White Oak is a common wood flooring used in many homes for its natural beauty and exceptional durability. The surface of white oak floors is a satiny, smoother texture that’s more uniform and less busy than red oak, with closely spaced growth rings that are longer, darker lines that compliment its pattern. Its increased durability allows it to better withstand the possibility of dents or impacts, making it ideal for high traffic areas like entryways, hallways, or kitchens.
