    Check out our most popular flooring! Stunning and beautiful engineered white oak floors in this modern farmhouse project, and we couldn't be happier with the result! The natural finish with Bona HD Traffic provides excellent durability and showcases the wood's natural grain and color variation.


    Our European French oak engineered planks are an excellent choice for several reasons. They are made from a true plain sawn version with a 4mm veneer, providing exceptional durability that will outlast many other engineered floors.




    White oak engineered hardwood flooring is a popular choice for several reasons:

    1. Moisture resistance: Engineered white oak hardwood flooring is more resistant to moisture than solid wood flooring. The layers of wood in engineered flooring help to prevent warping and buckling that can occur in solid wood floors when exposed to moisture.

    2. Versatility in installation: Engineered white oak flooring can be installed over both plywood and concrete subfloors, making it a versatile choice for any home. Additionally, it can be installed on any level of the home, including below grade, where solid wood floors are not recommended.

    3. Stability: Engineered white oak flooring is more stable than solid wood flooring, thanks to its construction. The layers of wood are glued together with each layer's grain running perpendicular to the previous layer. This cross-grain construction helps to prevent the floorboards from expanding and contracting with changes in temperature and humidity, making it a more durable choice.

    4. Beauty: White oak is a beautiful wood species with distinctive grain patterns and color variations. Engineered white oak flooring showcases these natural features while also providing the benefits of engineered construction.

    Overall, white oak engineered hardwood flooring is an excellent choice for its combination of beauty, durability, and versatility in installation.

      Differences Between White and Red Solid Oak Floors

        At The Hardwood Guys, we understand that choosing the right type of wood flooring for your home can be a daunting task. With so many different species of wood available, it can be challenging to decide which one is the best fit for your needs. One of the most common choices for hardwood flooring is oak, and within the oak family, there are two primary types: red oak and white oak. In this article, we'll explore the differences between these two types of oak and help you make an informed decision.


        We refinished the job that the previous installer added both red oak. We were lucky enough that the customer choose a natural look and we were able to show a "finished" installation of both Red and White Oak. When they are stained a med-dark stain, these differences can be hidden.


        Appearance

        One of the most apparent differences between red oak and white oak is their appearance. Red oak has a pinkish or reddish tint, while white oak has a more yellowish or tan hue. Additionally, red oak has a more pronounced grain pattern with longer rays, while white oak has a more subtle and uniform grain pattern. Both types of oak can be stained to achieve a specific color, but the natural hues of each wood will still be visible.

        Durability

        Both red oak and white oak are durable hardwoods, but white oak is slightly denser and harder than red oak. This means that white oak is less susceptible to dents and scratches, making it a great choice for high-traffic areas or homes with pets. However, both types of oak are suitable for most residential applications and can last for many years with proper maintenance.


        Stability

        Another crucial factor to consider when choosing wood flooring is its stability. Wood can expand and contract with changes in temperature and humidity, which can cause gaps and cracks to develop. White oak is slightly more stable than red oak, thanks to its denser structure. This means that white oak is less likely to warp or bend when exposed to moisture. However, both types of oak can be acclimated to their environment to minimize the effects of temperature and humidity changes.

        Price

        Finally, it's worth considering the cost of each type of oak. While the price can vary depending on the specific grade and quality of the wood, red oak is generally less expensive than white oak. This is because red oak is more abundant than white oak and easier to work with, making it a popular choice for flooring manufacturers.


        In conclusion, both red oak and white oak are excellent choices for hardwood flooring, and the choice ultimately comes down to personal preference and your specific needs. If you're looking for a hardwood with a distinct grain pattern and warm hues, red oak may be the best choice. If you need a more durable and stable option, white oak is an excellent choice. Most customers that want a farmhouse look or a natural look will choose white oak to prevent the red hues to show through. We also have Bona Red Out that will allow us to minimize some of these red hues. Regardless of which type of oak you choose, we're confident that it will add beauty and value to your home for many years to come.
