank, source their wood responsibly. This might mean they ensure the wood comes from sustainably managed forests or that they engage in practices that minimize environmental impact. Some benefits might include:

• Sustainable Forestry: Ensuring wood is harvested in a way that doesn’t deplete forests or harm ecosystems.
• Natural Material: Hardwood is a natural material that doesn’t emit harmful chemicals or pollutants.
• Durability: Because hardwood can last for so long, it may reduce the need for frequent replacements, leading to less waste over time.
