Tesoro Woods Chateau – French Oak Chantilly 7-1/2"

Chantilly is the refined, Select-grade color in the Chateau collection: a clean, pale blonde French oak with smooth, flowing grain and very few knots.

Frequently Asked Questions

How is Chantilly different from the other Chateau colors? Chantilly is Select grade, so it is much cleaner and more uniform than the Rustic and Light Rustic colors. It has very few knots and gentle color variation.

What color is Chantilly? A pale, natural blonde oak. It is light and fresh without looking whitewashed.

Why does Chantilly cost more? Select-grade boards with few knots are a smaller share of each log, so clean grades cost more than rustic ones.

Can Chantilly be installed in a basement? Yes. Chateau is engineered hardwood rated for above- or below-grade installation, and it can be glued down, nailed down, or floated. Follow Tesoro Woods' installation guidelines for subfloor moisture testing and prep.

Authentic French Oak, Built to Last

Every Chantilly plank has a thick 4mm sawn French oak wear layer on a solid cross-slat core, built in a stable 3-layer engineered format. The thick sawn face looks and feels like solid hardwood, and the cross-slat core resists the cupping and gapping that solid wood can show with seasonal humidity changes. A UV-cured matte finish protects the surface with a low-sheen, natural look.

Healthy, Responsibly Sourced Flooring

Tesoro Woods builds Chateau from 100% PEFC-certified material, with chain of custody documented from forest to jobsite. It is FloorScore and GREENGUARD Gold certified for low emissions, has no added urea formaldehyde, and is Lacey Act and Prop 65 compliant.
