5″ Quarter Sawn Select & Better Unfinished Solid White Oak Flooring

Description

This 5 Inch Quarter Sawn White Oak Flooring exhibits a very tight grain that is aesthetically unique because of the medullary rays that are sprinkled into the grain throughout the hardwood, and it is structurally unique because of the dimensional stability that all quarter sawn lumber inherently possesses.

Quarter Sawn White Oak is defined as white oak that has been cut between 60 – 90 degrees across the growth rings of the white oak log. Flooring is made from quartersawn white oak lumber because it is far superior to plain sawn lumber, because of the way this special lumber reacts to changes in it’s surrounding climate.

Plain sawn white oak expands and contracts horizontally (side-to-side), while quarter sawn lumber does not (it’s movement is minimal, and is vertical), making quarter sawn white oak flooring a more suitable choice whenever there are concerns about your local climate being suitable for solid hardwood flooring. Keep in mind that even quartersawn hardwood has it’s limitations, so be sure to consult a local wood flooring professional before installing any hardwood flooring in your home or business.

This Quarter Sawn White Oak hardwood flooring features tongue and groove milling on both sides and both ends, and measures 3/4 Inch thick, 5 Inch wide and features random lengths up to 7 feet long.
