Bleached red oak flooring

3 years ago

Our floors are currently red oak with a very bright orange/yellow look to them (they’re about 20 years old). We plan to refinish them when we replace the carpet in our living room with hardwood. I’m hoping for a light/coastal look and have read bleaching them can eliminate any pink in the red oak. Our PM also mentioned water based poly is the way to go. Anyone have experience bleaching red oak coupled with water based poly? Or has anyone taken a different route to get a nice light look with red oak? Any insight/pics would be appreciated!
