“Coziness is is not just for one's own four walls. More and more shops want this sense of hygge for their customers and employees as well."

With a lively grain, modern shade of white, varied knots, and a velvety feel, natural larch wood flooring as the foundation for commercial spaces that exude comfort.

LARCH, brushed, lye treated, white oiled: Robust. Natural. Friendly.


Not rustic. mafi LARCH, brushed, lye treated and white oiled, sets new standards in terms of modern furnishing.

Above all, its very light shade, without any warm colors, creates an extremely friendly look and makes any space appear larger and brighter. The many small and large knots along the typical larch grain are real eye-catchers.

In order not to let the wooden surface appear too busy, each plank is finished with a white, natural, linseed-based oil. This results in a very homogeneous surface appearance that doesn't hide the lively larch details, instead rather deliberately moving them a bit into the background.

Larch in modern design


Larch has not only been used in classic and traditional interior designs for a long time, but it is also used specifically in contemporary living spaces.

The more modern the room concept, the greater the longing for security and warmth. The white oiled and leached larch exudes exactly this feel-good atmosphere into even the most streamlined of spaces while providing an exciting contrast to modern materials.
This approach was also successfully implemented in the Wimmer tailor shop.

A shop concept that embraces the trend towards biophilic design

Larch floors suitable for commercial buildings offer the perfect combination of naturalness and robustness


The symmetrical three-layer board construction made of real wood gives the board a tremendous longevity. The back and top layers are made of larch wood with the same thermal treatment, the middle layer is spruce. This high-quality structure with its strong counter-tension minimizes the natural shrinkage and warping of the wood.

The wear and bottom layers are each 5 mm think to ensure a high level robustness even with wide planks. Even larch boards with lengths of up to four or five meters and widths of up to 30 cm can be used without hesitation in both private and commercial areas thanks to the well thought-out board design. mafi larch boards remain dimensionally stable, even under extreme stress.

Care and cleaning in one step: how uncomplicated mafi larch can be


As robust as the mafi larch floor is, it is also easy to care for. Regular mopping with warm water and mafi wooden floor soap is all that's needed to clean and care for the floor – all in just one step.
The soap cleans the floor while the oil it contains deeply nourishes the plank and makes it resistant to dirt and damage. Over the years and decades, the sales room floor has developed a beautiful, hard-earned patina.

In the case of heavier soiling, especially in the autumn and winter months, the amount of white wood floor soap can be safely increased and mixed with hot water.
The heat successfully lifts deep-down dirt out of the wood's pores and gives the wood an extra dose of care.
