8" White Oak Flooring Unfinished Solid Plain Sawn

Our 8" white oak flooring collection is designed for wide plank projects where natural grain, clean milling, and finish flexibility are essential. Milled from American white oak in unfinished solid construction, these planks allow full control over stain color, sheen level, and site applied finish systems.

Eight inch white oak delivers a modern, high end appearance with fewer seams and stronger visual continuity across open floor plans. Because wider boards are more sensitive to seasonal movement than narrow planks, proper acclimation, subfloor preparation, and an installation method matched to jobsite conditions are critical.

This collection is well suited for custom homes, renovations, and design forward residential spaces where wide plank hardwood is a key architectural feature. Browse available products below or request a quote for larger projects. Trade professionals may register for account based pricing.

Why Choose 8" White Oak Flooring?


Eight inch white oak flooring is commonly specified for modern and transitional interiors where scale, grain
variation, and visual continuity are priorities. The wider face highlights natural character while reducing the
number of board seams across the floor.

Unfinished Solid Wide Planks: What to Expect


Wide plank solid hardwood requires additional attention during installation. Proper acclimation, flat subfloors,
and the correct fastening method help manage natural expansion and contraction over time.

Grade Options and Natural Character


White oak grades influence appearance more than performance. Cleaner grades offer a more uniform look, while common
grades introduce knots, mineral streaks, and natural color variation that complement wide plank installations.

Plain Sawn vs Rift and Quartered


Plain sawn white oak displays broader cathedral grain patterns and organic movement across the board surface. Rift
and quartered material offers a tighter, more linear grain for projects that call for a more uniform appearance.

Understanding 8" White Oak Flooring Grades


Grade selection plays a major role in the final appearance of 8" wide plank white oak flooring.
While performance remains consistent across grades, the amount of natural variation increases as you
move from cleaner grades to more character-forward options. Reviewing grade differences helps ensure
the finished floor aligns with the design intent of your space.

Select & Better


Select & Better grade is chosen for projects that prioritize a clean, refined appearance.
This grade minimizes knots and heavy character, making it well suited for modern and transitional interiors
where wide planks act as a subtle architectural element rather than a rustic focal point.
