Pick a format at the top of this page to see live stock, updated daily from our warehouse.
Made-to-order formats are milled to order: please allow approximately 3-4 months from order, an estimate that can vary with production and shipping. In-stock items ship on order, subject to stock on hand when you order. On order means a stocked line between shipments, arriving soon, so ask us for the next delivery date.
Matching stair nosings (110 x 40 x 20mm, 1.2m long) come pre-made from the factory with the return already formed, colour-matched to every format and finished in the same Sherwin-Williams UV lacquer, so colour and grain carry through from floor to step. No site-built nosing, and no colour mismatch on the step. As a natural timber product, some variation between boards is normal, part of the character of real oak. Order a sample to see the colour and pattern first.
The finish is a UV-cured lacquer system from Sherwin-Williams, the American coatings company founded in 1866 and, by revenue, the world’s largest paint and coatings maker.
Petit Château Collection
Oak Bordeaux is an engineered European oak floor with a warm, balanced tone and a smooth, refined surface. The colour sits comfortably in the mid-range of natural oak, offering depth without heaviness and a calm, versatile appearance suited to a wide range of interior styles.
The surface is even and composed, allowing the natural grain of the oak to remain visible without strong contrast or excessive variation. This creates a floor that feels timeless and adaptable, working equally well in contemporary and traditional settings.
Finished with a durable pre-finished lacquer, Oak Bordeaux is designed to withstand everyday use while maintaining a low-sheen, understated appearance. The finish protects the timber without introducing artificial gloss, supporting long-term performance and ease of maintenance.
To see this flooring used in a completed residential setting, view our Point Chevalier case study, showcasing a refined, contemporary home where European oak flooring plays a central role in the interior.
As part of the Petit Château Collection, Oak Bordeaux offers a reliable European oak flooring option that balances material quality, engineered stability, and practical durability.
