Handmade Hickory in light brown with sapwood highlights

Kavala (Hickory)

Kavala is beautiful and sustainable. Like all CRAFT floors, Kavala is made from North American wood, Chain of Custody certified (Sustainable Forestry Initiative® SFI-01898) to be legal, responsible and traceable back to a sustainably managed forest.

All CRAFT floors have a Declare label and are rated Red List Free; are ultra-low emitting and are certified to GREENGUARD Gold; and are covered by a Product Specific, Type III EPD.

CRAFT’s certifications are verified and summarized in a Validated Eco-Declaration. Review our higher standards.

Kavala (Hickory)

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.

Kavala (Hickory)

Kavala floors are made possible by intensive grading of our CRAFT Elite 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.

Kavala (Hickory)

For the utmost in design flexibility, Kavala is also available in wide plank Herringbone or Chevron pattern. You can order as much or as little as you please, knowing that your Kavala Herringbone or Chevron planks will blend perfectly with a Kavala floor.
