Red oak installation and finishing

The goal was to replace carpet with red oak while keeping a consistent feel with hardwood already present in some rooms. The new installation was sanded and finished with those existing floors in mind.

The stain was a blend of 50% DuraSeal Golden Oak and 50% DuraSeal Golden Pecan. Three coats of Berger-Seidle AquaSeal GreenStar completed the finish.
