Green Touch Floors Touch Hickory Engineered Hardwood

There is a lot of marketing noise around engineered hardwood, but it comes down to two things that matter: how thick the real-wood layer is, and how stable the core is.

In simple terms: Green Touch Floors Touch Hickory is real hickory over a multi-ply core. The surface is the same wood you would get in a solid floor; the core is what keeps it flat over a slab, in a basement, or through the seasons. We stock it and our crew installs it.

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. Stability comes from the build: a cross-layered engineered core that takes the seasonal swing in stride instead of telegraphing it into the floor. Widths run from 5 to 7 1/4 inches, so you can keep it classic or go wide-plank and modern. The surface is wire-brushed, which lifts the grain for texture and quietly hides everyday wear. Colours in the range include Klamath, Lyon, Mojave, Omak, and Bayshore.

Decision line: choose Green Touch Hickory when you want genuine hardwood that will stay flat over a slab or in a basement.

Engineered hardwood gives you options solid wood does not: glue-down over concrete, floating, or nail-down over plywood.
