Oak is often the hardwood timber of choice for flooring and it comes in two different types - Red Oak and White Oak.

Red oak is the most readily available and therefore more popular. It gives a reddish hue which is both aesthetically pleasing and gives warmth to internal decor.

Given the rise of contemporary minimalism, White Oak is growing in popularity - offering more dulcet tones of colour which combines well with neutral colour schemes.

Both types of oak can be stained to your choice of colour - giving some flexibility within your chosen colour scheme.

The benefit of using either type of oak flooring is it’s aesthetic appeal and durability.
