Oak Wood Floors

Oak is a typically sturdy premium hardwood that is extremely popular for furniture, flooring, and lumber. Red oak, white oak, and quartersawn varieties are some of the most sought after, reaching a high demand in the United States and Europe. Red oak is darker, while white oak is lighter, as the names suggest. Quartersawn oak is cut to show the beauty of the grain and to add texture to your flooring.

Typically, oak wood is not as hard as maple, but is harder than cherry or other domestic hardwoods. One thing to be careful of, though, is water on your oak floors, particularly red oak. This wood will stain black when water is allowed to penetrate the surface, so it is always advisable to use non-water based cleaners on your oak floors. On the other hand, white oak is not as susceptible to water damage and is virtually impenetrable by liquids, making it an excellent boat-building wood.
