Part of Lauzon's Expert Décor Collection, Vela in Red Oak delivers the same warm, inviting tone as the maple version but with considerably more grain character — Red Oak's distinctive cathedral grain pattern adds depth and visual movement that makes every room feel lived-in and genuinely warm.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eLauzon has been manufacturing premium Canadian hardwood flooring since 1985. The Exclusive grade delivers a mostly even-looking surface with only slight natural colour variation, occasional very small sound knots, and minimal mineral streaks — giving you the character of real Red Oak without the visual busyness of a lower grade. Finished with Lauzon's Polynium+ Titanium surface coating with antimicrobial PermaClean technology and an ultra-matte sheen, this floor is as practical as it is beautiful — highly scratch-resistant, easy to maintain, and free of harsh chemicals.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eProduct Specifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n  \u003ctbody\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLauzon\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCollection\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eExpert Décor — Exclusive\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSpecies\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRed Oak\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eColour\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eVela\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWidth\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e4¼\" (108mm)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThickness\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e¾\" (19mm) Solid\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLength\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRandom Length (RL), 12\"–72\"\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCoverage\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e17 sqft per box\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFinish\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePolynium+ Titanium \/ Antimicrobial PermaClean\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGloss Level\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eUltra-Matte\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSurface\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSmooth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eEdge Profile\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e4-Sided Micro-V\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eInstallation\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNail or Staple Down\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSuitable Subfloors\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePlywood (above or on grade only)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOrigin\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMade in Canada\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWarranty\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e35-Year Residential Finish Warranty\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSKU\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e3757\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy Choose Lauzon Exclusive Red Oak Vela?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRed Oak is the most popular hardwood flooring species in Canada for good reason — its open, cathedral grain is expressive and warm in a way no other domestic species can replicate. The Vela stain complements that grain perfectly: warm enough to feel welcoming, neutral enough to work across a wide range of furniture colours and cabinetry finishes. It's a particularly versatile choice for main floor living areas, hallways, and open-concept spaces throughout Scarborough, Pickering, Whitby, and the eastern GTA where traditional hardwood aesthetics remain the standard.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWhat sets this listing apart from a standard oak floor is the combination of grade and finish. The Exclusive grade keeps the surface calm and consistent — enough natural character to feel authentic, not so much that the floor competes with the rest of the room. The ultra-matte finish eliminates glare entirely, letting the warmth of the wood tone come through without reflection. And because this is solid ¾\" hardwood, it can be sanded and refinished multiple times over its lifetime — something no laminate or vinyl alternative can offer. For homeowners in the GTA who want a floor that will outlast multiple renovations, solid Red Oak Vela is a smart, long-term investment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is a solid ¾\" hardwood and must be nailed or stapled to a plywood subfloor.
