Bois Fumé is a warm mid tone natural brown shade. Smoked wood, or bois fumé in French, is a time-honored tradition of treating wood to bring out the natural darkened tones, changing the wood’s tannins in the process. It also makes the appearance more luminous, casting a glow from within that is impossible to replicate using heavy surface stains.

The Vernal Collection® offers the beauty of a Duchateau floor in a smooth, clean grade with minimal knots or natural cracks.  Vernal floors are made from the most rare and select boards.  A great choice for both modern and traditional settings, the lustrous colors offer a unique depth.

LOVE EVERY PLANK

DUCHATEAU’s hardwood flooring collections reflect a love for the natural beauty of wood. There will be nuances that create variation between planks—and we want you to love each one. You decide if some planks you’ve received have too much character or not enough, or if some are too light or dark.

Your floor, your decision.

DUCHATEAU will replace up to 5% of your planks no charge, excluding labor and freight. 5% will be standard prepackaged material of the purchased floor. Cannot be combined on original sales order. No cash value. Must be claimed within 90 days of first invoice. Flooring orders are eligible for a one-time 5% replacement. Applies to Signature hardwood and Martyn Lawrence Bullard flooring products only.
