Power Dekor Endura R-Series 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: Power Dekor Endura R-Series Hickory is engineered hardwood, which means a real hickory 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.

Decision line: Endura R-Series 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. On the Janka scale Hickory runs about 1820, harder than oak and a strong choice for high-traffic rooms. The real advantage is underneath: a cross-layered engineered core that stays flat through Ontario's dry winters and humid summers, where a solid plank would cup or gap. The surface is smooth, a clean and contemporary finish. It carries a Lifetime warranty. Colours in the range include Beige.

We install Power Dekor Endura R-Series Hickory 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.

It is worth seeing Endura R-Series Hickory in person before deciding. Visit either showroom, contact us to confirm current stock, and see more in the engineered hardwood range.
