Red & White Oak

Red and White Oak flooring represents the quintessential American hardwood flooring experience, combining the classic beauty and exceptional performance characteristics that have made oak species the most popular hardwood flooring choice for over a century. These closely related species offer distinct characteristics while sharing the fundamental qualities of strength, durability, and distinctive grain patterns that define quality hardwood flooring. Red Oak features prominent grain patterns with open pores that create distinctive texture and accept stains readily, while White Oak exhibits tighter grain with natural water resistance properties. Both species display the characteristic medullary ray patterns that create the distinctive “tiger stripe” figuring that is synonymous with traditional American hardwood flooring. The natural color of Red Oak ranges from light tan to medium brown with subtle pink undertones, while White Oak typically exhibits lighter, more neutral tones with occasional olive or gray accents. The exceptional durability and strength of both species make them ideal for virtually any residential or commercial application. Reclaimed Red and White Oak often originates from historic barns, warehouses, and residential structures throughout the eastern United States, where their reliability and performance made them the preferred choice for generations of builders and homeowners.
