Color and Appearance
Dukes Group does not publish a written description for Barley, so we recommend seeing a sample in our showroom or at home before you decide. Because it is real wood, every plank is different.
Construction
Engineered construction pairs a real hardwood wear layer with a cross-layered core. It moves less than solid wood through Southern California’s dry Santa Ana winds and seasonal humidity changes. The 3mm top layer leaves material for future sanding and refinishing.
Installation
Our crews check your subfloor for moisture and flatness, acclimate the flooring, and install it to Dukes Group’s published instructions. Learn more about our hardwood flooring installation.
Delivery and Pickup
Dukes Group 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.

- Use felt pads under furniture and mats at entries.
- Keep indoor humidity steady to limit seasonal gaps.
