They can be refinished several times, which adds to their long life in your home. They don’t work well in damp areas or on concrete floors below ground level.
OAK:
The Clear type of Oak has no visual blemishes or knots and is quite expensive. While the Select and Better qualities have some small knots and a little dark graining.
