Whether light or dark: this wood is as colorful as life itself.
The wood of the ash tree is easy to fall in love with. 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 color. However, oiled or color-finished planks have a wide variety of colors. In addition to a decorative grain, ash parquet flooring also has an enchanting range of colors, 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 preferred wood for sports floors as well as 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?
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 colors thanks to modern wood finishes
Ash parquet is naturally light in color. This makes it look friendly and inviting even in small rooms. However, our HARO range offers you much more than just light-colored ash parquet. The use of oils and natural wood finishing techniques, such as steaming and smoking, creates a wide variety of colors in our ash parquet.
How about our 180 4V Thermo Ash Mezzo plank, for example? The oiled planks of this special floor are a seduction for all the senses with their rich chocolate brown. 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 color and expressive surface structure. The 2V Ash Fancy structured plank is just the right flooring for anyone who loves contrasts. The dark parquet is guaranteed to be an eye-catcher in your home with its light texture.
A classic that lives forever
The variety of colors of our parquet 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 elements looks particularly lively. The same applies to the wideplank 180 2V Ash sand white universal structured.
Even if you prefer a ship's floor, we have a few variants up our sleeve. The Ash Favorit and Ash light white Favorit textured planks impress with their varied color differences and an easy-care permaDur-sealed surface. The planks of our Ash sand white Favorit structured ship flooring, on the other hand, have our particularly hard-wearing and naturally matt naturaDur surface. It provides a natural look and optimum protection. Last but not least, there is our Ash Trend ship's floor, which has a classic, timeless charm thanks to its natural wood grain.
