Acorn solid oak plank, a solid 3/4" premium grade oak floor. When it comes to solid Oak flooring, many grades are available. Although surprisingly comparable in price to #1 or #2 "common grade" oak floors, the Acorn series proudly features "Select" grade oak. For over a century, the term "Select" has been an official grading term for wood floors. Its simple origin began in earlier times with mill workers who would "select" and separate freshly cut planks from the most preferred parts of the logs. These specially chosen planks were then used in the manufacturing process to produce the preferred "Select Grade" floors. The tradition continues with the Acorn Select Solid Plank series.
Acorn Select is in stock and available in many popular tones.

Today's No-Wax prefinished floors install with no sanding mess, no chemicals and are simple to maintain.

The preferred slightly wider 3 1/4" profile and traditional random length planks make this floor a sure fit.
