Red Oak Wood Flooring

Red Oak is a light to medium brown, commonly with a reddish cast. Nearly white to light brown sapwood is not always sharply demarcated from the heartwood. Quarter-sawn sections display prominent ray fleck patterns.

Conversely‚ White Oak‚ tends to be slightly more olive-coloured, but is by no means a reliable method of determining the type of oak. Grain is straight, with a coarse, uneven texture.

The pores are so large and open that it is said that a person can blow into one end of the wood, and air will come out the other end: provided that the grain runs straight enough.

The most popular hardwood flooring in America, Red Oak is a ubiquitous sight in many homes. Even many vinyl/imitation wood surfaces are printed to look like Red Oak. Hard, strong, and premium priced in the UK.
