White Oak also know as American White Oak is valued for its density, strength and resiliency and because of its closed cellular structure is preferred for use in furniture, martial arts weapons and interior finishes including hardwood flooring. The White Oak is very resistant to insect and fungal attacks because of its high tannin content. It also has very appealing grain markings making it a great choice for flooring.
Enhanced Hardwood Flooring is composed of a solid wood surface layer, a solid quarter sawn hardwood core and an engineered quarter sawn hardwood lamella backing layer. This design minimizes expansion and contraction due to humidity, which makes the wood less likely to experience moisture and warping problems. The result is an extremely stable product available in wider widths while still maintaining the natural beauty of a solid hardwood flooring.
