Characteristics of North American Red Oak
North American Red Oak, scientifically known as Quercus spp., is primarily found in the eastern regions of the United States and Canada. It has a density of approximately 0.63 and a hardness of up to 1,290 (PSI).
The sapwood of Red Oak typically ranges from white to light brown, while the heartwood is pinkish-brown in color. Growth rings are noticeable, slightly wavy, and the wood is heavy and hard.
Durable and Wear-Resistant: Flooring Material
American Red Oak is resistant to wear and tear, easily stainable, and can undergo processes such as deep staining, smoking, and wire brushing. Commonly used in residential and commercial spaces, it is a popular choice for solid wood flooring.
Long Drying Time with Excellent Machinability
American Red Oak undergoes a drying process of at least six months before leaving the factory, ensuring the wood's stability and increasing its dimensional stability. Therefore, Red Oak can be used in special treatments such as steam bending and deep processing.
Beautiful Grain and Strong Structure
After planing and painting, Red Oak exhibits excellent grain effects suitable for various indoor and outdoor applications, including furniture (bed frames, tabletops, chair frames, and cabinets), load-bearing structures in furniture, and interior wooden decorations. With proper treatment (such as preservation treatment and application of wood-specific varnish) and continuous maintenance, Red Oak with beautiful grain and good texture is also an excellent option for outdoor wooden flooring.
*Distinguishing between American Red Oak and American White Oak
Both types of oak belong to the same family and genus, with similar wood characteristics. Red Oak has shorter wood fibers and finer grain patterns compared to White Oak. The most significant difference lies in their appearance: Red Oak tends towards a pinkish hue, while White Oak leans towards a brownish-green color palette.
