What is Versailles flooring?
Versailles flooring brings timeless French elegance into South African homes and design projects. The pattern was originally created for the Palace of Versailles in the 17th century and remains one of the most beautiful and luxurious wooden floors ever made. At DutzWood, every Versailles floor is handmade from the highest-quality European oak. Each floor is finished with our exclusive DUTI-coating for durability and a natural matte look. The result is a floor that combines history, craftsmanship and modern comfort, made to last for generations.

Versailles floors are made as square panels in 3 standard sizes: 750 x 750 mm, 980 x 980 mm and 1000 x 1000 mm. Besides this, a custom made dimension is also possible.
We also create Continuous Versailles, where the pattern flows naturally without a frame. This version is laid piece by piece on site and offers a seamless, fully custom look. The layout uses 180 x 180 mm squares with 90 x 450 mm blocks.
We offer our Versailles floors in two wood gradings, Pure and Exclusive, so the natural beauty of the pattern stands out without large knots.

Custom finishes & Perfect for floor heating
Every colour and finish can be applied to our Versailles oak floors. Choose from soft natural tones or deeper shades. We can also apply a variety of treatments such as smoking, ageing and brushing, each adding its own unique character to the floor.All our floors are custom-made and finished using cutting-edge machinery with natural oils and our durable DUTI-coating, creating a smooth, matte surface and long-lasting protection. You can personalise every detail; from the size and grading to the colour and finish. You share your vision, and we bring it to life.
Our Versailles floors are engineered from European oak with a marine plywood base, making them exceptionally stable and ideal for underfloor heating. The structure allows heat to move evenly through the wood, creating a naturally warm surface without warping or gaps.
