Information about ash floors

Ash

Ash’s sapwood is almost white and the heartwood ranges from grey through light brown to light yellow with brown streaks. It has a bold, straight, moderately open grain with occasional wavy figuring. Some grades have very special figuring, which gives the floor an entirely unique and lively character. Ash undergoes a medium degree of change over time from a lighter freshly sanded tone to a straw/tan colour. Ash is approximately 10% harder than Oak.
