Light beige and blonde hues give these white oak floors a bright and clean aesthetic. With 7.5-inch width planks, this flooring has a refined look that enhances any modern design and creates the feeling of open spaces. Wire-brushed texturing offers an established feel that integrates naturally into your home. White oak is known for being a strong wood. On the Janka scale, which compares the hardness of different woods, it ranks 1360—indicating a strength that stands up to everyday life. The planks are also finished with a premium finish. This protects the floors from damage without hindering their visual appeal.  You can enjoy this new flooring on any level of your home—including the basement. Experienced DIYers can complete this installation on their own, or you can opt to take it easy and hire professional installation using a click process and glue. Mix up the planks before installation to showcase the natural variation and beauty of the hardwood. We recommend laying it with an approved underlayment over a wood subfloor for sound reduction and overall improved installation quality. And for a concrete subfloor, use a premium moisture mitigating adhesive. Post-installation, maintaining your floor will involve a simple regimen of sweeping or vacuuming (with no beater bar or harsh bristles) and an occasional cleaning with Bellawood Cleaner. With regular maintenance, your new floors will stay beautiful and stand up to everyday life. Remember that lighting makes all the difference! Your flooring, as a result, may look different in your home than it does online.
