THE CHENEOAK DIFFERENCE
the story of unrivaled quality and unparalleled luxury.
Why our french oak floorboards are superior.
OUR FRENCH OAK IS A CUT ABOVE THE REST
why our french oak is so special
French Oak is considered the most finely crafted, luxurious, and hardwearing species of solid flooring. Unlike generic oak our French Oak has a higher tannin content, the benefits include stability and ease of colour application in a variety of finishes. Plus, the oak gets better with age, resulting in improved colour and more pronounced grain patterns over time.
​
Our french oak floorboards are milled from one piece of oak. Our Stair treads are solid milled from a single piece of oak, no glue or ply in sight just real wood.

QUALITY & SUSTAINABILITY
Our French Oak is subject to the quality and sustainability measures outlined by the NFO and the Pierre family.
The NFO (National Forests Office) inspects the oak every 15 to 20 years. They clear away slow-growing oak so that only the fast-growing, straightest, and healthiest trees prosper, making it a renewable slow-growing resource.

Before the oak is cut down it must be a minimum size of 25 inches. Most oak trees grow approximately 2mm in diameter per year.

Every tree cut down is replaced with at least one new tree
