Big Sky Collection


By bringing centuries old craftsmanship and cutting edge technologies together, Big Sky offers an unrivaled set of options that enhance the natural beauty of timber.

For centuries the old European craft of fuming wood to change the color has been used to suit individual tastes, a method whereby ammonia reacts with the natural tannin contained in the timber. Viking takes this know-how and uses the latest reactive stains which work on the same principal to create stunning, but completely natural looking flooring.

Unlike traditional stains, which basically place a closed pigment on top of the wood, reactive technology only works based on the amount of tannin contained at any specific point in the wood. So it’s the tree, the life it’s had, the soil it’s grown in that’s dictating the final color. So unlike traditional pigment stains our process has far more warmth and depth of color tones.

Throughout the Big Sky range the number of processes to create a given product vary, and much of this so called “modern" technology is applied by hand by modern day craftsman, thus giving every board that bespoke feel.

Embrace what nature has to offer and install a floor where the wear layer has taken decades or even centuries to grow, and see how Big Sky enhances that beauty and gives a unique feel and look that other flooring just cannot offer.



The most environmentally friendly flooring available are authentic wood floors. Trees are a renewable resource and provide flooring that is sustainable for many generations. All Viking Hardwood Flooring products are made with raw material originating from sustainably managed forests.

Features & Benefits


3-Ply Engineered Solid Construction

Full 3/4" thick fillet engineered construction provides superior stability and less movement due to environmental conditions compared to 3/4" solid flooring.

6mm Sawn Face Precious Hardwood Wear Layer

Allows for maximum amount of sanding and life expectancy equal to traditional 3/4" solid flooring while using less precious hardwood resources due to its engineered construction using renewable plantation hardwoods.

Hevea Core Layer

Hevea is a hardwood species as dense as Oak that has enhanced dimensional stability that withstands pressures from external environmental changes and outperforms other engineered floors that use a plywood core.

UV Ultra Matte Urethane Factory Finish with Anti-Slip Agent

Custom UV cured polyurethane finish is formulated using the latest technologies by the world's foremost finish manufacturer to emulate the look of European oil finishes without the additional maintenance requirements.

Handcrafted Floor Artistry

Each piece is truly hand-worked floor art utilizing custom staining and hand-texturizing processes to avoid the typical overworked, machine like appearances of so many other wood floors in the market.

Long Lengths Creating Expansive Linear Visuals

NW European White Oak - Long lengths up to 8'

NW European Ash & North American Hickory - Long lengths up to 7'

North American Walnut - Long lengths up to 6'

11-1/2" Wide Oaks - Long lengths up to 10'

7-1/2", 9-1/2", & 11-1/2" Wide Planks

Wide planks display more natural character with fewer seams and enhanced grain visuals. They require a higher grade of lumber and produce less manufacturing waste. Visuals will include a mixture of live-sawn planks (rift, quartered and plain sawn all in the same board), exhibiting beauty seen only in the finest woodwork.

High Investment Value

Unlike typical floor coverings like carpet, vinyl or laminate that periodically need to be replaced, Big Sky Premium Hardwood flooring is a permanent fixture that adds value to your home and can last a lifetime.

50 Year Residential Wear/3 Year Light Commercial

Providing peace of mind and confidence knowing that your flooring investment will last for years to come.

Species

Northwestern European White Oak

Known as the "King of the Forest" , harvested from select forests in Germany and France. Superior to Southern Oak in stability, hardness, and color consistency with a tighter grain.

North American Hickory

The hardest of North American hardwoods, hickory is known for its durability, strength and naturally occurring dynamic color range from heartwood to sapwood.

Northwestern European Ash

Known as Ironwood, harder and more dimensionally stable than Oak, Ash provides consistency in color and grain.

North American Walnut

Prized for its distinctive knots, attractive burrs and unique grain pattern make it a sophisticated flooring choice.

Environment

Plantation Grown - 70% of the hardwoods used in the production of Viking Big Sky are harvested from well managed plantations, resulting in better use of the slower growing hardwoods from natural forests. Lacey Act Compliant, Carb II Compliant, and Floorscore® Certified.
