RQ Floors is a multigenerational family-owned business with a broad range of industry experience. When we make our products, we control the process from end to end. And because no two spaces are exactly alike, a flooring expert should always get involved to help guide the design process. There are thousands of hardwood flooring products on the market.

What does “RQ” stand for?

RQ stands for Rift & Quartersawn. Rift & Quartersawn Oak is highly regarded as the most dimensionally stable cut of lumber, which in turn, becomes the most dimensionally stable hardwood flooring option. When we began our practice over a decade ago, we saw a market heavily penetrated with Plainsawn Oak flooring products, and very little focus on the benefits of Rift & Quartersawn flooring. 

Here at RQ Floors, we wholeheartedly believe that a product should be manufactured to be the best version of itself. We are committed to working with specialty lumber suppliers that understand the benefits of strong hardwood flooring products, made stronger with innovative technologies, a bit of our secret sauce. Rift & Quartersawn White Oak flooring is 40% more dimensionally stable than Plainsawn White Oak flooring. This is due to the orientation of the grain and its inherent properties. When moisture is introduced to Rift & Quartersawn grain, the movement pushes moisture “up”, versus Plainsawn, where the movement pushes moisture “out”. This translates into the direction that each plank of flooring expands, which in turn creates gaps (in the winter) and cupping (in the summer). 

It’s also important to consider the region, i.e. will the flooring be installed at a waterfront property? Or maybe directly over a concrete slab? We have dedicated our practice to serve the needs of different regions. With that, we are committed to educating our clients to understand when it is best to specify a wide width engineered Plainsawn White Oak hardwood floor, and when it is best to specify solid or engineered Rift & Quartersawn White Oak. We can take your vision and make it a reality.
