Solid wood panels for walls and ceilings
The OCEAN wall panels are inspired by Japanese craftsmanship. Their textured, hand-planed surface gives spaces a distinctive look and a tactile feel.
Made from solid oak or ash, these wall panels serve not only as stylish design elements but also as functional components: the solid hardwood offers predictable fire behavior with a slow burn rate. Finishing with specialized hardwax oils creates a durable, low-maintenance surface—antibacterial and highly resistant to stains and wear. The oils are made from natural ingredients, promoting healthy, living-friendly spaces—perfect for residential, hospitality, and commercial settings.
OCEAN Panel - The Collection
Walls and ceilings designed with wood
1. Creating Atmosphere
Wood paneling brings warmth and a healthy indoor climate. Whether in restaurants, cafés, spa areas, or private homes, solid wood wall panels give every space a distinctive natural character.
2. Materiality & Design
The solid wood panels of the OCEAN collection combine robust materiality with sophisticated design. Their striking texture makes a visual statement in any room. Treatment with hardwax oils produces either light, delicate tones or rich, deep color nuances.
3. Tactile 3D Texture
The panel surfaces are irregularly hand-planed in a wave-like 3D texture. This process creates an organic, dynamic structure that gives the material movement and depth.
4. Versatile Applications
Whether as wall or ceiling cladding, in furniture, or for counters, reception areas, and bars—the OCEAN wall panels are versatile and create impactful design accents.
Diverse Color Nuances
Treatment with natural hardwax oils gives the panels a light, airy feel through delicate tones or creates an elegant finish with darker shades. The oil forms a protective, breathable layer on the wood. The matte, oxidatively dried surface ensures a natural appearance while making the panels durable and resilient.
Refine wall panels with hardwax oils
Our OCEAN wall panels are finished with a specialized hardwax oil made from high-quality, natural oils such as linseed, sunflower, and jojoba oil, combined with modified alkyd resin and beeswax, carnauba wax, and candelilla wax. This treatment creates an exceptionally durable, low-maintenance, and long-lasting surface that is resistant to wear and abrasion, providing lasting protection. The hardwax oil meets the requirements of the general building authority approval (DIBt) and is certified antibacterial—making it ideal for high-traffic areas such as restaurants, daycare centers, or spa facilities. In addition, the surface is dirt-resistant, easy to clean, and particularly suitable for households with dust allergies, as it attracts less dust. Tested according to DIN 68861-1B, the hardwax oil withstands a variety of everyday liquids including wine, coffee, cola, and tea. It also complies with DIN EN 71-3, the safety standard applicable to toys.
Solid wood wall panels – advantages in fire protection
Solid oak or ash wood chars on the surface when exposed to fire, forming a natural protective layer that reduces heat transfer and significantly slows the burn rate. This layer helps maintain the shape and structural integrity of the panels longer than many other materials. Unlike wall claddings made from engineered boards, which often contain adhesives or flammable layers, solid wood panels have a homogeneous structure that reacts more slowly and predictably in the event of a fire. This allows even stringent fire safety requirements to be met—without compromising the natural beauty of the wood.
If trees had names, we’d know each of them personally.
At HIRAM Habitat, we prioritize creating value from the very foundation - beginning with the forest itself. This is where our journey starts, and it continues in the production facilities of our partners, where traditional craftsmanship is utilized to produce exceptional wood products for home living. Our brand is supported by our own timber trading, ensuring that every tree selected for our products is carefully inspected by our forestry experts and chosen according to the highest quality standards. Even in the forest, each tree is marked and designated for its intended use. With years of experience, our team assesses characteristics such as branching, straightness, and the growth patterns of the tree's annual rings.
Our wood mainly comes from the Black Forest and Eastern France.
