Convert Red Oak to White Oak with One Coat.
Introducing Canlak OakShift™ — Red Oak Transformed.
A Problem the Industry Has Lived With for Years
White oak has become the finish everyone specs. It’s also gotten harder to source and more expensive to buy, with supply tightening every year. Manufacturers have been stuck choosing between what customers want and what’s actually available.
What OakShift Is
OakShift is a single-coat spray application that transforms the appearance of red oak, a readily available, lower-cost option, into the look of white oak. No bleaching, no multi-step process; just a more reliable material, finished to look like the one everyone’s asking for.
The Numbers Behind the Shift
- Red oak supply outpaces white oak by 50%
- Red oak costs 25% less than white oak
- One coat, quick-drying, low odor, and stainable
- Sprayable and compatible with your existing finishing line
- A dramatically safer alternative to old-school bleaching methods
See the Difference.
