Long plank hardwood flooring

Colorado's largest hardwood retailer

Natural Hickory long-length hardwood flooring from T&G.

The longer the plank, the smoother your floors will be once installed. If you are installing hardwood flooring in a big room or your hallway, having longer boards will create more cohesion and continuity in the home than if were using shorter boards. With shorter boards, the finished look could become too choppy for a big room. The fewer breaks and gaps between boards, the more visually consistent your floors will be.

At T&G, we have our own special brand of Natural Hickory long-length hardwood flooring. Besides hitting the long plank trend, this solid hickory flooring comes in the uber trendy dark brown heartwood and can be purchased with a smooth finish or distressed finish.
