The Janka hardness test measures the resistance of wood to denting and wear by assessing the force required to embed a steel ball into its surface.

For oak hardwood flooring, knowing the Janka hardness rating helps you choose a product that suits your needs. At <\/span>Discount Floors 2U<\/b>, we offer a range of oak options, including both red and white oak sourced<\/u> from America and Europe, ensuring you find the perfect blend of style and durability for your space.
