White oak flooring is a favorite choice for use in commercial spaces—from upscale offices to beautiful showrooms. Sustainability can mesh perfectly with style, if the proper flooring is chosen. Using white oak flooring brings the ambiance full-circle, and many hospital professionals and commercial developers find white oak flooring to bring durability, authenticity, and eco-consciousness to their interiors.
Choosing White Oak Flooring For A High-End Commercial Space
At WD Walls, sustainability is at the heart of everything we do. Offering both reclaimed woods and certified sustainable options, and our flooring options, including white oak flooring, are ideal for high-end commercial designs. It’s the right selection for spaces that need to bring a sense of exclusivity and refinement: especially luxury hotels, high-end restaurants, and offices with upscale clientele.
KEY FEATURES
A white oak flooring features the following, especially well suited for high-end commercial spaces:
- Sustainable Sourcing - The white oak we use at WD Walls is sustainably sourced—it’s certified by FSC and PEFC; 100% of the materials are responsibly harvested and ideal for even the most eco-conscious clientele.
- Durability/Longevity - High-traffic environments in restaurants and retail stores can often suffer from wear and tear. Using durable white oak flooring can help ensure the longevity of the luxe look our clients have chosen.
- On-Trend Aesthetic - Natural beauty never goes out of style. Oak is timeless, and white oak lends a modern touch to the aesthetic appeal of our beautiful flooring options. Luxury and sustainability both work in white oak to create a light and bright appealing surface.
GUEST GUARD
WD Wall’s Guest Guard flooring was designed precisely to rise to the occasion, withstanding the challenges of hospitality environments with superior durability while still bringing style and comfort to the space.
Unlike LVT or other material options, WD Walls’ Guest Guard flooring is made from real wood and is crafted for high-traffic use, especially in large-scale commercial projects.
High-Impact Spaces and High-Traffic Durability
Durability is always a question with flooring—how long will it withstand the regular, daily traffic before it begins to show signs of wear?
According to the American Hardwood Export Council (AHEC), white oak is strong, and is a “preferred hardwood species for structural applications.” As a hard and relatively heavy wood, with good compression strength, white oak is usually chosen because of its hardness—but the U.S.-grown white oak’s heartwood is also resistant to decay.
Used in floor applications for high-end designs, white oak flooring from WD Walls holds a variety of other features for its longevity, as well.
SCRATCH-RESISTANT AND RESILIENT
White oak engineered flooring is designed to resist scratches from heavy foot traffic—even resisting the wear and tear of notoriously destructive high heels and pet claws. The dense core of the engineered white oak resists denting and water absorption, and is highly rated for spaces that need both durability and aesthetic appeal.
10-YEAR COMMERCIAL WARRANTY
Flooring can be pricey and inconvenient to replace. Instead of replacing flooring every few years, developers and project managers choose white oak flooring that comes with our 10-year commercial warranty. This ensures the flooring will withstand daily wear and tear and provide the upscale look they hoped.
EASY MAINTENANCE FOR LARGE PROJECTS
Restaurants, hotels, and storefronts have both high foot traffic and regular movement. It’s more convenient to find a flooring solution that requires minimal upkeep rather than regular waxing and sealing. If a large-scale rollout is on your list, with hundreds of locations, choose a flooring option that will make maintenance easier to manage simultaneously—like white oak engineered flooring.
Environmental Side of White Oak Flooring
ENVIRONMENTALLY FRIENDLY
The white oak flooring we use is sourced sustainably and consciously crafted. WD Walls is committed to eco-friendly products in both where they come from, how they’re sourced, and the way they’re crafted. Among our reclaimed options is the classic white oak.
CERTIFICATIONS
Our white oak flooring goes through multiple certifications, and is FSC- and PEFC-certified. We know that many in the hospitality industry are seeking out vendors that align with their sustainable practices so they can clearly and transparently offer the best eco-conscious experience for their guests.
HEALTH AND SAFETY
Additionally, air quality is of critical concern in settings such as hospitals and medical spaces. To that end, our white oak flooring is NAUF and FloorScore Certified to ensure health and safety are prioritized in our products.
In healthcare facilities, higher education, and in fitness centers, cleanliness has become a top concern. Our white oak flooring contains antimicrobial properties that help resist the growth of bacteria, mold, and mildew—and can be wet-mopped with no damage to the finish or structure.
Style Sorted for Your High-End Commercial Project
STYLISH
White oak floors are effortless and chic, capturing a natural aesthetic to bring the serenity of the outdoors inside to your commercial space. Bold grain patterns and versatile finishes ensure a perfect balance of tradition and modernity.
COLOR AND FINISHES
Not keen on the lighter side of oak? There are plenty of color options available to match your vision, including Granite, Basalt, and Sand Stone. Plus, with unlimited grain combinations using both the heartwood and sapwood, you can tailor an exact custom look to fit the brand identity of your next project.
REAL WOOD
The wood is real here—and authenticity reigns. In hospitality, “wood-look” isn’t winning out. For authentic and unique materials that elevate your space, choosing real wood brings in character—and is something that amplifies the guest experience, setting the stage for even more authenticity in their experience.
The beauty of white oak flooring is not only in its appearance with tight, straight grains and medullary rays (or “tiger stripes”). White oak engineered flooring also provides ideal strength and longevity for interiors needing beauty and brawn.
Consider the sustainable sourcing and careful craft of our Guest Guard Commercial flooring, and you’ll find unforgettable style in your next commercial project. It’s built to meet your specifications at every turn: for quality, authenticity, sustainability, and beauty.
