Authentic Chestnut Brown is a Warm Chestnut engineered wood flooring plank or herringbone from the Vermont Collection. The dark-toned Oak fine wood top layer features a naturally oiled surface and Authentic grading. Built on a high-density HDF core (around 930 kg/m3) with moisture-resistant edge sealing for 24-hour standing water protection, Authentic Chestnut Brown is engineered for click installation – floating or fully glued – across residential and commercial projects, with full underfloor heating and cooling compatibility plus an antibacterial-tested surface.
