Douglas Fir Flooring for Your Home
Discover the natural beauty of a HIRAM Habitat Douglas fir floor for your home. The robust Douglas fir wood impresses with its warm reddish-yellow hue and distinctive grain. The exceptional plank lengths and widths create a unique atmosphere in any interior. With a wide range of finishing options, the Douglas fir floors can easily adapt to various design styles.
We create our Douglas fir planks in three styles: wide engineered planks, solid castle planks, and slim rift-cut planks. This provides flexible solutions that cater to different design visions, room sizes, and functional needs.
The origin of our Douglas fir logs (lat. Pseudotsuga menziesii) is our very own homeland. All of them have grown in sustainably managed forests in southern Germany. A tree spends 80 to 120 years in the forest before we carefully select and process it. Shaped by its natural surroundings, each one carries its decades- or even centuries-old history. Growth features, including cracks, branches, and grain patterns, tell this story, making each log unique. We specifically choose large Douglas fir logs that were felled in winter, ensuring the wood is straight-grained, fine-ringed, and, above all, free of large knots.
Douglas fir plank floors bring a fascinating charm to any space. The unique grain of Douglas fir wood gives the floor a natural aesthetic. With exceptional plank widths of up to 40 cm and lengths of up to 15 m, they create a spacious and impressive look. The treatment with lye gently lightens the wood, giving it a bright, Scandinavian finish.

Customize Your Douglas Fir Flooring
Choose from a variety of tones and surface textures for your Douglas fir flooring. Light, Scandinavian-style floors are created using a white-pigmented lye that softens the wood’s natural reddish hue. The boards are then oiled or soap-treated to refine the color and provide protection against moisture and dirt. Naturally oiled or dark Douglas fir floors also make a striking statement. You can customize the surface to your preference: finely sanded, lightly or medium brushed, or rough-sawn.

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.
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.
Rift & quarter-sawn Douglas floorboards
In addition to our wide Douglas fir floorboards, we also offer narrow solid Douglas fir boards. Crafted using the Rift/Quarter-Sawn method from the finest part of the log, they feature a consistent, clean, and uniform surface. The almost perpendicular grain increases hardness, reduces shrinkage, and improves the wood’s stability. These narrow boards are suitable for floors, walls, and ceilings, offering an attractive alternative for complex layouts or smaller spaces.
