Red Oak vs White Oak
We offer both premium red oak and white oak flooring. Which one is right for your home? While the two species are similar, some subtle differences can make all the difference for you. Here’s what to expect from each:
White Oak
White oak has a very smooth look to it. The grain is less pronounced, which can make it look a bit more modern and less rustic. White oak is slightly harder than red oak and also a bit more water resistant.
Red Oak
People who love red oak embrace the more pronounced grain patterns that give it a truly natural appearance. It also has a slight pinkish tint to it and is a little bit lighter than white oak. Because of its more pronounced grain, red oak isn’t as smooth as white oak, and for that reason, it can trap water and be slightly less water resistant. But that same graining can make scratches and dents less visible.
Both varieties are very durable and can be stained to offer improved water resistance and the lightness/darkness that you want. There is not a major price difference, either. At Anderson Flooring, we pride ourselves on educating our customers in their flooring options. We’d be happy to help you discover which oak flooring option would be best for you.
