Frequently Asked Questions

What color is Saumur? A pale greige, a soft blend of light grey and beige. It is one of the lightest, coolest colors in the collection.

Will Saumur make a room feel bigger? Pale floors like Saumur reflect more light, so they can make smaller or darker rooms feel brighter and more open.

Is Saumur good with grey or white cabinets? Yes. Its greige tone goes well with white, grey, and light wood cabinetry.

Can Saumur 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 Saumur 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.
