Hickory Flooring
Underside relief grooves and other design details of our tongue and groove permit normal movement and reduce squeaking in the finished floor. Sticking to strict tolerances in milling results in a precise fit on sides and ends of our planks. Our bundles contain long average lengths, creating a rich look of continuity in the finished floor.
Hickory is an extremely hard flooring material, although less moisture stable than the oaks.
In our Mesa grade, Hickory will contain color variation, knots up to 2” in diameter, including open knots, holes up to ¾” in diameter, cracks which don’t compromise the integrity of the flooring, along with other character marks. We do allow edge defect and small, infrequent traces of grey stain. Mesa grade Hickory results in a floor with lots of character and contrast. Lengths of planks vary from 1’ to 10’, with an approximate average of about 5’.
In our Casa grade, Hickory will contain color variation and knots up to 1-1/2” in diameter, along with other occasional character marks. Small open holes up to ¼” in diameter are also allowed. We do not allow any edge defect. The grey stain often associated with Hickory is also not allowed in this grade. Casa grade Hickory results in a floor with beautiful contrasting tones and sound defect requiring very little fill. Lengths of planks vary from 1’ to 10’, with an average of about 5’.
Hacienda, our Select grade, has less extreme variations in color than Casa grade. It is almost free from knots, with only occasional small pin knots (up to 1/16” in diameter) allowed. Grey stain is not allowed in Hacienda Hickory. Lengths of planks vary from 1’ to 10’, with the average of 5’. This creates a floor with a refined look with more consistent color and long length.

Hardwood Flooring are beautiful when created with pride. There is much that goes into hardwood floors that may go overlooked. The difference between a pro and a side jobber is like night and day. Pay for the professional and you will have very long lasting eye catching floors
