Hickory Wood Flooring in Los Angeles
At EKO FLOORING, we provide homeowners, designers, and contractors with high-quality Hickory wood flooring in Los Angeles, offering one of the most durable hardwood options available for residential and commercial projects. Known for its exceptional hardness, distinct grain patterns, and rustic beauty, hickory flooring is ideal for those seeking long-lasting, visually impactful floors that perform well under heavy use.
Whether you're installing in a family home or a high-traffic commercial environment, our team helps you choose the right hickory flooring product and delivers expert installation backed by years of industry experience.
Why Choose Hickory Wood Flooring?
Hickory is one of the hardest domestic hardwoods used in flooring, ranking significantly higher than oak or maple on the Janka hardness scale. This makes it an excellent choice for spaces that need to withstand dents, scratches, and daily wear. Clients in Los Angeles often select hickory for its ability to handle foot traffic, pets, and furniture movement without showing early signs of damage.
Key benefits of hickory flooring include:
High resistance to wear and impact
Distinctive grain and color variation
Suitable for both traditional and modern interiors
Available in solid and engineered formats
Long-term durability in LA’s variable humidity
We provide options in prefinished and unfinished hickory, with wide plank and hand-scraped styles available for added design flexibility.
Solid vs. Engineered Hickory Flooring
At EKO FLOORING, we carry both solid and engineered hickory hardwood, helping clients select the right construction for their subfloor and environmental conditions.
Solid hickory is best suited to above-grade installations with a plywood subfloor and controlled humidity.
Engineered hickory features a real hickory veneer over a stable core, making it ideal for concrete slabs, radiant heat systems, or areas with more humidity fluctuation—common conditions in many Los Angeles homes and commercial spaces.
Our team provides personalized recommendations based on your site’s moisture levels, traffic patterns, and long-term maintenance expectations.
Local Performance Considerations in Los Angeles
Installing Hickory wood flooring in Los Angeles requires attention to environmental factors such as seasonal humidity swings, foundation types, and indoor climate control. While hickory is a tough material, its density also makes it more reactive to moisture if not installed correctly.
Our experienced installers take the following steps to ensure performance and longevity:
Acclimating materials to the job site
Testing and preparing the subfloor (moisture and flatness)
Choosing the right adhesive or fastener method for the space
Installing expansion gaps to manage seasonal movement
Recommending humidity controls if needed
We also educate clients on post-installation care to preserve finish integrity and minimize movement or gapping.
Environmentally Responsible Sourcing and Standards
Many of the hickory flooring brands we carry are sourced from U.S.-based mills that follow responsible forestry practices. While each brand has its own mix of certifications, several of our product lines meet important industry and environmental standards, including:
FloorScore®-certified or GREENGUARD Gold for low VOC emissions
EPA TSCA Title VI Compliant
CARB II Compliant
Lacey Act Compliant for legal, ethical wood harvesting
FSC®-Certified options available upon request
We help Los Angeles clients evaluate which certifications and sustainability practices matter most for their project, ensuring you make a selection aligned with your environmental and air quality goals.
