Tesoro Woods French Oak Herringbone – Claire 4-3/4"

Claire is the lightest color in the collection: a pale, silvery white-washed French oak with a soft cool cast and gentle grain. In herringbone, its 4-3/4" x 23-5/8" slats create a classic chevron-style zigzag that adds pattern and movement to any room. A matching 5" straight plank is available in the same color.

Frequently Asked Questions

What color is Claire? A pale silver-white, the lightest color in the collection, with a soft cool (greyish) white wash.

Will a pale floor show dirt? Very light floors can show tracked-in dirt sooner than mid-tones. The light wire-brushed texture helps hide small scuffs between cleanings.

Is there a matching straight plank? Yes. Claire is also available as a 5" wide French oak plank in the same color, so you can run herringbone in one room and planks in the next, or frame a herringbone field with planks.

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

Real French Oak Herringbone, Built to Last

Claire herringbone comes as 4-3/4" x 23-5/8" French oak slats, 1/2" thick, with a thick 3mm sawn wear layer on a solid cross-slat core in a stable 3-layer engineered format. The sawn face looks and feels like solid hardwood and can be refinished, while the cross-slat core resists the cupping and gapping that solid herringbone can show with seasonal humidity changes. A light wire brushing and UV-cured matte finish keep the look natural and low-sheen.

Tesoro Woods makes this collection from 100% PEFC-certified French oak, 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.
