Maple and Hickory Flooring Installation in Park Hill, OK

Maple and Hickory Flooring Installation in Park Hill, OK

Hickory is the hardest common domestic species at roughly 1820 on the Janka scale, with maple around 1450. Both outperform oak on dent resistance, which matters with large dogs, heavy furniture or a busy household.

The trade-off is finishing. Both are close-grained and blotch under stain unless they are conditioned first, so they are usually at their best left natural or very lightly stained. If you want a dark floor, these are not the easiest species to get there with.

Hickory also has dramatic colour variation from board to board, which people either love or dislike strongly. It should be seen in quantity rather than as a single plank, because one sample tells you nothing about how a whole floor will read.

Park Hill, OK Hardwood Floor Installation fits both across Park Hill, OK and will show you a full box rather than a chip.
