American Hickory Flooring
American Hickory delivers the most dramatic grain in the Residence Supply hardwood program. Strong board-to-board color variation, pronounced grain movement, and a naturally hard surface make Hickory the ideal choice for interiors that want an expressive, characterful floor with the warmth that only domestic hardwoods provide. Hickory is the natural anchor for rustic, farmhouse, mountain-modern, cabin-style, and transitional homes.
Every Hickory product in the program features genuine American Hickory veneer over a multi-layer engineered core. The construction delivers the authentic appearance and substantial feel of solid Hickory with the dimensional stability required for concrete-slab installation in subtropical climates.
Why American Hickory
Hickory is one of the harder domestic hardwood species, rating higher on the Janka hardness scale than European Oak. The dramatic grain pattern also hides minor wear better than smoother woods, which makes Hickory a strong practical choice for active households and high-traffic interiors. The color variation board-to-board brings energy and warmth to any room — a feature, not a flaw.
Available in Two Collections
- The Westvale Collection — Hickory (2mm veneer). Three patterns: Wetherby, Cotswold, and Cinderfell. 6.25-inch wide planks at 76 inches long.
- The Hudson Collection — Hickory (3mm Light Rustic). Three patterns: Barrowfield, Brackenfield, and Blackmoor. 7.5-inch wide planks for a more substantial format.
Best-Fit Interiors
Hickory's pronounced character makes it the natural choice for farmhouse, rustic, mountain-modern, and cabin-inspired homes. The species also works beautifully in transitional spaces that want a stronger connection to natural materials, and it brings warmth to contemporary interiors.
Performance in Active Homes
Hickory's hardness and grain variation hide everyday wear better than uniform light oak. The species is appropriate for kitchens, where its hardness handles the marks any kitchen floor accumulates.
Both Hickory collections are engineered for glue-down installation over moisture-tested concrete slabs and nail-down installation over wood subfloors. Care is standard hardwood maintenance: sweep regularly, dry-dust to remove grit, wipe spills promptly, and avoid wet-mopping or steam cleaners.
