Hickory Wood

Hickory Wood Flooring

Hickory wood flooring is known for its strength, bold grain patterns, and natural color variation. It brings character and durability to living rooms, bedrooms, hallways, and high-traffic spaces, making it one of the most trusted hardwood choices for busy homes. With shades ranging from warm blonde to deep brown, hickory adds a rich, textured look that pairs well with both modern and rustic interiors.

Why Homeowners Choose Hickory

Hickory is one of the hardest domestic hardwoods, giving it exceptional resistance to dents, scratches, and daily wear. Its natural density makes it ideal for active households with kids, pets, and frequent foot traffic.

Available in solid hickory and engineered hickory planks, it adapts well to multiple installation needs. Engineered hickory is especially suitable for multi-level homes or climate-controlled basements.
