Whats the difference between Red Oak  v/s White Oak? This is a very common question most of us come across especially when we are looking into Oak flooring for a commercial design project or a home remodel/renovation. Lets dive deeper in understanding the ways to differentiate between a Red Oak and White Oak floor along with what makes them different in terms of workability, cost and use. 

Wooden planks and panels are a great choice for a floor. But do not let that limit you from imagining additional creative uses of wood to accentuate the interior decor of your living spaces.

But here at Castle Bespoke, we think that you deserve a more sustainable product that not only does well on floors but can also be used to glamorize your walls and ceilings in an extra-ordinary way, unmatched to any other flooring products in terms of looks and feel.

The white oak tree (Quercus Robur/Petrea) is a long-lived tree used for shade in landscapes, and it is one of the most widely used timber species in the United States. White Oak tree is native to the Northern Hemisphere, and includes deciduous and evergreen species extending from cool temperate to tropical latitudes in the Americas, Asia, Europe, and North Africa.

If oak is the king of trees, as tradition has it, then the white oak, throughout its range, is the king of kings.”    - 20th century naturalist Donald Peattie
