Oak Flooring Installation in O Fallon, MO

Red and white oak are the default American hardwood for good reasons: widely available, reasonably priced, and at around 1290 on the Janka scale hard enough for a family home without paying for exotic species.

White oak is slightly harder than red, and more importantly it takes stain far more evenly. Red oak carries a pink undertone that shows through lighter finishes and fights grey and white-washed colours no matter how many coats go on. That is the single most common surprise on a stain job, and it is entirely avoidable by choosing the species to suit the colour.

Oak's open grain hides dents better than a smooth close-grained wood, which is why it ages gracefully rather than showing every mark.
