Château collection
What to know before you order
Where it can go
Yes: living areas, bedrooms, hallways, domestic kitchens and laundries. In a kitchen or laundry it must be laid to the Vienna Woods wet-area detail, a flexible perimeter sealant and sealed joints within 1.5 m of any sanitary fixture. Ask us for the detail before you install. No: bathrooms with a shower or bath, saunas, garages, commercial kitchens, or outdoors.
Underfloor heating
Suitable over underfloor heating, subject to a maximum surface temperature of 27 °C.
Availability
Most Château colours are held in stock in Auckland; some are end-of-line and will not be repeated. Confirm the colour you want is available before you specify it.
Looking after it
Use Vienna Woods-approved cleaning and maintenance products for a lacquered floor, an oil or oil-soap product must not be used on it. Keep indoor humidity between 40–60% where practical; improper maintenance may affect durability.

As a natural timber product, some variation in grain, tone and knots between boards is normal, and that is part of the character of real oak.

Order a sample to see the colour in your own light before you commit.

Château Collection

Margaux is an extra-wide engineered French oak floor defined by its smoked finish and rich, natural tonal variation. The colour carries a layered warmth that ranges subtly across each plank, while the timber’s grain remains clearly expressed.

The wide plank format enhances the sense of space and continuity, making Margaux well suited to both contemporary and classic interiors. Natural movement and variation are embraced rather than concealed, resulting in a floor that feels composed yet characterful.

Finished with a UV lacquer, Margaux retains a natural, low-sheen appearance while benefiting from improved durability and ease of maintenance. The finish protects the timber without introducing surface gloss, preserving the depth and softness of the smoked oak tone.

Part of the Château Collection, Margaux combines refined French oak with modern engineered performance, offering long-term stability and a considered aesthetic suited to residential and light commercial applications.
