If you order a whole box you can see a bigger section as a sample, and also not be distracted by the other colors right next to it. If the two colors look the same and you like both of them, it seems to me that you couldn't go wrong by choosing either of them.

Color is very subjective. Maybe there is some slight difference in the two that you can't discern but someone else could. Ultimately it doesn't matter what anyone else thinks, it's your house. Make sure it looks good with your furniture and wall color unless you're planning on buying new furniture and/or painting.

You will never IMO choose a flooring without seeing the samples in your house all the pics of someone elses house will not help. If you can buy a box of each and see them in your house with your lighting and there is no other way.

I have a sample board provided by the flooring professional…i have looked at it in my home…it just looks so similar. i understand what you are saying though about lighting and such. Do you by any chance know how similar they are? i have used bruce marsh in the past. This is Mullican Oak Pointe. i suppose i could ask him for a box of each

Anyone putting in white oak floors? Can I see pics?

Since no one has responded--I have 3" quarter sawn red oak floors if that helps. The main difference between the appearance of red oak and white oak (I'm no expert so I may be wrong) is the color (reddish tint as opposed to greenish/white tint) and the rays in white oak are longer on average than in the red. Also, there is a big difference between the look of quartersawn and regular sawn though, and it sounds like you are going with regular sawn so my pictures probably wouldn't help.

Bella Cera Oak flooring? Anyone heard of it?

My husband and I put Bella Cera Monza french oak flooring (color Adriana) in our home about a year before we decided to sell. We loved it because it was the only engineered flooring I could find that actually looks like authentic traditional wide plank solid hard wood. There's no sheen to give it away. In fact a RE agent who sees tons of homes asked if it was solid wood and our installer who does tons of floors said he wanted it for his home. We got lots of compliments. We love it so much that we plan to put it in our new home that we're currently building.

Thanks for the extra pictures! I don't remember seeing the name of NVG in our looking through the granite the other day--we were overwhelmed, I guess. I do seem to recall something similar. Later, at the kitchen place, we saw Santa Cecilia and liked that it seemed to have more veining than what I thought I'd liked at the granite place--Giallo Ornamental (if I'm thinking of the right piece), but I don't recall Santa Cecilia at the granite place either. Maybe it was in the more expensive aisle, of which we tried to steer clear. I appreciate the flooring info too, as I'm sure that's our next decision--or will it be the exterior? Thanks.

Yes, they had to sand it lightly and then carefully remove all dust and residue. I don’t get why you are buying this flooring to begin with though. I would never have bought it if I had known how poor the finish was and that the company didn’t care or stand behind their product. In the end, we spent much more than we would have if we had just bought a better product. There are quality wood and engineered floors out there. Why don’t you give them your business? I posted my experinece so that people could learn from my mistakes, not repeat them. 🙁

You can probably order a sample of anything you want. It will just be the small piece though, and will not be representative of the flooring if there is a wide variation in the floor (shouldn't be much of a problem with oak, but it can be with other species).

The sample prepared by your flooring professional and viewed in your home is your best sample.
