NORTHERN WHITE OAK HARDWOOD FLOORING
quercus alba
Our custom Northern White Oak flooring is thoughtfully sourced from Northern states of America. Our Northern White Oak flooring, along with all of our wide plank flooring is a live sawn cut. A live sawn cut applies a century-old technique that has long been the standard style of cutting logs in Europe. Live sawn milling is the result of straight cuts through the log, which allows us to get the most use out of each log. This is the most unique way to cut a log into hardwood flooring planks because it produces a mix of rift, quarter, and plain sawn woods. This type of milling highlights all the grain and character variations in each log and gives our customers an authentic and versatile product every time.
Most oak is very recognizable because of its distinctive and recurring grain. Our Northern White Oak consists of an interesting grain that is not so intrusive and has rich detail in all its many subtleties. Norhern white oak offers our clients limitless style and color options for their premium oak flooring. The clean canvas of the raw wood allows for individual interpretation, so each client can achieve a custom, one-of-a-kind design. Our wide plank Northern White Oak flooring includes a substantial amount of rift and quarter sawn boards that give it beauty and character, unlike any oak we have ever seen. It is a captivating wood rarely used, but because we developed a process to make this wood sing, this thoughtfully sourced wood species is now one of our most desired.

URETHANE FINISH
Our urethane is a commercial-level finish meant to withstand high traffic, spills, and your favorite furry friends.
A urethane finish is a surface level finish protecting the wood from the surface. Spills will not penetrate a urethane finish.
Our urethane is a water based finish with low VOC making it more environmentally friendly and less odorous than other solvent based alternatives on the market.
Overall this floor is going to require less maintenance; however, it will not wear with age as you would expect from an oil finish. View urethane finish color guide.
OIL FINISH
An oil is a penetrating finish; meaning it fills the pores of the wood until they are fully saturated. This finish protects the wood from within by penetrating the woods' fibers, effectively displacing water and preventing it from being absorbed. The surface of the wood does not have a protective layer like a urethane.
Overall this floor is going to require continued maintenance in the way of spot cleaning, refreshing and general care just like fine leather furnishings.
This floor presents an old world charm; offering a richer depth of color and aged patina over time. View oil finish color guide.
