GoodFellow Flooring Riverside Heights Black Walnut Engineered Hardwood

Real wood on top, a stable core underneath: that combination is why engineered hardwood ends up in more Toronto condos and finished basements than solid ever could.

In simple terms: GoodFellow Flooring Riverside Heights Black Walnut is engineered hardwood, which means a real black walnut surface over a cross-layered core. You get the look of solid wood with the stability to put it over concrete or in a basement. Squarefoot Flooring stocks it and installs it in-house.

The wood and the build: It is real black walnut, a deep chocolate tone with a soft, formal character. Black Walnut sits around 1010 on the Janka hardness scale, a little softer than oak, better suited to calmer rooms. The wear layer is 2mm of real wood, enough for one careful refinish down the road. The core is the quiet workhorse here. A multi-ply core resists the expansion and contraction that makes solid wood cup, gap, or lift. That is why it can go over in-floor radiant heat, places solid hardwood cannot. Planks run 5 inches wide. The surface is wire-brushed, which lifts the grain for texture and quietly hides everyday wear. It carries a 25-year residential, Lifetime structural warranty. Colours in the range include Natural.

We install GoodFellow Flooring Riverside Heights Black Walnut with our own team, not subcontractors, across the GTA, Barrie, and Simcoe County. The method depends on the subfloor, glued to concrete, floated, or nailed to plywood, and a flat, dry base matters more than anything. Read how we work on the hardwood installation page, or see our projects.

Decision line: choose Riverside Heights Black Walnut when you want genuine hardwood that will stay flat over a slab or in a basement.

A small sample never shows how Riverside Heights Black Walnut moves across a whole room. See it at our Mississauga or Barrie store, contact us about availability, and compare materials on the hardwood vs vinyl guide. Because it is rated for radiant heat, it also pairs with the in-floor heating membranes we stock. For the full GoodFellow Flooring range, see our GoodFellow Flooring page.
