Twelve Oaks Flooring Scandinavian Living 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 Scandinavian Living 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.

Here is what matters on this one. 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. Underneath the wood is a dimensionally stable engineered core, and that is the whole point: it keeps the floor flat where a solid board would react to the seasons. Colours in the range include Light Natural.

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

Installation is in-house and never subcontracted, across the Toronto and Mississauga area up to Barrie and Simcoe County. Engineered board can be glued over a slab, floated, or nailed down, so we assess the subfloor, test for moisture, and pick the right method. Browse our projects or the hardwood installation page.

A small sample never shows how Scandinavian Living Hickory moves across a whole room.
