Frequently Asked Questions

Is Anderson Tuftex Heritage Oak real hardwood? Yes — it's engineered hardwood with a 3 mm real white oak veneer over a stable multi-ply core, which makes it more dimensionally stable than solid hardwood.

Can it go in a basement or over concrete? Yes. Heritage Oak is rated for above-, on-, and below-grade installation and can be glued down or floated over a properly prepared concrete slab.

Can I use it with radiant floor heating? Yes, Heritage Oak is approved for use over radiant heat systems.

What's the warranty? A 50-Year Hardwood Limited Residential Warranty.

Is it waterproof? No — like all real hardwood it isn't waterproof. Wipe up spills promptly; it's well suited to kitchens and powder rooms with normal care.

Wide-Plank Character & Timeworn Beauty

Heritage Oak draws on weathered landscapes and heritage materials. Reactive staining interacts with the natural tannins in the white oak, so every plank of Ember shows its own depth and variation, while the wire-brushed texture and 7% gloss UV oil finish give a soft, hand-rubbed look that helps disguise everyday wear.

Stable Construction & Flexible Installation

Engineered construction with a 3 mm white oak veneer lets Heritage Oak go where solid hardwood can't — above, on, or below grade, and over radiant heat. It can be nailed, stapled, glued, or floated, and random lengths up to 86.6" create a natural, custom-looking layout.
