Next Floor Notting Hill 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: Next Floor Notting Hill 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.

Decision line: Notting Hill Hickory is the practical middle ground, real wood with the stability to go over concrete, into basements, and across the seasons.

The detail behind that: 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. What you are paying for is stability. A cross-layered engineered core holds its shape across the seasonal humidity swing that moves solid wood. Planks run 7 inches wide, a wide-plank look that shows off the grain.

Our installers handle Next Floor Notting Hill Hickory from subfloor moisture testing to the final trim, across the GTA, Barrie, and Simcoe County, with no subcontractors. Over concrete we typically glue down, over plywood we nail or float, and the prep is where the job is won. See the hardwood installation page.

It is worth seeing Notting Hill Hickory in person before deciding. Visit either store, contact us to confirm current stock, and see more in the engineered hardwood range.
