An Overview of our Natural Oakwood Floors
OAK Clear
The OAK Clear is essentially the fillet piece of the tree. Its nearly knot-free surface exudes timeless elegance, which is further enhanced by the oak's calm grain pattern.
The OAK Clear is available as planks, wide-planks, thin-planks, hexagon, as well as chevron and herringbone variations.
OAK Prima
The planks of the Prima OAK are mostly sound, with a calm, uniform knot pattern. Occasional sound knots and slight end cracks may be present. Filled areas up to 20 mm in diameter are sealed with golden wood filler.
The Prima OAK is available in all our installation formats and is also offered as the Vulcano Medium and Vulcano Variant. The filler is adjusted accordingly for these variants.
OAK Vera
The OAK Vera planks are mostly naturally knotted and feature a lively, characterful grain pattern. Natural knots are desirable, and slight end cracks may be present. Fills up to 30 mm in diameter are sealed with brown wood filler.
OAK Vera is also available in our standard installation sizes and can be ordered in the Vulcano Medium or Vulcano variants.
OAK Sand
In OAK Sand, the knots are filled with a sand-colored putty that is more understated than the brown putty in OAK Vera. This allows the knots to blend even more discreetly with the wood surface. Especially the combination of white oiling and the light sand putty creates a atmospheric and, above all, consistent overall appearance.
OAK Country
The popular mafi OAK Country plank stands out with its liveliness and strong character with knots and cracks, both of which are emphasized in black. The resulting contrast creates an intriguing surface appearance.
OAK Country Gold
In OAK Country Gold, a gold-colored filling is used for the knots, which is much more subtle than the black filling. The gold color perfectly complements the warm tone of the oak wood, creating a calm overall appearance that appears very exclusive upon closer inspection.
OAK Vulcano Medium
Only with the help of wind, water, and heat do we achieve light brown to almost black color results using our thermal treatment process with domestic woods like Oak.
The OAK Vulcano Medium is the lightest variant and features a warm honey hue. It is available in the Prima, Vera, Country, and Country Gold grades as planks and in various installation formats.
OAK Vulcano
The next level of intensity in the Vulcano floors is the OAK Vulcano. The natural thermal treatment colors the wood deeply and ensures the repairability of our floors.
It features rich, dark brown hues that offer a sustainable alternative to tropical hardwood. This shade is available in the Prima, Vera, and Country grades. The Country grade is slightly more vibrant, both in terms of color variation and grain pattern.
Nero OAK Vulcano
A deep brown shade, almost black—that’s Nero OAK Vulcano. It is the darkest option in our product line and is available in a wide range of dimensions.
Tiger OAK
The Tiger OAK is a floor with a lively and unique appearance due to its color differences and fine cracks, which are created intentionally through a heat treatment, unlike the isolated cracks found in the Nero OAK. This floor can be customized by filling the cracks with any color of your choice.
Carving OAK
The innovative laser technology from mafi is responsible for the range of Carving parquet floors, all of which are intricately engraved with artistic patterns. Here we find well-formed ellipses and circles, old favorites like the herringbone and French herringbone look, as well as a variety of other designs.
OAK Parquet Panels
Panel Parquet flooring is a true classic. When installed on large surfaces, it leaves a timeless impression. In four different variations, as well as the option of OAK Vulcano Medium and OAK Vulcano, we offer options for all concepts, especially for modern projects.
Origin and Distribution
Oak wood has always had a strong connection with people and has been used as a building material for a long time. Whether in shipbuilding or construction, oak's high resistance to decay and density have made it one of the most valuable domestic hardwoods for furniture design and interior finishing.
The reasons for the great popularity of this wood in interior finishing are, on the one hand, its extreme hardness and resulting durability, and on the other hand, the visual versatility of this material.
