Key Difference
In addition to retaining its beauty, Enhance Basics is actually more affordable than wood after just one cleaning.

Key Difference
Enhance Naturals looks like wood but acts nothing like it. As wood rots, warps and attracts pests, Enhance retains its vibrancy for 25 years.

Key Difference
Well... everything! There's really no comparison between an untreated material that requires costly and timely maintenance each year and the premium performance of Transcend.

Key Difference
With cost differences being marginal and performance being identical, this decision comes down to appearance - so, do you prefer monochromatic boards (i.e., Basics) or streaked (i.e., Naturals)?

Key Difference
Choosing between Enhance and Transcend comes down to your budget. With Transcend's higher cost comes superior scratch resistance and a wider range of colors.
