American Red Oak is as traditional as it gets. Since the 1800s, it has arguably been the most popular choice for hardwood flooring in the U.S., and it remains very widely used.
However, homeowners these days don’t always go for the traditional look. While American Red Oak will always have a timeless quality, we can create some amazing “non-traditional” looks with it.
American Red Oak has a pronounced, coarsely textured grain and a natural blondish color with reddish-pink undertones. It looks great with a clear finish to show off its natural character, but it is also easily stained.
It resists cupping or gapping better than many species—and it’s hard, which makes it ideal for floors that will see a lot of activity. The prominent grain helps hide any dents that do occur, as well as any scratching of the finish. 
With a classic appearance, good durability, and moderate price, American Red Oak hardwood floors are an excellent value.
