The light, airy look of Ash Golden Oak can open a space up and give off a modern vibe. Though ash is similar in appearance to white oak or hickory, its color contains a bit more yellow. The sapwood is a light, creamy color, while the heartwood ranges from light tan to deep brown. The grain pattern of ash is bold and straight, with occasional waves. The classic cathedral grain in plain sawn boards is evidence of the growth ring after the board is sawn.

Ash flooring is an excellent choice if you are in the market for flooring with exceptional durability and resistance to foot traffic. It’s no coincidence that ash is the most common wood species used in MLB-regulation baseball bats! Since this wood can withstand a 99 mile-per-hour fastball, it can endure almost anything. Ash is the perfect solution for those concerned with humidity and temperature fluctuations—with a 9% increase in durability over northern red oak.

A rare triad of hardness, dimensionally stability, and smooth appearance, ash wide plank flooring is the perfect solution!
