Wide Plank Rustic Hickory

Our wide plank Hickory flooring is an impressive 3/4″ overall engineered thickness, consisting of a substantial 1/4″ thick wear layer on top a sturdy 1/2″ plywood base.

We use a No-VOC UV-cured Aluminum Oxide clear matte finish.

Yes. Hickory's tight grain and 1820 Janka rating make it one of the more moisture resistant domestic hardwoods, and the No-VOC UV-cured Aluminum Oxide finish adds another layer of protection against everyday spills. Wipe up water, coffee, or grease right away and it will hold up well in a busy kitchen.

Engineered floors, like our rustic Hickory engineered hardwood flooring, consist of multiple wood sheets bonded together. This cross ply construction arranges the layers in opposing directions to enhance stability, effectively protecting against moisture issues.
The unique arrangement allows the planks to expand and contract in such a way that limits cupping and crowning when exposed to varying humidity levels. Thanks to their versatile design, engineered floors can be installed anywhere in the home such as the basement to directly on concrete slabs.

Live-sawn Hickory flooring is cut straight through the log's diameter, an efficient method that creates rich grain variation and minimal waste.

Each plank features natural mineral streaks, sound knots, and unique color variation. Voids are epoxy-filled, tongue and groove is milled on all four sides, and boards are graded to 99% usable specifications, then pre-finished with a no-VOC, UV-cured Aluminum Oxide matte finish.

Yes. The cross-ply engineered core handles this well. Unlike solid hardwood, it can be glued or floated directly over concrete and performs well below grade, where humidity and temperature swing more often than upstairs.

This is exactly what Hickory is built for. It's one of the hardest domestic flooring species available, and the Aluminum Oxide finish adds scratch resistance on top of that. Keep pet nails trimmed and use felt pads under furniture, and this floor will handle an bustling household for years.

Our 1/4" wear layer sits on the thicker end for engineered flooring, well beyond the thin 1 to 2mm veneers used on many budget products. The extra material means our Hickory flooring can be refinished multiple times (as many as you'll ever need) over the life of the floor instead of replaced.

Generally, yes, for hydronic (water based) radiant systems, since the engineered cross-ply core resists the warping and gapping the wood can experience over a heat source. Keep the surface temperature under 80°F and avoid rapid swings. If you're running electric heat mats, call us at (406) 642-7120 before you order so we can confirm your setup will work.
