Species
American Walnut Flooring
Rich, deep chocolate tones and flowing grain make walnut one of the most luxurious hardwood floors — warm, dramatic, and timeless.
Character
Why American Walnut
Look
Deep browns with purple and amber undertones and striking grain movement — a warm, high-end statement floor.
Feel
A softer hardwood than oak (walnut's Janka is lower), so it reads warm and rich; best suited to living areas over the highest-traffic zones.
Formats
Beautiful in wide-plank and available engineered for stability.
Best For
Luxury living rooms, primary suites, and formal spaces where warmth and drama matter.
How We Install It
Engineered walnut adds stability for wide planks and mountain climates; we recommend the right build for each room.
