Red Oak
Open-grained American hardwood with a warm reddish cast - a classic timber that reads refined, takes stain beautifully, and anchors a room with timeless character.
Classic, warm, honestly refined
Red Oak is the most familiar hardwood in the range. Its warm reddish-brown heart and open ring-pore grain give walls a timeless, almost architectural rhythm – a character that reads classic rather than rustic, formal rather than casual, and welcomes stain and finish readily.
A dense, ring-porous hardwood from northeastern North America, Quercus rubra brings weight and architectural grain to a wall – takes paint, stain and oil exceptionally well, and anchors interiors with timeless, formal character.
The beauty is in the grain
Red Oak's open ring pores aren't just texture - they're the signature. Each visible pore line and bold grain figure tells you the panel is real, solid hardwood with structure, giving walls the honest, architectural character that defines the Scandinavian and rustic-modern look.
Verified timber characteristics
Species data: The Wood Database (Quercus rubra). Figures are standard for the species at 12% moisture content.
Responsibly sourced hardwood
FSC-sourced forests
Our Red Oak is sourced from certified sustainably-managed forests in the northeastern United States, where oak growth outpaces harvest.
Carbon-locking density
Being a dense hardwood, each board stores more carbon per cubic foot and takes less energy to transport and handle than dense hardwoods - real wood, lower impact.
100% real timber
No plastics, no WPC - just solid, natural red oak that can be refinished and, at end of life, returns to the earth.

Red Oak is a hardwood – dense, hard-wearing, and ring-porous, which gives it its distinctive open grain character and makes it accept stain and finish beautifully. That open-pore structure is exactly what gives it its grain character and makes it take stain and finish beautifully. For weather-exposed walls, ask us about thermally modified Thermo Red Oak.
