Compared with its 7x22 sibling, this longer and wider format cuts down the number of end joints across a room, so living areas and open kitchens read more like a run of hardwood. The smooth surface keeps the oak grain crisp, and moderate (V2) shade variation adds board-to-board difference without looking patchy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBest for:\u003c\/strong\u003e Open-plan living rooms, kitchens, dining rooms, long hallways, basements and feature walls.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eColors\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDaybreak 00150:\u003c\/strong\u003e a light oak washed with a subtle pinkish beige, best in sunny rooms.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eParamount 00200:\u003c\/strong\u003e golden natural oak that reads as a timeless hardwood color.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAerial 00250:\u003c\/strong\u003e an amber-honey tone with more saturation, good for warming cool light.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSterling 00500:\u003c\/strong\u003e a muted gray-taupe oak suited to modern neutral schemes.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEternity 00750:\u003c\/strong\u003e a deep cocoa-brown plank that grounds large rooms.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy Choose Method 8x36\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e36\" length means fewer end joints for a hardwood-style floor\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNearly 8\" width for a wider-board appearance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWet DCOF of 0.42 or higher for interior kitchens and baths\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eModerate (V2) shade variation in a smooth finish\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e19.26 sq ft per box at 0.362\" thick\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSame five colors as Method 7x22, so you can coordinate rooms\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhere to Install\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMethod 8x36 is a Floor-type glazed ceramic, approved for interior floors and walls. Long planks show best in larger rooms such as living areas, open kitchens, hallways and finished basements, where the length can run parallel to the longest wall. With no frost rating listed, it is meant for indoor use. Long ceramic planks need a flat substrate, so check the subfloor and use a leveling clip system.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eShould I choose Method 8x36 or Method 7x22?\u003c\/strong\u003e Choose Shaw Method 8x36 for larger, open rooms where fewer joints matter, and the \u003ca href=\"\/products\/shaw-method-ceramic-tile-7x22-425ts\"\u003eMethod 7x22\u003c\/a\u003e for small baths, closets and floors that are less flat; both come in the same five oak colors.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs 8x36 tile hard to install?\u003c\/strong\u003e Shaw Method 8x36 planks are long enough that subfloor flatness matters, so most installers use a leveling system and offset joints by no more than a third of the plank to limit lippage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is the water absorption of Shaw Method 8x36?\u003c\/strong\u003e Shaw lists water absorption for Method 8x36 as greater than 0.50% (Vitreous), and as a glazed ceramic it is intended for interior floors and walls.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhich Method color is best for a modern gray home?\u003c\/strong\u003e Sterling 00500 is the Shaw Method color that fits gray and neutral homes best, since its taupe-gray oak tone sits between warm and cool.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow many boxes of Method 8x36 do I need?\u003c\/strong\u003e Each box of Shaw Method 8x36 covers 19.26 sq ft, so divide your room area plus 10 to 15 percent extra by 19.26 and round up; our minimum order is 250 sq. ft.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eProduct Specs\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStyle:\u003c\/strong\u003e Method 8x36 #526TS\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand:\u003c\/strong\u003e Shaw Floors\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLook:\u003c\/strong\u003e Wood-look plank (oak)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e Glazed Ceramic\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e 7.87\" x 35.44\" (nominal 8\" x 36\")\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThickness:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.362\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish:\u003c\/strong\u003e Smooth\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShade Variation:\u003c\/strong\u003e Moderate (V2)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWater Absorption:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u0026gt; 0.50% (Vitreous)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWet DCOF:\u003c\/strong\u003e ≥ 0.42\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUse:\u003c\/strong\u003e Floors and walls, interior\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSq.
