Handmade Hickory in light brown with sapwood highlights

Our skilled craftsmen individually select and handcraft each plank to create gorgeous, naturally stunning floors. All surface treatments are done by hand to ensure that the wood will exhibit the most natural looking finish possible.

Kavala floors are made possible by intensive grading of our select premium grade Hickory. The look that our Kavala floors strive for is to showcase hickory’s beautiful brown heartwood by limiting the white sapwood to accent strips along the sides of some boards. The result is a cleaner, more linear look than other natural Hickory hardwood floors.

The distinctive neutral light brown colour that is unique to Kavala is achieved by a subtle surface treatment that mutes some of the warmth naturally present in Hickory’s heartwood, resulting in a natural organic feel perfect for today’s design trends.
