FAQs: What are Red Oak floor colors?

What are Red Oak engineered floors?

Engineered Oak floors at Carlisle are made with a top layer of Oak that is glued to multiple layers of a suitable plywood substrate, to create floorboards that are very resistant to changes in temperature and humidity. Red Oak engineered floors are ideal for installation below grade, on concrete slab or over radiant heat.

Can Red Oak floors be installed with a pattern?

Yes. Oak is an easy wood to work with, which makes it an excellent candidate for parquet floors. At Carlisle, our standard parquet products include Oak Chevron flooring, Herringbone flooring and Versailles patterns. Oak parquet floors may use stain to achieve alternating light and dark Red Oak floor colors, accentuating the detail of a pattern like White Oak Chevron flooring, for example.

Can Red Oak floors be textured?

Yes. Texturing is designed to give new floorboards the appearance of floors that were produced more than a century ago and that have been lived on for generations. Carlisle techniques for Oak floor texture include adding saw marks and other imperfections that are common to older floorboards, and reproducing the appearance of boards worn down by foot traffic and time.

Can Red Oak floors be stained easily?

Yes. Red Oak is a porous hardwood that excepts stain easily.

What are wide plank Red Oak floors?

Wide plank Red Oak floors use floorboards that are 4” to 20” in width and up to 12’ long. Standard commercial flooring uses floorboards that are much thinner and shorter, creating far more seams in the floor. Wide plank flooring gives a room a more spacious and luxurious feel and allows more of the personality of the wood to be revealed in the floorboards.

What are Red Oak floor colors?

The natural color of Red Oak has a pinkish or salmon hue that can be accentuated with a clear or amber finish. The wood may also be stained to produce Red Oak floor colors in a wide variety of hues.

What are Red Oak floors?

Red Oak floors are hardwood floors made with timbers from the Red Oak tree which grows in the eastern and central regions of the US and in south-central Canada.

A limitless selection of Red Oak floor colors

Many of our customers prefer natural Red Oak floor colors and choose to finish their floor with a clear or amber coat of stain that accentuates the red hues of the wood. This option allows the floorboards to tell their story as the floor ages and develops a natural patina over time.

Other customers prefer modern Oak flooring with colors that can only be achieved through stains. And at Carlisle, the options for trending wood floor colors are virtually unlimited. We offer a collection of classic stain colors that are among our most popular options – with everything from the dark and smoky Blacksmith stain to the “pumpkin pine” patina of Copper Mine or the Whitewashed Fence stain that transforms the wood without covering up its grain and character.

If you know the exact Red Oak floor colors you want, our Carlisle Custom Color system allows us to match it perfectly. Simply send in an item for us to match – a paint swatch, or a bit of fabric, linen or tile, for example – and our color matching system will create a stain that is uniquely yours. With Carlisle, you’ll never have to settle for a stain color that’s “almost” what you had envisioned.
