Hickory solid hardwood flooring at Uncle Hilde's

Here are some photos of Uncle Hilde's 3/4" solid prefinished hickory flooring in "utility" grade.

This is one of Uncle Hilde's best selling hardwood flooring products, available in 3-1/4", 4" and 5". Currently there is about 13,000 SF in stock and we have more coming any day now. This "utility grade" product has an occasional defect that some customers will trim out or use in a less conspicuous area. But because of the rustic appearance and character of this hardwood flooring product, much of the time customers find they can just blend in the occasional wacky piece and the floor still looks great. At the price of this product, it is a deal that is just about impossible to beat.

Check the Flooring Catalog for the super prices on the three in-stock sizes.

Not only does natural hickory hardwood flooring have a full-of-character attractive appearance, it is a hard-wearing species making it a great choice for a tough-duty floor. Hickory is one of the hardest US domestic hardwood species - it's janka hardness rating is approximately 1800. (For comparison, red oak's janka hardness rating is approximately 1300.)

A beautiful hardwood species, hard-wearing, and priced right, 3/4" solid prefinished hickory makes a great flooring choice.

Amendoim exotic hardwood flooring (2-1/4")

Amendiom 2-1/4" prefinished in #1Common/Select grade. Beautiful! With a janka hardness of around 1900 it makes a tough, hard-wearing floor. Amendoim has been in very short supply. Luckily Uncle Hilde's has even more coming.

2-1/4" flooring, also known as "strip flooring," is a very traditional look in New England. Amendoim, even though not a household name for most people, is always in high demand in the flooring industry. We can never, ever seem to get enough amendoim hardwood flooring to meet demand. I think the reason it sells so well in New England is that it is not as dark as many "exotics," and has an appearance similar to some domestic hardwood species such as hickory. But much harder for a long-lasting floor. Currently we are down to just a couple thousand SF of 2-1/4" amendoim in the #1Com/Select grade, but thankfully there is another 7000-8000 SF on the way.

There is also some amendoim 3/4"x3" and 3/4"x4" in Select & better in stock in a 1-3' product. This grade doesn't have quite as much character as the #1Com/Select, giving it a slightly different appearance.
