Oak wood floors and water resistance

Question

Are oak wood floors water-resistant?

Peter · Accepted Answer

Unless treated suitably, all wood spoils due to water exposure over time. Being a hard wood, oak would survive longer.

Marius · Answer

No, hardwood flooring is not waterproof. Both engineered wood flooring and solid wood flooring can be water resistant to small amounts of water or liquid spillages, but they are in no way waterproof so any liquids should be wiped away from the surface of your flooring straight away.
