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.
Our Douglas fir floors are crafted with meticulous craftsmanship. We select the ideal sawn timber according to specific preferences and refine the surface of the boards with various textures, ranging from finely sanded to lightly and medium brushed, and even to a rough-sawn finish. By combining lyes, soaps, and oils in the surface treatment, we create unique colorations in a variety of shades and tones.
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.

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 floorboards
In addition to our classic wide planks, we also offer a narrow solid Douglas fir floorboard. What makes it special? These boards are made from the filet section of the log and are cut using rift or quarter-sawn techniques. This unique cut results in a very uniform, homogeneous, and clean surface appearance. In rift and quarter-sawn boards, the growth rings run nearly perpendicular to the surface, which enhances the surface hardness, reduces shrinkage, and improves the wood's dimensional stability. The narrow Douglas fir rift boards can be used for floors, walls, and ceilings. Their slimmer dimensions also make them an attractive, cost-effective alternative to our wide castle planks, making them ideal for complex layouts and smaller spaces.

Our Douglas fir floorboards, with their lightness and distinctive grain, create a lively yet minimalist foundation for diverse designs. Discover more reference projects featuring floorboards made from locally sourced Douglas fir. Get inspired for your next project now.
