Choosing the wood for your Versailles flooring
Your selection of hardwood is one of the most important decisions you’ll make for your Versailles pattern wood floor. At Carlisle, we offer 10 species of hardwood with different personalities and coloration.
- Ash is a dense and durable wood with unique meandering grain patterns and hues that run from cream to blonde to rich nutty brown.
- Birch offers color that ranges from rich reddish-brown to warm amber and blonde, and features grain patterns with everything from subtle swirls to flame-like effects.
- Brown Maple features subtle and consistent grain patterns with colors of rich brown, gold and amber.
- White Maple features strikingly beautiful grain patterns with cleaner and lighter hues that provide a more neutral palette.
- Cherry boasts deep red tones that darken to a burnished auburn color as the wood ages, along with subtle but distinctive flowing grain patterns.
- Hickory is an extremely tough hardwood with hues that range from cocoa brown to beige in the heartwood, with lighter blonde sapwood that is perfect for contemporary styles.
- White Oak is a light, nutty brown wood with dramatic grain features that range from simple and sleek to intricate swirls. Many customers choose White Oak grown in America’s finest forests as an alternative to Versailles European White Oak flooring.
