More about Viking
Handcrafted wide plank floors
Viking Hardwood Flooring produces handcrafted, artisan finished wide plank floors. Its engineered solid construction uses Northwestern European White Oak and North American Walnut, with Ash in Big Sky, from sustainably managed forests, finished by hand piece by piece. Every Viking series is FloorScore certified and carries a 50 year residential wear warranty.
Big Sky pairs a 6mm sawn face wear layer with a plantation grown Hevea hardwood core. Viking rates that sawn face for the same number of sandings as traditional ¾ inch solid flooring, and Hevea is a hardwood as dense as oak with more dimensional stability than a standard plywood core. Urban Rustic and Refined Craftsman use the same Hevea core under a 3.2mm sawn face.

Installation
Viking floors install by nail or staple with glue assist, or by full spread glue. Viking requires glue with nailing on planks wider than 5 inch, and its installation guide also covers floating. Every series is approved above, on and below grade and is compatible with hydronic radiant heat; Viking does not approve electric radiant heat. Each floor's page lists its own specifications from the manufacturer.
