Solid wood panels for walls and ceilings
Our OCEAN wall panels are inspired by Japanese craftsmanship, blending traditional woodwork with modern aesthetics. The textured surface creates a unique look and feel, defining spaces.
Made from solid oak or ash, they also offer functional benefits: the solid hardwood is known for its predictable burn behavior with a low burn rate. Additionally, the panels are refined with a special hardwax oil, made from natural ingredients. This oil provides a durable, easy-care surface that is antibacterial and highly resistant to stains and wear. The panels meet the highest aesthetic and functional demands for residential, hospitality, and commercial spaces.
OCEAN Panel - The Collection
Walls and ceilings designed with wood
1. Creating a Warm, Inviting Atmosphere
Wood paneling not only brings warmth to any space but also promotes a healthy indoor environment. It’s the perfect choice for both public areas—like restaurants, cafés, and spas—and private residences, where natural wood surfaces add an unmistakable, organic charm.
2. Exceptional Materiality & Design
The solid wood panels from the HIRAM Habitat OCEAN collection merge robust materiality with sophisticated design. Their striking texture and distinctive aesthetic transform the character of any room, creating a bold visual statement.
3. Dynamic 3D Texture
The panels feature a wave-like 3D texture achieved through irregular planing. This process results in an organic, dynamic surface that introduces movement and depth, setting the panels apart as a unique design element.
4. Versatile Applications
Whether used as wall or ceiling cladding or integrated into custom furniture, the OCEAN collection offers endless design possibilities. It seamlessly combines aesthetics, functionality, and sustainability to meet diverse interior design needs.
The treatment with natural hardwax oils gives the panels a light feel through subtle tones or creates an elegant finish with dark color nuances. The oil forms a protective layer on the wood, creating a breathable surface. The matte, oxidatively dried finish ensures a natural appearance, making the panels durable and robust.
The surface design with 3D effects creates an exclusive sense of space. To make the 3D effect stand out beautifully, we use wood with a variety of grain patterns and knot formations.
Finishing With Natural Hardwax Oils
Our OCEAN wall panels are finished with a special hardwax oil made from high-quality, natural oils such as linseed oil, sunflower oil, and jojoba oil, combined with modified alkyd resin and beeswax, carnauba wax, and candelilla wax. This oil provides an exceptionally durable and easy-care surface:
// Highest Durability
The hardwax oil is resistant to foot traffic and abrasion, permanently protecting the surface.
// Building Approval
It meets the requirements of the general building inspection approval (DIBt), making it suitable for use in construction projects.
// Antibacterial Properties
The hardwax oil is certified antibacterial, making it ideal for high-traffic surfaces in the hospitality industry, daycare centers, or spa areas.
// Easy Care and Hygienic
The surface is resistant to dirt, easy to clean, and particularly suitable for people with dust allergies, as it attracts less dust.
// Long-lasting and Resistant
The hardwax oil is tested according to DIN 68861-1B and is resistant to numerous everyday liquids such as wine, coffee, cola, and tea.
// Meets Strict Safety Standards
The oil meets the DIN EN 71-3 standard, which is set for the safety of toys.
Solid wood and fire protection – a safe choice
Predictable fire behavior
Solid wood from oak or ash chars on the surface, forming a protective layer that reduces heat conduction and slows the burn rate.
Longer dimensional stability
This protective layer helps maintain the shape and load-bearing capacity of the panels longer than many other materials.
Advantage over multi-layer panels
Unlike wall cladding made from multi-layer panels, which often contain adhesives and flammable intermediate layers, solid wood panels offer a homogeneous structure that burns slower and in a more controlled manner.
Meeting high fire protection requirements
With proper planning, even demanding fire protection standards can be easily met – without compromising the aesthetic appeal 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.
