Vidar Flooring American White Oak 7" Engineered Hardwood

Most people choose engineered hardwood for the look and keep it for the stability, the part you only appreciate after a few Ontario winters.

In simple terms: Vidar Flooring American White Oak 7" pairs a real white oak top layer with an engineered core built for stability. It gives you a genuine wood floor that can go where solid planks cannot, and we carry and install it ourselves.

The wood and the build: It is real white oak, a cooler, more contemporary cast with a tighter grain than red oak, and a touch harder. White Oak sits around 1360 on the Janka hardness scale, right at the oak benchmark for everyday durability. It carries a 3mm dry-sawn wear layer, real sawn wood you can refinish like solid hardwood at least once over its life. The real advantage is underneath: a multi-ply core that stays flat through Ontario's dry winters and humid summers, where a solid plank would cup or gap. That is why it can go over in-floor radiant heat, places solid hardwood cannot. Planks run 7 inches wide, a wide-plank look that shows off the grain. A low-sheen matte finish keeps dust and footprints from showing. The planks have micro-bevelled edges, which frame each board and hide the slight height differences that come with real wood. Colours in the range include Silver Stone, Macaroon, Pearl, Wheat Berry, and Moon Light.

Our installers handle Vidar Flooring American White Oak 7" from subfloor moisture testing to the final trim, across the GTA, Barrie, and Simcoe County, with no subcontractors. Over concrete we typically glue down, over plywood we nail or float, and the prep is where the job is won. See the hardwood installation page.

Decision line: Vidar American White Oak 7" is the pick when you want real, refinishable wood that can still handle a slab, a basement, or radiant heat.

A small sample never shows how Vidar American White Oak 7" moves across a whole room.
