Color groups are a guide: undertones shift with daylight and lamps, and one plank can sit in two groups. Pick up a free sample and look at it on your own floor.
European oak is a white oak: calm, tight grain that takes natural, pale and gray finishes evenly. Red oak is warmer, with a pink-tan cast and bold open grain that hides everyday wear. Both are hard, proven flooring woods.
The layer of real oak on top of the board. It sets how many times the floor can be sanded and refinished: about 2 mm allows a light refinish, 3 to 4 mm allows full ones. It is the difference between a floor you keep for decades and one you replace.
Plank width. Wider boards show more grain and make a room calmer; every board we stock is wide plank, 7 inches and up. Lengths are 75 or 87 inches, so rooms take few end joints.
Materials per square foot. Installation by our crews in the Sacramento area adds $4.35 per sqft; removal, baseboard and stairs are priced per room.
A collection is one spec (thickness, wear layer, width) in several colors. Mixing colors from one collection keeps the floor height and feel identical between rooms.
No colors match all of these filters.
Nailed, glued or floated?
Tongue and groove boards slot together along the edges and are fastened to the subfloor: nailed over plywood, glued over concrete. It is how hardwood floors have been installed for a century, and it gives the most solid feel underfoot.
A fastened floor feels and sounds like solid wood, with no give between the boards and the subfloor. Over a wood subfloor our crews nail; over a concrete slab they glue after a moisture test. The method goes on the estimate before work starts.
We stock tongue and groove oak in three builds: KONO Sonoma (14 mm, 2 mm wear layer), KONO Heritage red oak (15 mm, 3 mm) and KONO Grand (3/4 inch, 4 mm, 9-1/2 inch wide). Installed, tongue and groove hardwood starts at $9.34 per sqft in the Sacramento area.

Tongue and groove questions, answered straight.
Is tongue and groove better than click?
It feels more solid and is the traditional standard. Click is faster and floats over concrete without glue. Both can be refinished.
Can tongue and groove engineered hardwood go over concrete?
Yes, glued down after the slab passes a moisture test. Our estimate includes the test.
Can I install tongue and groove hardwood myself?
Nail-down needs a flooring nailer and practice; glue-down is messy and unforgiving. Most homeowners hire it out.
