French Oak Flooring Oak Tufeau
Oak Tufeau borrows its name from tuffeau, the soft cream limestone the Loire châteaux were built from — the stone that gives Chambord and Chenonceau their pale, chalky glow. The floor holds the same quality: a warm off-white with no grey in it, closer to stone than to bleached wood.
Light Rustic grade leaves knots and grain movement clearly visible, and on a colour this pale that is where the depth comes from. Without it, a very light oak reads as a painted surface; with it, the floor stays unmistakably timber.
Finished in oil, which bonds into the top fibres rather than building a film. The result is an open, chalk-matte surface entirely in keeping with the stone the colour is named for, and one that can be refreshed locally rather than refinished wholesale. A 9/16″ engineered core carries a 4 mm wear layer.
A natural choice for interiors with a French classical reference — panelled salons, orangeries, entrance halls with stone thresholds — and one of the most effective floors in the collection for making a room feel taller, because it throws daylight back up into the space.
