Durability

Hickory hardwoods have a Janka Hardness Scale rating of 1820, which makes it harder than oak, maple, pine, or any other domestic hardwood in the U.S. for hardwood flooring. The incredible strength of hickory woods, alongside its high density and high resistance to wear and tear, is seen in hardwood flooring because of its excellent durability. It does not get damaged, scratched, or dented as easily, making it perfect for spaces with high volumes of foot traffic.

Hickory is durable as they come. All types of flooring are subjected to years of foot traffic, and over time, the floors give in, and different forms of damage manifest. Moving furniture around, spillage of food and beverage, shoes coming in and out of a home or office, dirt, mud, prolonged exposure to sunlight — are just a few examples of how floors experience use and abuse. The hardness of hickory, however, provides the flooring with an inherent resistance to wear and tear. Its surface qualities allow it to hold stains better than other wood species and with constant waxing, its resistance to water damage improves as well.

Sturdiness

Apart from its aesthetic appeal, hickory flooring is chosen for its hardness rating, making it a good choice for high-traffic areas in your home. It withstands the wear and tear of everyday use, which makes it a popular flooring choice also for commercial spaces. It is easy to clean and maintain, requiring only sweeping and regular mopping, allowing it to keep its high-grade shine. 

And while there are other harder hardwoods on the market, no other hardwood flooring combines an authentic wood appearance, hardness, strength, and high density like hickory.
