While choosing what type of wood you want is partly an aesthetic decision, it’s important to pay attention to the durability and overall cost of each type of wood you’re considering, as it can differ quite substantially between species. Some of the more popular choices of wood species include: Red oak: A dense wood that resists wear well, this reddish hued wood is one of the most popular flooring choices in the United States. White oak: This hardwood has a similar grain as red oak, but is a beautiful brown, gray color. It’s also a harder and more durable than red oak. Pine: Another popular choice, pine has a warm yellow cast with beautiful swirls and knots. It’s often chosen because of its built-in resistance to insects. Birch: There’s quite a variation of color when it comes to birch wood, which makes it a unique hardwood choice. It’s a strong wood, but not as hard as white or red oak. Wood Floor Master
