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.

Oak Café Au Lait is an engineered European oak floor characterised by its soft, warm mid-tone and understated, versatile character. Sitting comfortably between light and medium oak, the colour introduces warmth without overpowering a space, making it suitable for a wide range of interior styles.

The engineered construction provides dimensional stability suited to New Zealand conditions, while retaining the natural variation and grain detail of European oak. The wide plank format enhances spatial flow and allows the timber’s texture to read clearly across larger floor areas.

Finished with a durable UV lacquer, the surface protects the oak while maintaining a low-sheen, natural appearance. Oak Café Au Lait is a refined, practical timber floor designed for residential and light commercial environments.
