Decisions abound when selecting just the right floor for the rooms in your home. There are several species, colors and grain variations to consider. After walls, the floor represents the largest expanse of pattern and color in a room.
The floor should compliment the fabrics, furnishings and accessories of the space, and enhance the unique personality of the room as a whole. Oak flooring, maple flooring and cherry flooring are all good choices. Other species include bamboo (which is actually a grass), walnut, ash and mahogany. For more exotic species, such as teak, jarrah and mesquite you'll pay a little more.
The best hardwood floors are made with wood species that are readily available and very hard. Another option is reclaimed hardwood flooring, salvage flooring is an especially good choice if you’re renovating an older house.
The sapwood of red oak is white to light brown and the heartwood is a pinkish-reddish brown. The wood is similar in general appearance to white oak, but with a slightly less-pronounced figure due to the smaller rays.
The wood is mostly straight-grained, with a coarse texture.
The sapwood is light-colored and the heartwood is light-to-dark brown. White oak is mostly straight-grained with a medium-to-coarse texture. Having longer rays than red oak, white oak has more figure.

Sapwood is gray-white; heartwood is salmon red to orange-brown when fresh, and becomes russet or reddish brown when seasoned; often marked with dark streaks.
The sapwood is a creamy white with a slight reddish brown tinge, and the heartwood varies from light to dark reddish brown. The wood has a close, fine texture and is generally straight-grained.

Heartwood ranges from a deep, rich dark brown to a purplish black. Sapwood is nearly white to tan.
Difference between heartwood and sapwood color is great; some flooring manufacturers steam lumber to bleed the darker heartwood color into the sapwood.
Heartwood is tan or reddish; sapwood is white to cream, with fine brown lines. There are often pronounced differentiations in color between spring wood and summer wood.
