Whether light or dark: this wood is as colourful as life itself.

Ash wood is simply enchanting. The ancient Romans already knew this, believing that Cupid, the god of love, carved his arrows from ash. The ash tree also has a special significance in many other mythologies. For example, the evergreen ash tree Yggdrasil embodied the entire cosmos for the Germanic tribes.

Let a piece of mystical nature move into your home. Whether plank or ship's floor, the noble ash has long since secured its place among the most popular parquet woods. It is hard to imagine Scandinavian interior design trends without it. Ash wood is naturally white to yellowish in colour. However, oiled or colour-finished planks come in a wide variety of colours. In addition to its decorative grain, ash parquet flooring also has an enchanting range of colours, from white to rich brown.

The history of ash proves that it is a hardy wood species. Ash is the only tree species from the olive family that found its way back to Europe after the Ice Age and the formation of the Alps. Here it now makes itself at home even at altitudes of up to 1600 metres. Even within your own four walls, parquet made from ash wood can withstand high loads. Even in rooms with high stress, ash is an optimal floor covering.

Ash wood - naturally robust

Ash wood is considered tough, elastic and resistant, making it a hard wood that is also extremely elastic and flexible. It is no coincidence that ash is still the favoured wood for sports floors and tool handles. Parquet made from ash is even a little harder than parquet flooring made from oak. This makes ash parquet the ideal floor covering for anyone looking for a hard-wearing floor for a living area subject to heavy use.

Does ash parquet change colour over time?

A branch full of ash leaves, through which gentle sunlight shimmers, creating a warm and vibrant play of light.

Colour changes in wood are completely natural. Exposure to sunlight usually causes light floors to darken, while dark floors become slightly lighter. The light ash wood thus becomes darker over time and the yellowish hue is intensified. Steamed parquet made of ash also changes colour over time. The dark planks become noticeably lighter. The through-dyed woods from our parkettmanufaktur by HARO, however, remain almost without colour change.

Variety of colours thanks to modern wood finishes

Ash parquet is naturally light in colour. This makes it look friendly and inviting even in small rooms. However, our HARO range offers you much more than just light-coloured ash parquet. The use of oils and natural wood finishing techniques, such as steaming and smoking, creates a wide variety of colours in our ash parquet.

How about our 180 4V Thermo Ash Mezzo plank, for example? With their rich chocolate brown colour, the oiled planks of this special floor are a seduction for all the senses. The surfaces of our wideplank 180 4V Ash Barrique Selective Textured and our wideplank 180 4V Ash Olive Grey Expressive Textured from parkettmanufaktur by HARO are treated with oleovera natural oil. Both floors shine with their dark colour and expressive surface texture. The 2V Ash Fancy textured plank is just the right flooring for anyone who loves contrasts. With its light-coloured structure, the dark parquet is guaranteed to be an eye-catcher in your home.

A classic that lives forever

The variety of colours in our parquet flooring knows almost no bounds. Of course, you will also find parquet in which ash shows its natural side. If you have your eye on the generous format of our planks, our plank 180 2V Ash light white universal structured might be just the thing for you. The ash flooring with heartwood content looks particularly lively. The same applies to the plank 180 2V Ash sand white universal structured.

Even if you prefer a ship's floor, we have a few variants up our sleeve.
