# Solid features

The beauty of a single, solid board. Tarkett offers pre-finished traditional solid strip and plank for most rooms that are on or above grade. Installing pre-finished flooring offers all of the beauty of a traditional sand-and-finish floor in less time without the mess.

- Eased-edge designs minimize minor sub-floor irregularities; square edged product rivals sand-and-finish floors
- Very easy to maintain; just vacuum or dust mop
- Precise tongue-and-groove system ensures tight installation, minimizing gaps and cracks
- Alumide enhanced aluminum oxide finish stands up to active lifestyles
- Nail down installation, on and above grade only
