The sapwood is whitish with a brown tinge, while the heartwood varies from light brown to dark yellow with natural deep purple mineral streaks. Pecking is also a known characteristic and is not considered a defect.
Filled with natural character, our Hickory oiled flooring leaves no one indifferent. Dense, hard and fibrous, these characteristics give it a great resistance to impacts.
Important note: Hickory is very sensitive to relative humidity, especially to dryness in winter
Our flooring collections offer remarkable beauty and unparalleled longevity thanks to Permabois' unique impregnation process.
