Finoak Flooring
Engineered Hardwood Flooring
Oak is one of the most popular species for hardwood flooring as it is a very hard, heavy, open-grained wood with prominent rings and large pores that allow it to stain well in any color.
Finished in smooth or wire brushed which gives floors that aged, distressed look. Finoak is available in a variety of sizes, thickness & surface finishes with a 25 year manufacturer’s warranty.
Wood Grading
Each tree is unique and different parts of the same tree produce different surface textures and appearances. We import 3 grades of flooring, Clear, Nature and Rustic.
The Clear grade is selected from the fine grain wood found around the center coreof the log where there are no knots, each tree produces fewer clear grade planks.
Nature grade natural character has both dark and light variations with a visible increase in knots and pinholes.
Rustic grade is manufactured from the outer parts of the core where branches attach and is full of character and visibly more knotty.
Wood Finish
Smooth planks are finished with a fine sand paper that closes the pores and grain. Smooth finishes are inclined to show dents and scratches. Best suited for use in sitting and formal dining areas with low foot traffic.
Brushed planks are rough wire brushed with long strokes to accentuate the grain of the wood and leave the grain of the planks open to absorb the surface treatment and stain.
