Solid wood floorboards made from other wood species

Solid wood flooring in other wood species

Our solid wood flooring in other wood species opens up new possibilities for individual floor design with a special expression. Whether beech, cumaru, merbau, ash, Douglas fir, or pitch pine – distinctive grain patterns, special shades, and characteristic looks ensure unmistakable room concepts.

Solid wood flooring in other wood species offers an alternative to classic oak flooring and sets its own unique accents depending on the type of wood. Light-colored woods such as ash, spruce, or pine have a natural and friendly effect, while beech, Douglas fir, merbau, cumaru, or pitch pine create warmer, bolder, or particularly striking floor appearances.

Advantages of solid wood flooring in other wood species

• Distinctive wood character
  Each wood species brings its own effect – from light and friendly to warm and lively, or bold, dark, and striking.
• Suitable for special room concepts
  Depending on the wood species, light, natural, warm, or striking floor appearances can be specifically tailored to the interior design, lighting conditions, and desired room atmosphere.
• Solid construction
  The boards are made entirely of wood and provide substance for heavily used living areas and future renovations.
• Diverse selection
  Thickness, width, surface, and grading allow for a suitable match to room size, usage, and desired look.
• Characteristic alternative to oak
  Those who consciously do not want a classic oak floor will find solid wood flooring here with an independent expression and special charisma.

Wood species, surface, and flooring effect

With solid wood flooring in other wood species, the wood type is particularly in the foreground. It determines the color, grain, hardness, and the basic effect of the floor. Depending on the selection, a light, natural, warm, lively, or particularly striking floor is created.

Selecting solid wood flooring by wood species

Light wood species such as ash, spruce, or pine appear friendly, natural, and subtle. Beech provides a warm, uniform wood look. Douglas fir shows a lively, characteristic structure. Wood species such as merbau, cumaru, or pitch pine appear stronger and more striking, consciously setting special accents in the room.

Selecting solid wood flooring by grading

The grading also shapes the floor's appearance. Quieter grades appear clearer and more uniform; more lively grades show more play of color, knots, and natural characteristics.

Surfaces

The chosen surface influences whether the floor is to be treated individually later or already has a finished effect. Raw or raw-sanded boards allow more freedom for final treatment after installation. Oiled and brushed & oiled surfaces emphasize the wood structure and give the floor a warm, natural appeal.

Tip: If a classic, calm oak floor is desired instead of special wood species, oak fixed lengths could be a suitable alternative. For a darker and warmer oak look, it is also worth taking a look at smoked oak solid wood flooring.

Technical planning notes

Solid wood flooring should always be planned with a view to the respective wood species. Hardness, color effect, grain, and swelling/shrinkage behavior can differ significantly. Therefore, wood species, width, thickness, surface, and installation method should be considered together.

Depending on the item, subfloor, and construction, the boards can be fully glued or professionally screwed. The installation instructions for the respective product are always authoritative.

For underfloor hot-water heating, the suitability of the individual item and the entire floor structure must be checked. Please refer to our leaflet on parquet and underfloor heating.
