Wide Plank Walnut Flooring
Walnut flooring is an American standard well known for its dark brown heartwood, often featuring a warm cast and darker streaks. The color of walnut is so distinctive, that the word "Walnut" itself has come to refer to this deep, rich, and highly sought after chocolate brown.
