3 1/4" Red Oak sanded and finished with a custom grey blend stain and 3 coats Bona Traffic HD semi-gloss water based polyurethane.
The challenge with these Red Oak floors was taking them from a dark Jacobean stain to a light grey without bleaching the wood. It is often difficult to go from dark to light because stain that is down in the spaces in between boards is difficult to sand out completely. In this case, thankfully there wasn't a ton of stain used on the old floors, and we were able to get them sanded totally clean. The clients were thrilled with our work -- their house is so much brighter and more contemporary!
