Twelve Oaks Flooring Crafters Mission Grande Hickory Engineered Hardwood

Engineered hardwood gets dismissed as the budget option, which misses the point: it is real wood built to go where a solid plank fails.

In simple terms: Twelve Oaks Flooring Crafters Mission Grande Hickory is genuine hickory on top of a stable engineered base. That is what lets real wood go into rooms solid flooring cannot, while still sanding and finishing like the real thing. We carry it and install it with our own team.

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. The core is the quiet workhorse here. A cross-layered engineered core resists the expansion and contraction that makes solid wood cup, gap, or lift. Colours in the range include Dark Brown, Medium Brown, and Medium Grey.

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

Engineered hardwood gives you options solid wood does not: glue-down over concrete, floating, or nail-down over plywood. Our own crew installs Twelve Oaks Flooring Crafters Mission Grande Hickory across the Toronto and Mississauga area, Barrie, and Simcoe County, never subcontracted, and we flatten and moisture-test the subfloor first, finish the trim, and handle matching stairs.
