Roasted Hardwood Flooring
Roasted Hardwood flooring has characteristics of the Red Oak, Soft Maple or Yellow Birch tree. Red Oak, Soft Maple and yellow birch while drying are “torrified”. In the kiln oxygen is removed at high temperature causing the wood to roast. The resulting color is a fairly uniform brown. Unlike a floor stained to a brown color, the color is consistent through the board. The grain is fine and less defined.
