Engineered oak flooring dominates US and European imports. Species popularity, finish trends, and why buyers choose oak over other woods.
Oak = The Safest and Most Profitable Stock Item
If you can only stock one species, engineered oak flooring is the answer across almost all export markets.

✅ Grain variety: Quarter-sawn, plain-sawn, rift-cut options

✅ Wide availability: Raw veneer supply is stable, no long lead time spikes
