What/Who is Tesoro Woods exactly?
Tesoro Woods is a certified advocate of sourcing sustainable materials and using eco-friendly, low-VOC finishes and glues to minimize the impact on indoor air quality and health. Living up to our name, Tesoro Woods prizes wood as a treasure, where every product meets the highest environmental and health standards while looking beautiful. Learn more on our About page.
We serve the residential green flooring market, self-distributing our products nationally through our selective dealer base. Tesoro Woods does not sell directly to homeowners, only through dealers. Authorized dealers are listed on our Dealer Locator, where you can find the closest dealer to you.
Tesoro Woods was founded by William Jopling, or more commonly known as Jop. Jop was one of the great visionaries and innovators of the wood flooring industry and a serial entrepreneur, opening Tesoro Woods in 2009. Tragically, seven years later, Jop passed away, leaving behind his hardwood flooring legacy. Now, it’s been almost two years after his passing and we honor our founder by revitalizing one of his main companies. Learn more about Jop’s life and our full story on the Our Story page.
Does the Chinese import tariff affect your wood flooring products?
No. Tesoro Woods does not import any engineered hardwood flooring from China. All of our engineered wood flooring products will not increase in price because our engineered wood flooring products are exempt from the current 10% tax on imported Chinese goods. Only a few of Tesoro Woods’ products come from China, our solid hardwood flooring in the Densified Poplar Collection and our bamboo flooring in the Super-Strand Bamboo by MOSO® Collection.
The Densified Poplar Collection is currently stocked in the United States, so prices will not increase while supplies last.
The Super-Strand Bamboo by MOSO® Collection will stay at the same prices until November 1, 2018. Prices will be updated and sent to dealers on November 1st.
Where does your wood come from exactly?
Tesoro Woods sources our wood from controlled, sustainable forests in North America. More specifically, the majority of our wood veneers are harvested in Canada and the Northern United States. Our exotic species in the Great Southern Woods Collection are sourced throughout Central America and South America.
Where are your flooring products milled?
We use a controlled, eco-friendly wood flooring mill that is located in Central America. Our mill is certified by the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC®), as it follows meticulous, sustainable milling techniques to produce Tesoro Woods’ beautiful, certified, eco-friendly wood flooring.
Our Super-Strand Bamboo by MOSO® Collection is milled by MOSO® Bamboo Products in their factory in China. MOSO®’s product excellence is achieved because they have control over the production process in China, being involved from beginning to end.
What makes your products eco-friendly?
Our wood flooring products are eco-friendly for a variety of reasons. The most important reason is we source our wood sustainably. Tesoro Woods uses wood that comes from a salvaged, reclaimed, or recycled source, or is harvested from forests or plantations. We never greenwash our wood flooring products and our products are certified by the current industry leading third party certifying organization, the FSC®.
