Frequently Asked Questions

What color is Dover? A light taupe-greige, a muted blend of beige, grey, and soft brown. Its dark knots give it contrast.

Is Dover warm or cool? It sits in the middle. The taupe base keeps it from reading cold, and the grey keeps it from reading yellow.

Does Dover show a lot of character? Yes. As a Rustic grade floor, Dover has visible knots, cracks, and heartwood and sapwood variation.

Can Dover 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 Dover 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.
