Why is it masculine?

Planchers (floor) is masculine because it derives from the Late Latin "planchier," which came from "planca" (plank/board), and the masculine suffix "-ier" applied to this Latin root established its gender in Old French. The masculine gender stuck as the word evolved, despite the feminine "planche" (plank) existing as a related term.
