White Ash is legendary for its combination of strength and elasticity. Historically used for making baseball bats and tool handles, its ability to absorb shock makes it an incredible material for residential flooring. A solid white ash floor offers a bold, sweeping grain pattern similar to Oak, but in a lighter, creamier color spectrum that brings a crisp, energetic feel to any interior.
Botanical Name: Fraxinus americana
Janka Hardness Scale: 1,320 lbf (Comparable to White Oak)
Origin: Sustainably sourced from Eastern North America.
Tree Characteristics: Ash trees are large, stately hardwoods known for their “diamond-patterned” bark and their exceptionally straight-grained timber.
Resilience: Because of its long fibers, Ash has a unique “give” that other dense hardwoods lack. This makes it more comfortable to walk on for long periods while remaining hard enough to resist heavy wear and tear.
