Natural Red Oak Engineered

We like them because:

• THEY LOOK GREAT: This floor is wire brushed oak, Character Grade, and finished with an Ultra-Matte, UV urethane coating.
• GOOD FOR THE PLANET: Engineered floors use less tree-per-plank than solid hardwood floors.
• GOOD FOR YOU: Because Engineered floors are made without fibres or grout lines unlike carpet or laminate/tile, there's no place for allergens or dust/debris to accumulate in your floor.
• EASY TO INSTALL: Install above, on, or below grade, or over Hydronic Radiant Heat Systems, with a nail-down, glue, or floating installation.
• PROTECTIVE WARRANTIES: Backed by a 25 Year Residential Warranty.

What are the Installation Options for This Flooring?

It can be installed using nail-down, glue-down, or floating methods, depending on your subfloor and room conditions.

Is Red Oak Natural Engineered Flooring Durable Enough for High-Traffic Areas?

Yes. Red oak is a strong and dense hardwood, and when combined with a multi-layer engineered core and UV urethane finish, this flooring holds up well in high-traffic areas like living rooms, hallways, and entryways. The wire-brushed surface also helps conceal everyday wear and minor scuffs.

Does this Flooring Require Underlayment?

If you're doing a floating installation, an underlayment is recommended to help with sound absorption and moisture protection. For nail-down or glue-down installations, underlayment may not be necessary but moisture barriers may still be advised – especially on concrete subfloors.

How Do I Maintain Red Oak Natural Engineered Flooring?

Maintenance is simple. Sweep or vacuum regularly to remove dirt and grit, and clean with a hardwood-safe cleaner. Avoid excessive moisture and never wet-mop. The ultra-matte urethane finish adds protection, reducing the need for frequent deep cleaning.

Grade/Texture: Elite/Select and Better Grade / Smooth

What are the grades of engineered hardwood? We offer three grades of engineered hardwood, which vary based on natural imperfections in the wood itself:

• Elite: Mostly heartwood that is free of large knots and defects for a clean appearance.
• Character: Some small knots, and larger filled knots, with some natural colour variation.
• Rustic: Includes large, filled knots and a lot of natural colour variation. May contain sap lines (lighter streaks) that run throughout the floor
