Quartersawn oak flooring, specifically wide plank quartersawn white oak flooring is recognized as some of the most stable, beautiful flooring in the world. Reclaimed oak is often used in radiant floor heating.

The art of quarter sawing oak, or quartersawn, like many superior practices of the past, has been replaced with plain sawing techniques that are easier, cheaper, and quicker, that produce a lower grade lumber.

Quarter sawn oak is a perfect choice for radiant heat flooring. Radiant floor heating using solid quartersawn oak flooring has always been a good selection for stability, especially when installing floor boards wider than 4 inches.

White oak was the wood of choice for building many of the barns, homes and buildings of our early American history. It is a very strong stable wood that resists rot and wear, particularly when quarter sawn. (quarter sawn floor)

The white oak beams and lumber that are reclaimed from these old American structures is dry, old dense, tight grained, and beautiful, with an aged, rich patina and a fleck character that is unmatched in any other wood.
