Debunking Common Myths

 

“Wide plank flooring makes small rooms look smaller.”
Actually, the opposite is often true. Fewer seams and broader boards make rooms feel more open.

“Hickory is too hard to work with.”
Hickory is a dense wood, but when installed properly it gives unmatched durability without being overly difficult.

“Solid hardwood is high maintenance.”
With a prefinished urethane coating like Dura-Luster Plus, these floors resist stains, scratches, and everyday wear.

FAQs

What is the difference between wide plank and regular hardwood flooring?
Wide plank flooring, like the 5″ boards in the American Treasures collection, covers more surface area with fewer seams. This creates a cleaner, more open look compared to traditional 2¼″ or 3¼″ boards, which have more visual breaks.
Yes. Hickory is one of the hardest domestic wood species and is known for its resistance to wear and dents. It’s ideal for high-traffic areas and holds up well over time.
No, this collection is solid hardwood and is recommended only for on or above grade installations. It is not suitable for areas with high moisture like basements.
Yes. All products in the American Treasures 5″ collection are prefinished with a urethane coating (Dura-Luster or Dura-Luster Plus) for added durability and easier maintenance.
Sweep or vacuum regularly to remove dirt. Use a damp mop (not soaking wet) and a hardwood floor cleaner that’s safe for urethane finishes. Avoid steam cleaners and abrasive scrubbers.
