Freshly installed 6", 8", 10" White Oak with a Pallmann White Magic Oil Finish. We installed this beautiful wood over an existing hardwood floor. The entire process took a little less than a week and completely changed the look of this home. The homeowner went with a white finish look to make the space appear larger and more open.
White Oak hardwood flooring ranges from nearly white sapwood to the tans and browns of heartwood. The creamy, soft colors of natural white oak flooring make a space feel light and airy, calm and serene. In a formal setting, this translates to a look of refined elegance. In a modern setting, the look is casual and unfussy.
Tighter, straighter grain
– The closely spaced growth rings of slower-growing white oak result in
a tight, straight grain pattern that gives white
oak hardwood flooring a satiny, smoother texture
that’s more uniform and less busy than red oak. The surface is also
distinguished
by longer, darker lines, or “rays” that add to
white oak’s attractiveness.
More durable
– White oak rates a higher 1360 on the hardwood hardness scale over red
oak’s 1290, making it slightly more durable. White
oak hardwood flooring may be a better option for
high traffic areas like entryways, hallways, and kitchens. Its
increased
durability means it can also better withstand
the possibility of dents, dings, and impact.
Oak floors have
always been in style, thanks in part to oak’s legendary beauty and
durability. One of the most attractive
traits of white oak hardwood flooring is that
it’s as endearing as it is enduring. Consider the unique qualities of
white
oak hardwood flooring and see how it can help
define the personality of your home.
