Why Choose Rift & Quartered White Oak Flooring?
Rift and quartered white oak is produced by sawing logs at specific angles to emphasize straight grain and medullary
ray fleck while minimizing tangential movement. Compared to plain sawn flooring, this cut offers improved dimensional
stability and a more uniform appearance.
4" Width Performance
The 4" plank width delivers consistent performance across a wide range of environments. When paired with
rift and quartered sawing, this size helps reduce expansion and contraction while maintaining clean, linear plank lines.
Unfinished Solid Hardwood Benefits
Unfinished solid white oak allows for on-site finishing, giving full control over stain color, sheen, and finish
system selection. Rift and quartered material responds especially well to natural and light stains that enhance grain
definition.
Available Grades in This Collection
This collection includes Select & Better for the cleanest appearance, #1 Common for subtle natural variation,
and Character grade for more visible organic features—while still benefiting from the straight grain of rift and
quartered sawing.
