Realistic Aesthetic Appeal
Shaw Floors Impatto Luxury Vinyl Plank Flooring in Modeled Oak gives you the most realistic aesthetic appeal. It features an aesthetic appeal so realistic, it’s almost indistinguishable from natural hardwood. The realistic wood grain texture is rich and complex, replicating the natural beauty you’d find in actual red oak.
Visual aesthetic appeal is not the only consideration either. The texture is very important, it’s what gives it the authentic feel, what makes it look and feel like the real deal. When you walk on it, you’ll find that the embossed finish gives the stone a little added depth that makes the whole thing pop.
Whether installed in a living room or hallway, the flooring instantly adds a classic and earthy aesthetic. We think the sterling grey color is a brilliant choice for maximizing versatility. It works beautifully with various interior designs, from contemporary spaces with clean lines to more transitional styles blending traditional and modern elements.
Rather than acting as the main star in a room, this cool, neutral shade will complement and enhance the entire space. Imagine it against soft cream colored walls or with darker wood furniture—it just finds that balance perfectly, without competing.
From my own testing, the aesthetic appeal’s realism has been the most impressive. It lends a modern aesthetic appeal to any space but can easily be integrated into both modern and traditional settings. The color versatility is an aesthetic lifesaver, too, easily complementing a new furniture purchase or seasonal decor switcheroo.

Maintenance and Care Tips
That’s why maintaining Shaw Floors Impatto Luxury Vinyl Plank Flooring is easy and doesn’t require a lot of time or energy. A quick sweep is all it takes to remove dust and dirt. This prevents scratches or a buildup from occurring. A soft-bristle broom does the trick or alternatively, you can use a vacuum cleaner made for hard floors.
For regular maintenance, dry sweeping and damp mopping once in a while with a pH neutral cleaner is all the cleaning it needs. Beyond that, it’s an achievable habit to incorporate into a hectic lifestyle with little added effort.
To protect the finish, staying clear of strong chemicals is essential. Abbrasive cleaners will dull the surface finish with time. This is fine if you don’t mind your flooring taking on a dingy, worn wood look. Using only mild, non-abrasive cleaners helps maintain the appearance of the planks and increases their longevity.
Another cunning tip of the trade—use felt pads on the bottoms of furniture legs. Though a bit more permanent, heavy furniture moved frequently can leave impressions or scuffing. Felt pads provide an easy barrier and are an inexpensive solution to protect your investment.
In my experience, I’ve found the flooring’s low maintenance to be a tremendous asset. It is very easy to keep the planks clean. Follow these maintenance tips to keep them looking fresh and new for years to come!

This approach is ideal for any space, whether you’re reimagining a living room or reinventing a home office. It’s a straightforward option for DIYers who might not be used to other intricate flooring installs.
Very few tools necessary. The barrier for entry is a low one for anyone who might be interested in tackling an installation like this. Basic tools like a tape measure, utility knife, and a straight edge are often enough to get the job done.
A fine-tooth saw or a laminate cutter will help cut planks to fit against edges, corners, or custom layouts with greater ease. Implement these tools for a quicker and more accurate cutting operation. That ease of installation allows you to spend less time looking for tools and more time installing.
Planning ahead and purchasing additional flooring—roughly 10%—is strongly encouraged. This guarantees you have sufficient material to make up for cuts, a pattern, or any unforeseen waste. For instance, if your room is 150 square feet, buying just under 165 square feet allows a healthy margin of error.
