Overview

White Oak is the undisputed king of hardwood flooring in North America. Its closed-pore grain structure provides natural water resistance, while its 1,360 lbf Janka hardness delivers excellent dent and wear resistance for high-traffic areas. White Oak's warm light-to-medium brown tones with subtle gray undertones work beautifully with modern, farmhouse, and traditional interiors alike. Available in solid and engineered options, rift-sawn and quartersawn cuts, and widths from 2¼" to 10"+, White Oak flooring offers unmatched versatility.

Installation Tips

Acclimate flooring in the room for 5-7 days before installation.

Nail-down, staple-down, or glue-down depending on subfloor type.

Maintain 3/8" expansion gap at all walls and fixed objects.

Install perpendicular to floor joists for nail-down applications.

Check subfloor moisture — must be within 2-4% of flooring MC.

Sand and finish on-site for the most seamless result, or choose prefinished.

Maintenance

Sweep or vacuum regularly to remove grit and debris. Damp-mop with a hardwood floor cleaner as needed — never use excess water. Place felt pads under furniture legs. Refinish every 7-10 years for solid floors (can be refinished 3-5 times over its lifetime). Engineered floors with a thick wear layer can be refinished 1-2 times.
