I read its oak with a gray tint stain, Trying to get the look, what exactly do I need to tell my flooring contractor? I have new unfinished red oak floors. Thanks. Dawn

Hi Dawn, Our installer provided a few samples based on what we were looking for. We actually found something we liked in a retail store and had them match it. Any installer should be able to make a few for you to chose from. Matching this exactly will be tough since our floor was 80 years old and yours is new red oak. Nonetheless, get some samples and pick the one you like!

Moss is correct. A good site finisher should be able to get you very close to this look. Several different samples should be expected.
