Trim Glue-Down Planks for Rooms in Regular Use

Katavia is the compact-format member of MSI's glue-down group. A 6 by 48 inch plank keeps its proportions right in bedrooms, offices, and condos, where a 9 inch board can make a small room read smaller.

All 8 colors share a 2mm dryback build, a 6 mil CrystaLux wear layer, and a 100% waterproof construction rated for radiant heat. Bonded with full-spread adhesive, the floor sits flat and quiet, with no acclimation period between delivery and installation.

The palette leans practical. Bleached Elm and Twilight Oak handle soft neutral schemes, Elmwood Ash and Woodrift Gray cover the grays, Lime Washed Oak and Reclaimed Oak bring rustic character, and Burnished Acacia and Charcoal Oak supply the depth. Several of these colors also appear in Glenridge and Wilmont, so the same look can move up a wear tier if a room needs it.

Match the wear layer to the room rather than the house. Six mil suits bedrooms, offices, and turnovers well; for an entry, a working kitchen, or a hallway that takes the whole household, Glenridge at 12 mil or Wilmont at 20 mil is the better fit for the same visual.

Gray · Katavia

Elmwood Ash

Cool silvered gray that keeps rooms bright.

MSI Everlife Katavia Elmwood Ash - Gray flooring
6 mil wear layer · 6" x 48" · Glue-Down DryBack

Elmwood Ash reads clean and cool, which pairs naturally with white tile, chrome, and the kind of finishes that end up in bathrooms and laundry rooms. The whitewashed brushing keeps the surface from looking painted, and the even movement means the floor stays quiet across a small footprint. It is the Katavia color to pick when the palette is already gray and needs to stay that way.

Pairs Well With

Crisp white trim, pale blue walls, chrome fixtures, white oak furniture, airy sheer curtains.

Best For

Coastal bedrooms, bright bathrooms with proper prep, laundry rooms, calm minimalist retreats, gray-scheme renovations.

Gray · Katavia

Twilight Oak

Pale greige with a quiet, dusky cast.

MSI Everlife Katavia Twilight Oak - Gray flooring
6 mil wear layer · 6" x 48" · Glue-Down DryBack

Twilight Oak reads gray in cool light and greige in warm light, which is what lets it work in a bedroom that changes character between morning and evening. The grain stays soft and even, so nothing about the floor pulls focus from bedding, curtains, or artwork. It is the calmest of the Katavia grays and the easiest to live with over years.

Pairs Well With

White or pale gray walls, brushed nickel fixtures, light upholstery, blonde wood accents, misty blue textiles.

Best For

Serene bedrooms, reading corners, compact condos, gray-neutral refreshes, soft modern interiors.

Gray · Katavia

Woodrift Gray

Strong plank-to-plank variation with coastal cool.

MSI Everlife Katavia Woodrift Gray - Gray flooring
6 mil wear layer · 6" x 48" · Glue-Down DryBack

Woodrift Gray mixes pale silver and deep slate across the floor, and that range is doing real work in a hallway or a rental: variation this wide keeps scuffs, grit, and everyday marks from registering. It reads coastal rather than industrial, which suits pale walls and painted trim. Lay a full room of it and the effect is more textured than a single-tone gray.

Pairs Well With

Bright white walls, navy accents, matte black hardware, weathered wood furniture, nautical textiles.

Best For

Coastal-modern living rooms, busy family hallways, rental properties, gray-palette renovations, casual beach-inspired spaces.

Shop Woodrift Gray →

Tan · Katavia

Bleached Elm

A soft neutral that gets out of the way.

MSI Everlife Katavia Bleached Elm - Tan flooring
6 mil wear layer · 6" x 48" · Glue-Down DryBack

Bleached Elm sits almost exactly between warm and cool, which is what makes it useful when the walls, cabinets, and furniture in a room have not all been chosen yet. The grain stays smooth and low-contrast, so the floor holds together visually even in a small room where a busy plank would take over. Six-inch widths suit compact bedrooms and offices better than a wide plank does.

Pairs Well With

Warm white walls, light painted cabinetry, brushed nickel hardware, cream bedding, simple woven rugs.

Best For

Guest bedrooms, rental turnovers, quiet home offices, quick room refreshes, soft neutral interiors.

Shop Bleached Elm →

Brown · Katavia

Burnished Acacia

Deep and saturated, for rooms that want to feel enclosed.

MSI Everlife Katavia Burnished Acacia - Brown flooring
6 mil wear layer · 6" x 48" · Glue-Down DryBack

Burnished Acacia works the opposite way from a pale floor: it draws a room inward and makes the walls feel closer, which is the effect you want in a den or a dining room used mostly after dark. The swirling figure keeps that depth from reading as a flat block of brown. Give it warm lighting rather than cool, and the red in the tone comes forward.

Pairs Well With

Cream or gold-toned walls, bronze hardware, leather furniture, jewel-toned accents, warm ambient lighting.

Best For

Cozy dens, statement dining rooms, warm traditional remodels, basement upgrades, rich saturated palettes.

Shop Burnished Acacia →

Brown · Katavia

Charcoal Oak

Smoky and textural, with contrast that carries a room.

MSI Everlife Katavia Charcoal Oak - Brown flooring
6 mil wear layer · 6" x 48" · Glue-Down DryBack

The pale weathered highlights against the darker ground give Charcoal Oak more contrast than anything else in the Katavia lineup, so it holds its own in a room with concrete, steel, or black window frames. That same contrast keeps dust and lint from standing out the way they do on a plain dark floor. It suits a hallway or an entry where the floor is seen in motion rather than studied.

Pairs Well With

White or light gray walls, black metal fixtures, exposed brick, concrete finishes, warm wood furniture for contrast.

Best For

Industrial-style spaces, finished basements, entry hallways, masculine home offices, high-contrast modern rooms.

Shop Charcoal Oak →

Brown · Katavia

Lime Washed Oak

Sun-faded warmth with knots that earn their place.

MSI Everlife Katavia Lime Washed Oak - Brown flooring
6 mil wear layer · 6" x 48" · Glue-Down DryBack

The gray patina over a sandy base gives Lime Washed Oak a two-tone quality that suits rooms with a lot of natural light, where a single flat color can look washed out by midday. Knots and weathering keep sand, crumbs, and beach-house traffic from showing. It sits easily with painted furniture, wicker, and unbleached linen.

Pairs Well With

Whitewashed paneling, soft green or blue walls, rattan and wicker pieces, galvanized accents, striped cotton textiles.

Best For

Beach cottages, casual family rooms, farmhouse-style kitchens, vacation rentals, laid-back rustic interiors.

Brown · Katavia

Reclaimed Oak

Saw marks and warmth for a room that gets lived in.

MSI Everlife Katavia Reclaimed Oak - Brown flooring
6 mil wear layer · 6" x 48" · Glue-Down DryBack

The visible saw texture is what makes Reclaimed Oak forgiving: it breaks up the surface so daily wear and tracked-in dirt read as part of the floor rather than damage to it. The mid-brown tone is warm enough for a farmhouse dining room and neutral enough not to lock the rest of the palette in. Six-inch planks keep the texture in proportion in an average-sized room.

Pairs Well With

Cream walls, oil-rubbed bronze hardware, vintage furniture, plaid and canvas textiles, iron light fixtures.

Best For

Farmhouse living rooms, casual dining spaces, rec rooms, rustic rental properties, warm heritage-style remodels.

Katavia FAQ

The questions homeowners and designers ask when comparing the Katavia colors and specifications.

What is MSI Everlife Katavia?

Katavia is the compact-format member of MSI's glue-down group. All 8 active colors are 2mm dryback planks measuring 6 inches by 48 inches, with a 6 mil CrystaLux wear layer, bonded to the subfloor with full-spread adhesive.

Is MSI Everlife Katavia waterproof?

Yes, the plank is 100% waterproof. Since it is glued directly down, the substrate needs to be clean, dry, and properly prepared, and standing water should be cleaned up rather than left to sit along the seams.

What is the wear layer on Katavia?

Katavia carries a 6 mil CrystaLux wear layer above the printed design. That suits bedrooms, offices, guest rooms, and rental turnovers well. Several Katavia colors also appear in Glenridge at 12 mil and Wilmont at 20 mil, so the same look can move up a tier when a room needs more.

What size are Katavia planks?

Every Katavia color is 6 inches by 48 inches, at 36 square feet per box. The trimmer width is the reason to choose it over the extra-wide Nove format in bedrooms, offices, and condos.

How is Katavia installed?

Katavia is a full-spread glue-down dryback plank with no acclimation period. Flatten, clean, and dry the subfloor first, because a glued floor shows whatever is left underneath it. The 2mm profile usually clears existing door casings without trimming.

Is Katavia a good choice for pets and busy homes?

For bedrooms, offices, and turnovers, yes, and Woodrift Gray, Lime Washed Oak, and Reclaimed Oak carry enough variation to hide daily marks. For an entry, a working kitchen, or a main hallway, the same visuals in Glenridge or Wilmont give the surface more headroom.

Which Katavia color is best for a bright room?

Twilight Oak and Elmwood Ash are the palest, both cool-leaning. Bleached Elm sits slightly warmer and suits a room where cool gray would feel stark. Compare samples in the room's own light before choosing.

How do I choose between the Katavia colors?

Bleached Elm and Twilight Oak are the most neutral and the easiest to pair with existing furniture. Elmwood Ash and Woodrift Gray cover gray schemes. Lime Washed Oak and Reclaimed Oak add rustic character. Burnished Acacia and Charcoal Oak take the room deeper. View samples in place before ordering.
