Fuzion Flooring Nouveau Renaissance Hickory Engineered Hardwood

The reason engineered hardwood exists is simple. Concrete slabs, basements, and radiant heat will destroy a solid floor, and engineered was built to handle all three.

In simple terms: Fuzion Flooring Nouveau Renaissance Hickory pairs a real hickory top layer with an engineered core built for stability. It gives you a genuine wood floor that can go where solid planks cannot, and we carry and install it ourselves.

Here is what matters on this one. It is real hickory, dramatic grain, natural colour variation, and the hardest common domestic species. Hickory sits around 1820 on the Janka hardness scale, well above the red oak benchmark, so it shrugs off busy traffic. It carries a 3mm dry-sawn wear layer, real sawn wood you can refinish like solid hardwood at least once over its life. The real advantage is underneath: a 3-layer solid core that stays flat through Ontario's dry winters and humid summers, where a solid plank would cup or gap. That is why it may be suitable for on-grade or above-grade use, and some collections for below-grade use when approved, including basements and concrete slabs, places solid hardwood cannot. Planks run 8 1/2 inches wide, a wide-plank look that shows off the grain. A low-sheen finish keeps dust and footprints from showing. Micro-bevelled edges give each plank a defined line and absorb the seasonal movement of a wood floor. It carries a 35-year residential and lifetime structural warranty.

Decision line: Nouveau Renaissance Hickory is the pick when you want real, refinishable wood that can still handle a slab, a basement, or radiant heat.
