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 Select Wide-Plank
The OAK Select is exclusively available as a Wide-Plank and is a popular alternative to the OAK Clear Wide-Plank.
In terms of appearance, the OAK Select is characterized by occasional knots and cracks, but they have little impact in relation to the large widths, creating a homogeneous overall look on the surface.
OAK Character
The sorting Character features a surface with smaller-diameter knots. It's essentially a compromise between the timeless OAK Clear and the lively OAK Country. The small knots are filled with brown putty that beautifully matches the oak wood's color.
OAK Sand
In OAK Sand, the knots are filled with a sand-colored putty that is more understated than the brown putty in OAK Clear. 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 Molto
The planks of OAK Molto are mostly knot-free and exhibit some lighter sapwood. It is available in elegant, narrow, and mixed widths. The overall appearance of Molto is intriguing and can be further harmonized or accentuated by the oiling. It is also available in the darker Vulcano version.
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.
OAK Vulcano Medium is the lightest option and impresses with a warm honey-colored tone. It is also available in the livelier Country version.
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 displays rich dark brown colors, providing a sustainable alternative to tropical wood. The Country variant is a bit livelier, both in color play and sorting.
Nero OAK Vulcano
A deep brown, almost black – that is the Nero OAK Vulcano. It is the darkest variant among our products. It is available as planks in our standard sizes with white and natural oiling, as well as a brushed and sawn surface.
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.
Coral OAK
The Coral OAK is also available in the dark Vulcano variant. The existing cracks in the wood are reworked, harmonized, and then filled by hand. This creates a beautiful overall appearance dominated by striking cracks.
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.
