Hickory Flooring

Durability and resistance make hickory hardwood a top choice for business and homeowners throughout Arlington, TX and the surrounding area. These qualities have never been more important with the amount of wear and tear a floor endures in today’s fast paced environment. This is particularly true for homeowners with kids and / or pets. Residents looking for floor renovation will be especially intrigued by the hickory variety, as its light color enhances the decor of many interiors. Advantages to hickory hardwood include:

• Durability: Known to withstand wear and tear
• Variety: Nearly 20 different variations
• Resistance: Less susceptible to common flooring problems like fungus, mildew and termites
• Stability: Rated as the hardest hardwood by Janka, at 1820

Using Oak as a comparative hardwood, hickory is harder and more durable, as evidenced by its 1820 rating on the Janka Rating Scale. The stability of this flooring appeals to homeowners and businesses alike, and makes an ideal solution for modern interiors. It’s not only about practicality either, but also aesthetics and decor. The light color compliments other elements of your home or business, and potentially increases your property’s resale value.
