Wickham Hardwood Flooring Solid Hardwood

Real wood ages into a room. A solid floor can be sanded and recoloured years later, so the floor you buy now is not the floor you are stuck with.

In simple terms: Wickham Hardwood Flooring is genuine solid hardwood for the dry, above-grade rooms of a home. Because it is real wood all the way through, it is nailed down and can be refinished rather than replaced. Squarefoot Flooring carries it and our own crew installs it.

Here is what you are buying. It is maple, a fine, consistent grain that reads light and clean, suited to contemporary rooms. On the Janka hardness scale Maple sits around 1450, well above oak, so it resists dents and traffic very well. At a full 3/4 inch, it is solid wood all the way through, which means it can be sanded back and refinished several times over its life and recoloured if your style changes, a floor that can outlast the rest of the room. Plank widths run from 2 1/4 inch up to 5 inch, so you can keep it traditional and narrow or go wide-plank and contemporary. It is available in Select and Better through to more characterful grades, so you can choose a clean, uniform look or more natural colour and knot variation. It has a low-sheen matte finish that hides dust and footprints. Colours in the range include Natural, Natural rustic, Antique, Baroque, and Charcoal.

One honest note: as real wood, it moves with humidity, so it is not for below-grade basements, full bathrooms, or most radiant heat. It acclimates to your home before installation, and some seasonal movement through an Ontario winter is normal. For a basement or slab, engineered hardwood is the better build.

Decision line: Wickham sits in the practical middle for hardness, which is why oak and maple floors like it are the default for most main-floor living areas.

Solid hardwood lives or dies on the install. Our own team nails Wickham Hardwood Flooring down across the Toronto and Mississauga area, Barrie, and Simcoe County, never subcontracted, and we acclimate the wood, check subfloor moisture, and finish the trim and any matching stairs.
