RADNOR
Texture variation: Smooth
RADNOR's warm honey-tan palette with soft amber undertones holds pale highlights that trace through the grain. Its gradually lightening coloration brings out the natural surface of North American Red Oak, to feel open, organic, and sun washed. With the gently weathered texture, RADNOR offers an approachable aesthetic for a variety of design intents.
