I'm looking at solid oak flooring - there is white oak and red oak. What's the difference?

Red Oak comes from America and has a slight redish colour

'White' Oak is your normal standard European (or American Oak - althought that has more sapwood in it).

Thanks a lot for the clarification, I might well be spending plenty of time on this forum area over the next few weeks as I undertake this project, there is certainly a wealth of info to learn from.
