An exquisite selection.
Surface finishes with high-quality oils or varnishes underline the character of the particular woods and ensure a durable, easy-care floor. Treatments such as brushing, liming and smoking give the surfaces additional expression. And with our used-look, saw-cut and woodworm look finishes we have three extraordinary new surfaces in our range.
Brushed wood
Brushing the wood's surface opens the pores of the wood and at the same time brings out its natural structure. Each plank has its own individual look and a relief is created which lends the floor character. An ideal basis for modern or rustic design styles.
Limed wood
Liming emphasises the grain of the wood and gives it an attractive surface. After brushing, a lime paste is applied. Once this has dried the excess is removed and the surface is coated with natural oil, UV-hardened oil or natural matt varnish. Oak is particularly suitable for liming due to its large pores.
Smoked wood
Smoking causes the tannic acid in the wood to react so that its colour is permanently altered, deep down. Oak turns brown to dark brown-black, Douglas fir turns light brown to red-brown. Each plank has a different tannic acid content which leads to interesting colour differences on each individual plank - firm evidence that you have a piece of living nature.
Colour-treated wood
Some surfaces, such as white beech, white oak, old grey oak and white ash are produced with pigmented varnishes or oils. This gives the planks their particular colouration and at the same time the natural structure of the wood is retained. As with liming, the surface is given a final coat of natural oil, UV-hardened oil or natural matt varnish.
Used look
This surface finish gives the parquet floor an antique appearance.
The planks are given a variety of looks and appear naturally aged
through the application of the latest technology and laborious
hand finishing.
Woodworm look
Our parquet floors with woodworm look surfaces are particularly unusual. Hundreds of little one to two millimetre holes give the impression of woodworm attack but of course the impression is merely visual.
Saw-cut structure
For parquet flooring in saw-cut look, saw cuts run against the grain. They can be clearly seen and felt and gain additional emphasis from the matt-gloss surface finish.
Natural wood
The character of selected woods comes into its own even without finishing processes. Many MEISTER parquet floors are therefore simply oiled or varnished. The homely result is wood in its natural form.
