Oak Hardwood Flooring

Oak is the most popular tree-specie in hardwood flooring because of its hardness, and resistance to wear. Its durability also means that home owners can feel comfortable that their investment wont depreciate with time.

When it comes to oak selections, you can opt for the coarse-grain red oak, or white oak, with a light brown or grayish cast. You can find oak hardwood floors in both solid and engineered wood, made by just about every hardwood flooring manufacturer in the United States.

Mohawk Sheffield Oak offers engineered oaks in Natural, Golden, Autumn, Cherry, and Oxford colors with 3/8th inch thickness and 2 inches wide for the planks. Mohawks oak hardwoods can even be used in high-moisture areas such as a kitchen or the bathroom, a notion once unheard of in the hardwood flooring industry. Mohawks Sheffield Oak collection has a 25-year finish warranty, and a lifetime warranty for moisture protection and structure.

If you prefer solid hardwoods, Mohawk Belle Meade Oak is a similar collection to Sheffield Oak with both red and white oak species. Available in four colors, including Red Oak Natural, White Oak Natural, Oak Golden, Oak Butterscotch, and Oak Winchester. The planks come in a sleek 2 width with 3/4 inch thickness.

Shaw is another popular oak hardwood manufacturer with its Shaw Rustic Expressions Oak collection. The Rustic Expressions collection is perfect for the home owner who prefers a vintage, worn-look to a floor. It comes in three shades Philadelphia Oak, Settler Oak, and Connistoga Oak.

If you prefer something classic and elegant, consider Mohawk Rivermont Oak Hardwoods collection. Rivermont Oak Natural is a beauty, with a solid wood in a soft sable color. If you prefer something with a little more warmth, check out Rivermont Oak Saddlebrook. Both are offered in 2 wide planks with inch thickness, along with a 15-year finish warranty.

With whatever oak hardwood you decide to go with, its best to consult with a licensed hardwood floor retail and installation specialist. Some companies state that you must have professional installation in order to receive the full manufacturers warranty. Plus it ensures that your floor is installed correctly, making home renovation an enjoyable, hassle free experience for you.
