Hildene takes Red Oak into rich copper-brown territory — a stain that deepens the species' warm base and lets its bold, open grain carry the show. Variation grading moves colour naturally from board to board across the 7 1/2" width, and the brushed, matte-lacquered face keeps the finish soft and traditional rather than glossy.
The Estate Collection build is North American through and through: a 15 mm (5/8") plank with a 3 mm Red Oak wear layer over a stable Red Maple plywood core and a classic tongue-and-groove profile. That means nail-down, glue-down, or floating installation, with two to three re-sands available over the floor's life. Radiant heat approved, 25-year US residential warranty.
