Color and Appearance

Somerset does not publish a written description for Hickory Ember, so we recommend seeing it in person in our showroom or at home before you decide. Because it is real wood, every plank is different.

Construction

Solid hardwood is one piece of wood from top to bottom, so it can be sanded and refinished many times over its life. It is nailed or stapled over a wood subfloor and is not recommended directly over concrete. Somerset also makes this color as SolidPLUS engineered flooring, a multi-ply engineered board that is more stable and can go over a slab.

Installation

Our crews check your subfloor for moisture and flatness, acclimate the flooring, and install it to Somerset’s published instructions. Learn more about our hardwood flooring installation.

Delivery and Pickup

Somerset flooring is ordered through the distributor. Call to confirm current availability and lead time, and ask about delivery to your home or job site, or pickup from our store.

Care

Sweep or vacuum (hard-floor setting) regularly to remove grit.
Clean with a barely damp mop and a cleaner made for finished wood floors. Never wet-mop or steam.
Use felt pads under furniture and mats at entries.
Keep indoor humidity steady to limit seasonal gaps.

Warranty Summary

Somerset lists a 50-year residential finish warranty, a 5-year commercial finish warranty and a lifetime structural warranty. Coverage depends on proper installation, care and use. Read the full terms on Somerset’s warranty page.
