One of the most popular choices of hardwood, red oak hardwood flooring gives your interiors enticing hints of coloring alongside eye-catching graining and detail. Its rich aesthetic appeal is complemented by its superior all-around performance, featuring long-lasting construction that stands up to the traffic of a busy household. Red oak can come in various color tones, including lighter blondes, bold cherries, and deep coffees, so you have a full spectrum of options.
Red Oak Solid Hardwood Flooring offers you the classic, timeless beauty of solid hardwood, full of natural warmth that enlivens contemporary and traditional homes. Place it in entryways, kitchens, bedrooms, and anywhere that can benefit from its unmatched charm and appeal. Solid red oak's Janka hardness scale rating of 1290 sets the industry benchmark for assessing the hardness of woods, falling right in the middle as neither too soft nor too hard.
Red Oak Engineered Hardwood Flooring gives you the same richness and natural beauty as solid hardwood. The difference lies beneath the surface, with the advanced construction techniques that enhance its performance. Engineered hardwood features a veneer of authentic wood on the surface, so solid and engineered hardwoods look the same once installed. Beneath the wood veneer is a core that provides enhanced protection against moisture, greater stability, and firmness, allowing it to hold up well to heavy foot traffic.
You'll find options for all grades of your home, whether an upstairs bedroom, a downstairs kitchen, or a basement wine cellar. Most do-it-yourselfers can install this flooring, with quick-click, float, glue-down, and nail or staple options all available. Or make it easy on yourself with professional independent contractors for your installation. Once installed, hardwood flooring is easy to care for, with weekly sweeping with a soft-bristled broom and a periodic dry mop, usually enough to keep your floors looking their best. Consult your Warranty, Installation, and Care guide for more information.
