Acacia Hardwood Flooring
Acacia hardwood flooring is an exotic hardwood that offers rich colors, captivating graining, and tough performance. Find it in a range of options at LL Flooring.
Originating with species native to southern and southeast Asia, acacia hardwood flooring gives your home a distinctive natural beauty alongside strong, long-lasting performance. Choose from a broad range of tones and hues, including luscious honeys, alluring cool grays, and creamy mochas, with a wide variation in intensities that add interest and charm.
The exotic hardwood also features striking graining that contrasts well against the natural wood coloring, adding handsome details that catch the eye. You'll find solid acacia hardwoods at both ends of the Janka hardness scale, with short-leaf varieties scoring 2250, signifying a harder wood than most domestic species, while long-leaf acacia offers a softer, more comfortable surface and a Janka scale score of 850.
Get the Style You Want
Acacia hardwood boards can come in various lengths and widths, letting you enjoy the more spacious and causal feel wider, longer boards offer and the more intimate and formal feel shorter, more narrow boards provide. You can also find acacia hardwood in bold herringbone patterns that lend a grand and elegant effect—or add texturing details like wire-brushed and distressed for greater visual interest. Whatever the style you're looking for, acacia floors will elevate the look.
Solid Hardwood Vs. Engineered Hardwood Flooring
Select from either acacia solid hardwood flooring or engineered hardwood. Both options have the same gorgeous, warm colors and unmatched natural appeal. Solid hardwood flooring sets the standard for beautiful, high-performing floors. Each board is a solid piece of wood with all the strength and toughness it takes for acacia to thrive in some of the world's most demanding environments. It makes an excellent choice for traditional and contemporary home styles, adding elegance and endurance in equal measure.
Acacia engineered hardwood flooring gives you the same natural beauty and warmth while providing an option for any level of the home thanks to its innovative construction. Beneath a clear protective layer, the authentic acacia hardwood veneer provides style and appeal. Under the wood veneer, a composite core layer adds additional strength and stability, helping it stand up well to heavy foot traffic and providing another barrier against moisture.
Adaptable and Convenient
Choose acacia hardwood floors for any level of your home —upstairs and downstairs—and engineered acacia can even be installed in basement-level areas. With a range of installation methods available, such as quick-click, float, glue down, and nail or staple available, even less experienced do-it-yourselfers can achieve a professional-quality installation, though you can always choose our professional independent contractors to handle the job. Then, to maintain your floor's glow just regularly sweep with a soft-bristle broom and use an occasional dry mop to clean up any stains or smears, and your floors will glisten for years to come.
