Quick Answer

What is Belmont Hickory?

Belmont Hickory is a wood-look SPC floor in an inviting honey-gold shade, with a heavy residential, light-commercial-ready wear layer for a durable, easy-care finish.

Is it waterproof?

Yes — 100% waterproof. Powder-room splashes, daily wet feet, and towel drops wipe up without harm when cleaned promptly. Indoor use only — not for installation inside showers or wet rooms, and outdoor installation is not approved.

How durable is it, and what traffic can it take?

The flooring uses a 20 mil wear layer — equal to about 0.50 mm — appropriate for heavy residential use and many light-commercial applications, with excellent protection against everyday scratches, scuffs, and abrasion. It's a common step-up in wear-layer thickness, where the extra protection starts to matter.

Will it hold up to daily life?

Kitchen stress test: dropped cutlery, pans slid from oven to counter, refrigerator casters, and dishwasher spray — Belmont Hickory's 20 mil wear layer and finish handle the spills, dropped pots, and dragged stools of daily kitchen use, and wipe clean with a vinyl-safe cleaner.

What does the plank surface look like?

Each 7-inch plank is all about contrast. Bold light-and-dark ribbons sweep into swirling cathedral figure, with dark mineral streaks and a scatter of pin knots adding grit. No two boards look alike, so a finished floor has a genuinely varied, characterful surface.

Quiet enough upstairs or in a condo?

There's no separate underlayment to buy and no pad to choose. Belmont Hickory's factory-attached cork acoustic pad comes bonded to every plank and dampens footfall noise throughout the home — one less material decision and one less install step.

Is it safe for indoor air?

Yes — Belmont Hickory carries GREENGUARD Gold certification, independently tested for low chemical emissions. That matters most for households with allergies, asthma, or young children.

Will this color work in my room?

Belmont Hickory suits rooms that can take a floor with personality. Its honey-gold warmth flatters white and off-white walls, and it plays nicely against muted greens like the sage door frames in our photo. In an open layout the busy grain reads best with simpler furnishings, so the pattern has space to breathe. Warm and golden, it brightens a hallway or entry that gets little natural light.

Overview

Belmont Hickory is a warm honey-gold with real amber depth, a light-to-mid shade defined by its bold grain. Light and dark ribbons run side by side across each board, swirling into cathedral figure and broken by dark mineral streaks and scattered pin knots. That strong pattern earns its keep in a hallway, where there is little furniture and the floor itself becomes the feature. Every 7-inch plank rides on a 100% waterproof SPC stone-polymer core with a 20 mil wear layer, which matters in a high-traffic corridor. See how the amber catches the light at our Santa Clara showroom.

Frequently asked questions

What does it look like installed in a real room?
Run down a hallway, Belmont Hickory turns the floor into the main event. In the modern corridor we photographed, the honey-gold ribbons led the eye along the run, framed by bright white walls and sage-green door frames. Across a larger room the high-contrast grain stays engaging, though it shows off best where furniture is sparse.
Will it match my cabinets?
Belmont Hickory works with cabinetry that respects its bold grain. Clean white or cream fronts keep things bright and let the floor lead, while sage or muted green, picking up the door frames in our shot, makes a warm, organic pairing. Deep wood-tone cabinets can work too, but keep their grain quieter so the two surfaces do not compete. Busy with busy rarely reads well here.
Will it still look this bright in a windowless basement?
In a windowless hallway or basement, Belmont Hickory brings warmth that many cooler floors lack, thanks to its golden, amber-tinged tone. The waterproof stone-polymer core handles below-grade moisture, so it is a fair choice downstairs. Under warm light the gold glows, and the strong grain gives the eye something to read where there is no view to the outside.
