White Oak Flooring
If you’ve ever stepped into a school gym, you have seen white oak flooring. Notice the smooth finish and interesting color? White oak is that lovely grained charcoal to light ash colored wood that is one of the hardest woods around. That’s why it’s used for applications where it must stand up under repeated foot traffic-like gyms or ballrooms. It’s best for areas of your home where people will gather most of the time.
Why choose white oak flooring for your home’s floors? White oak is light in color and very absorbent. So it is the ideal choice when you want to apply an even and rich stain color. It also holds a shine for a long time, so a good choice when you want a high gloss finish.
White oak flooring is very easy to take care of. If you spill anything on it, just wipe it right off. It’s one of the lowest maintenance floors around.
Be sure to get the color you envision when you pick out your oak. White oak can run in shades from the very light to a brown sugar color. Specify the color you want and then choose a stain that will complement it. Always test your stain on scraps of the actual flooring and look at it in every light possible. What you see at night might not look the same at all in the daytime.
Wooden floors are lovely because they bring such warmth and charm to any home. There are so many design possibilities as white oak goes with everything. You can bring in just about any type of furniture and find that it blends perfectly with your floors.
Depending on the type of cut of the logs you will get different variations in white oak. Quarter sawn white oak will appear to have flecks and circular arches around rings that are naturally present in the wood. If you rift saw it, it will appear as no other wood does. Smooth lines will appear throughout the planks and give a natural, straight grain pattern. Specify which type you want so that you won’t be disappointed.
Your flooring can last you a lifetime if you do it right. Enlist the help of a qualified floor installer and you will have gorgeous white oak floors that are the envy of all your guests. Treat yourself to the best you can afford and you will be thankful that you did every time you look at your floors.
