Stain for Red Oak Hardwood Floors
Comments (1)Hire someone who can give you what you want. Staining hardwood is successful when an appropriate sanding schedule (grit sequence) is done and the floor water popped, if that is what the contractor decides will give you the look you're after. Once the floor is stained the color you want, then coat with a non-yellowing quality waterborne polyurethane. Ask for samples!...See MorePicture Request: Minwax gray stains on red oak hardwood?

Comments (13)Thank you so much everyone with your helpful information and suggestions. I might be over thinking the color coordination because I’m seeing some good ideas being posted! I love the idea of not painting my cabinets and wondered if it would be wasted money spent. I like the white oak flooring suggested…. I originally chose red oak only because of my inexperience in flooring materials but mostly because I thought to coordinate with the red in my cabinets I’d need a floor that had some red or warmth. I really do like the picture posted by Beth… red oak with bona Nordic seal....See Morereplacing floors with red oak hardwood - how do I pick a stain color
Comments (3)Get white oak, sand it....and put clear coat on it. The most forgiving to daily use, ever. Or stick to a medium brown tone, not gray, not red......and test ON YOUR SITE,.....select and proceed. : ) The difference in price will come back to you in saved agonizing over pink and red tones - hard to eliminate in any red oak. Failing that? Go to a very good flooring store, pick a quality engineered 3/4 inch thick white oak pre finished hardwood, ( from multiples of finishes ) and you'll know exactly what you're getting before you even rip....See MorePeter Shelton
