Types and Uses
Oak has been revered for centuries as a beautiful, extremely durable building material. While fashion trends come and go in interior design, the charm and warmth of wood endures.
Oak flooring adds sophistication to any room and complements homes from many eras and almost any type of furniture.
Solid wood flooring is pricey, but significantly increases a home’s value and desirability. A less expensive alternative is engineered wood flooring, which is booming in popularity, largely because it is the perfect partner for underfloor heating. This product involves a top layer of sawn oak bonded to a cross layer of a different wood, giving the floorboards great stability.
