American Black Walnut Plank Flooring

American Black Walnut is now used for luxurious wide plank wood floors because of its beauty, durability and stability - but since early days, Walnut was one of the preferred hardwoods for fine furniture and woodworking. Prized for its rich, dark tones; walnut is an excellent choice for a truly distinctive hardwood floor. Whether you desire a formal look or the more rustic charm of distressed floors, American Black Walnut is an excellent choice for a wide plank wood floor. Beginning as an almost purple color, American Black Walnut, the only domestic wood that starts off dark, quickly turns a beautiful nut brown with the sapwood remaining a slightly lighter color for contrast. We carefully choose the face with the most heart wood for the top of each flooring plank to minimize the inherent color variation between heartwood and sapwood in American Black Walnut and then steam the planks prior to kiln drying to provide a more consistent finished wood floor. With any finish, American Black Walnut plank flooring will develop golden highlights as it lightens on exposure to sunlight.

CountryPlank.com offers walnut flooring in a variety of grades and styles. We can also apply custom surface treatments to your walnut floor including a variety of distressed looks or hand scraped edges on the sides and ends.

Our listing of solid walnut hardwood flooring prices includes both finished and unfinished wood planks in many widths and lengths. If you are interested in engineered walnut floors, consider your application - will the walnut floor be installed on or below grade? Do you have moisture or stability concerns? Will your hardwood flooring be installed directly to a slab? Or, do you just need a thinner wood floor? Pricing of walnut floors is affected by the length and width of the floor boards, your choice of solid hardwood or engineered wood, whether you want your walnut floor prefinished or unfinished, and the grade of walnut floor you select.
