French Oak Flooring Oak Natural 1 Versailles
French oak in its own colour, laid as a Versailles panel. No stain, no tinting, no correction — only the wood, brought up by the finish. Of all the panels VOGUE Parquet® makes, this is the one that shows the material most honestly, and the one that will amber slowly over the years exactly as parquet de Versailles has done since the seventeenth century.
Each panel measures 31 1/2″ × 31 1/2″ (800 × 800 mm) and is custom made in Belgium: solid or engineered, 5/8″ or 3/4″, with a wear layer between 5 and 8 mm. That depth is what makes a panel like this generational — it can be sanded and refinished many times over, so the floor outlives the room it was specified for.
Every colour in this programme is offered in three ranges. Range 1 is heavily wire brushed, with an undulated surface, deeper marks and rounded edges that give the panel the presence of a floor which has genuinely aged. Range 2 is very lightly brushed for a planed, contemporary finish that keeps the colour and quiets the texture. Range 3 is aged and distressed with chipped edges, where shade differences and the discoloration around the knots give every panel a character of its own.
Oak Natural 1 Versailles is the specification for clients who want the material itself, and for architects who need a floor that will not compete with a strong palette elsewhere. It is also the easiest colour to live with over decades: an undyed floor cannot fall out of fashion. The same colour is made in plank, chevron and herringbone, so the panel can continue into adjoining rooms without any change of tone.
