The grain of White Oak is similar to that of Red Oak. Its color ranges from light creamy beige to grayish brown. White Oak will undergo moderate color changes overtime, taking on a slightly amber tone. It is essentially a straight-grained wood with a medium to coarse texture and longer rays than Red Oak. To maintain the wood's elegance for many years, Mirage applies a UV protector at the finishing stage.

The sapwood of White Oak is almost white, while the heartwood is grayish brown. White Oak used in the production of Mirage Floors is from North America.
