White Oak Flooring
Sapwood of White Oak is a white to cream color while the heartwood is light brown with some boards having a pinkish to slight gray tint. Holding various stains well, the White Oak can be transformed into many different final color variations.
For a truly rustic or antique flooring we have Reclaimed Oak Flooring and Reclaimed European Oak Flooring. We also carry premium new European Oak Flooring sourced from sustainable European forests, offering exceptional character, wider color variation, and Old World grain patterns that complement American White Oak beautifully.
Our solid White Oak flooring is ideal for traditional nail-down installation over wood subfloors. For installations over concrete, basements, or with radiant heating systems, consider engineered White Oak flooring. Available in surface textures including hand scraped, wire brushed, hit or miss, and smooth sanded finishes. Choose any color from our extensive palette: natural clear coat, whitewash, grey tones, honey golden, medium brown, antique brown, or dark espresso.
