Imperial Pecan Hardwood Flooring Makes a Statement

Written by Janine & Michael | Wednesday, May 19, 2021

If you're looking to make a statement with your floors, consider Imperial Pecan hardwood flooring. It's a stunning series by Anderson Tuftex that combines beauty with durability.

The Warmth of Pecan Hardwood

Pecan is a particularly warm-looking hardwood with considerable variation from plank to plank. As the National Wood Flooring Association explains about the appearance of the Pecan wood species,

Color: Pecan heartwood is reddish-brown with dark brown stripes; sapwood is white or creamy white with pinkish tones. 

Grain: Pecan is open, occasionally wavy or irregular. 

Variations Within Species And Grades: In both hickory and pecan, there are often pronounced differentiations in color between springwood and summerwood.

The Durability of Imperial Pecan Hardwood

Imperial Pecan consists of engineered hardwood that has been finished with a smooth UV aluminum oxide finish for even greater durability.

This product is a full half-inch thick, in random plank lengths, and in timeless 7.5-inch wide planks that feature micro-beveled edges.

Imperial Pecan hardwood comes with a 50-year finish warranty and lifetime structural warranty.

Dynamic variations in tone and texture perfect this natural pecan.

Finding a balance between smooth and more complex grains, warm tones are made even more interesting and inviting. No two planks are exactly alike — each one resembles different grain patterns seen in pine, white oak, and hickory. 

Imperial Pecan in color Umber

This collection is available in the following colors:

  • Antique
  • Barley
  • Chestnut
  • Dove
  • Fawn
  • Flaxen
  • Harvest
  • Hazel
  • Origin
  • Umber

Imperial Pecan in color Hazel

Although related, colors Fawn and Hazel vary ever so slightly as you can see from these images above and below.

As you may have noticed from the images of this hardwood flooring collection, the finish is not highly glossy. Rather, it has a more of a satin finish where the stunning variation in grain patterns makes a statement wherever you install this engineered floor.

Because it is engineered, you can install this product above ground, at ground level, and also below ground in a basement, for example. It will also easily accommodate radiant heating.

These next two images help illustrate the difference in statement you can make with your choice of Imperial Pecan.

First up is color Barley, with light warm tones. Notice the variation in color as well as the variety of plank lengths. The Imperial Pecan wood grain shines!

Next is the same room scene in color Dove, which is much darker in tone. The color, pattern and length variations are still there. However, they are more subtle.

Notice, too, how warm Dove is, despite being darker than the traditional pecan color.

Here's another closeup so you can see the varied plank lengths and the fabulous wood grain variations.

Color Origin is another dark-toned color. However, it in no way affects the warmth and richness of Imperial Pecan.
