Natural Choice Strip Oak from Bruce Hardwood is a go-to solid hardwood floor for homeowners who want something clean, classic, and reliable. This collection features real red oak in a 2 1/4″ strip width that’s been trusted in American homes for decades. Whether you’re remodeling a single room or finishing a full home build, these floors deliver consistent quality and timeless appearance.
Each plank is prefinished with a protective topcoat that resists wear and helps reduce maintenance over time. And because the wood is solid oak—not engineered—you get the long-term benefit of a floor that can be sanded and refinished in the future if needed.

This collection includes a range of colors that work with both traditional and modern styles. A few of the most popular options include:
Amber: A warm golden tone that blends well with oak furniture and neutral palettes.
Butter Rum/Toffee: A rich mid-brown tone with subtle red hints—good for contrast or warmth.
Gunstock: A deeper reddish-brown shade that gives rooms a strong, traditional feel.
Start with your subfloor. This floor works best over wood subfloors using staples or glue.
Pick your color based on lighting and wall tones.
Order a little extra. Plan for 7–10% waste for cuts, corners, and pattern matching.
Measure carefully. Each box covers about 20 sq. ft. Be sure you’re calculating square footage, not just room dimensions.
Compare gloss levels. This line is typically low-gloss, which hides small scratches better than high-gloss finishes.
“You can’t refinish prefinished floors.”
You can. Because this is solid oak, it can be refinished multiple times. The factory finish just lasts longer before you need to.
“2 1/4″ strip is outdated.”
This size is still widely used in new homes and remodels. It gives rooms a clean, consistent look and works well in smaller spaces.
“All oak floors are the same.”
Not true. Bruce uses carefully selected wood and controlled milling for tight seams and consistent finishes. This helps prevent gapping and warping.
