Ash is a noble hardwood known for its strength, durability, and exceptional resilience. Its distinctive grain makes it a striking natural design element, with knots, growth rings, and subtle color variations creating an elegant contrast to sleek, modern interiors. A HIRAM Habitat ash floor is both a timeless classic and a captivating centerpiece. This exquisite solid ash wood stands out with its mesmerizing grain and warm, inviting color palette. Thanks to its robust properties, ash is perfect for high-traffic areas like living rooms, entryways, and commercial spaces.
We offer our ash floorboards in three styles: wide engineered planks, solid castle planks, and herringbone parquet. This versatility ensures options for diverse design visions, room sizes, and functional needs.
Every ash floorboard is crafted with care and precision. We hand-select the finest sawn timber and customize the surface finish to your preferences, from smooth sanding to light or heavy brushing, or even a sawn-textured look. Using a combination of lyes, soaps, and oils, we create unique finishes that either highlight the wood’s natural grain or provide a subtle, harmonious appearance.
Our team of trained forestry experts selectively sources ash tree logs (Latin: Fraxinus excelsior) exclusively from forests in France and southern Germany. Nearly all of these forests are PEFC and/or FSC certified, ensuring sustainable and responsible logging practices. The selection of tree logs is conducted according to our high-quality standards, as only straight and low-knot logs with a substantial diameter are suitable for crafting wide and long planks. This allows us to produce solid wood planks and engineered planks from ash wood that can reach lengths of up to 10 meters and widths of 30 centimeters.
As the ash core darkens after approximately 70 years of growth, unique color patterns emerge in the finished ash plank, ranging from light to dark heartwood. The light-colored heartwood closely resembles olive wood, which is why ash wood is sometimes referred to as "olive ash." In some instances, the ash wood forms wavy zones and takes on a dark olive brown to light brown hue. However, the naturally occurring pattern is not the only remarkable feature of ash wood. It is also known for its hardness and weight, making it durable and resistant to wear and tear.

Room- Length Planks
Room-length planks are generous in size, extending the entire length of the room where they are installed. Long, uniform planks create a sense of spaciousness and visual tranquility. We manufacture these planks in 50 cm intervals. The installation with visible or shadow gaps ensures a clean line and distinct visual appeal of our plank floors.
Random Lengths
Random lengths offer an ideal wood yield while providing very long planks. The planks are manufactured in various lengths within a specific length range. With minimal wood waste, random lengths are both economically and ecologically attractive. They create a seamless and expansive look, allowing for the seamless connection of large, open spaces.
The appearance of the planks is defined by the natural characteristics of the wood, such as color, knots, and other features. To ensure high-quality plank flooring, each tree and plank is assessed and sorted according to our quality criteria. Knots and other imperfections are fixed and filled, resulting in a uniformly beautiful plank surface. The images below are indicative.

COUNTRY CLASSIC
Our "Country Classic" grading corresponds to a livelier knot and color variation in the wood, creating a more rustic and characterful look. In interior spaces, the "Country Classic" grading adds cozy warmth and charm. The picture is indicative.

URBAN CLASSIC
Our "Urban Classic" grading generally includes planks with fewer knots and occasional pinpoint knots. This grading creates a calm and elegant atmosphere in the room. The picture is indicative.
