Discover the natural beauty of the HIRAM Habitat Silver fir floorboards. The light-colored fir wood captivates with its elegant appearance and pleasant texture. With exceptional plank lengths and widths, this flooring imparts a unique atmosphere to any space. Immerse yourself in timeless aesthetics and natural charm. Lye-treated, oiled, or soap-finished, the light-colored floorboards provide a subtle foundation for functional and aesthetic designs.
We manufacture our silver fir floorboards in three versions: as a wide three-layer plank or solid castle plank, as well as a narrow and sleek rift-cut plank. This gives us versatile solutions that meet a variety of design visions, room sizes, and functional requirements.
Our Silver fir floorboards are crafted with artisanal expertise. 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 silver fir is a rarity from the Black Forest. This resin-free conifer boasts exceptional technical properties. The Black Forest silver fir (Latin: Abies alba) grows right on our doorstep, thriving in the sparse forest soils and higher elevations of the Black Forest. In these areas, winters are longer and harsher, and the colder temperatures promote slow growth, which gives the silver fir its particularly fine grain with closely spaced growth rings. To ensure the highest quality of raw material, the silver fir is carefully harvested during the winter months.
With silver fir, we are rethinking traditional wood. The light-colored silver fir is perfect for both classic and modern designs. Treated with lye, oil, and soap, it creates a light surface. Versatile and understated, its pale tone blends seamlessly into contemporary architectural projects. With its fine grain and soft texture, a silver fir floor brings the beauty of nature into any space.

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 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 Silver 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 Silver 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 Silver fir floorboards, with their light color and naturally beautiful grain, create a vibrant yet subtle foundation for a wide range of design possibilities. Explore more reference projects featuring domestic Silver fir floorboards and get inspired for your next project.
