Q & A

Red Oak Flooring: Q & A

Q: I've had my Red Oak hardwood flooring for a while now, and I've noticed that the color is darker than what it used to be when first installed. Why is that?

A: Red Oak hardwood flooring, like other hardwood, is prone to change in color over time. It's a natural product; color variation is inevitable, it's a part of the natural process. Color change occurs in all grades of flooring, and is sped up by the exposure to sunlight. If the color change is bothersome to you, there are two ways to achieve a consistent color across each wooden board: 1) select each piece individually for installation, or 2) apply a stain. Red Oak takes stain very well.
