Chateau Reserve French White Oak flooring
European countryside character for modern homes: French White Oak from sustainably managed, centuries-old forests, precision-milled with warm, creamy tones.
French White Oak
European heritage Oak, masterfully engineered for modern homes.
French Oak is prized for its high tannin content and warm undertones. Natural grain, sweeping figure and the occasional integrated knot give each plank the authentic look of an old European home.
