Character
Why wide planks can define a room so clearly
Wide planks guide wood across the floor in fewer, longer lines. That often feels calmer and more open than small-module coverings – without losing natural warmth.
Grain stays readable and touch stays warm. Together with generous formats you gain a floorscape that feels settled yet present – from single-family homes to high-quality apartments.
Wide planks show their strengths where daylight travels across the floor and long walls need calm: living areas, open plans and refined interiors in new builds and renovations alike.
Wide planks usually feel more open than classic parquet with a small-module grid. Classic parquet enables stronger patterns such as herringbone – both can be high quality. The right choice depends on species, grading, surface, format and use.

What sets wide plank flooring apart
Generous plank formats
Wider boards and calmer lines support a coherent, open floor image.
Natural wood grading
From calm to lively: grading and knot structure shape character and refinement.
Calm room presence
Fewer joints and less rhythm than small-module floors – often pleasing in living zones.
Different surfaces
Brushed, matt, natural or structured: the finish steers light and everyday feel.
Oiled or sealed
Open, warm character with oil – or more closed surfaces with sealers, depending on use.
Durable and often renewable
With the right build-up, surfaces can be maintained or refurbished later.

What matters for wide plank flooring
Wide planks are chosen through species, grading, surface finish and use – not decor alone. These criteria help you prepare before a showroom visit.
Species and grading
Oak is common but not mandatory. Grading and knot structure should harmonise with furniture, doors and the mood you want.
Surface and care
Natural, brushed or matt, plus oiled or sealed: the same wood can feel warmer, cooler or more textured depending on treatment.
Format and room effect
Width, length and lay direction influence how open a room feels – aligned with light, furnishing and layout.
Use and wear
Corridors, living areas or commercial zones place different demands on surface and maintenance.
Subfloor and installation
Screed, build height and transitions to tile, doors and neighbouring areas are clarified in planning – not on site.
Long-term renewal
With the right build-up, surfaces can often be maintained or refurbished. Scope depends on product and existing condition.
Colour shifts between rooms. In our Munich-Forstenried showroom we lay samples side by side and discuss finishes with you.

Service & existing floors
New installation or assess existing wood planks?
Not every project starts with new planks. When existing floors allow, refurbishment may be the better route – we assess build-up, condition and use and recommend the next step.
Installing wide planks – planned with technical care
Before work starts we clarify subfloor, build height and transitions to tile, doors and neighbouring areas. That avoids level jumps later and protects the overall look.
Lay direction influences how the room reads and how light travels across the planks. We align this with plan, built-ins and the mood you want.
Installation is carried out by experienced master craftsmen – including considered skirting and trims where agreed. After completion you receive care notes suited to your finish.
We assess
- Subfloor and build height
- Transitions, doors and skirting
- Lay direction and room effect
- Surface and care suited to use
Unsure whether new flooring or refurbishment? We review the existing floor and advise honestly.

What is wide plank flooring?
Wide plank flooring uses broader wood boards that tend to create a calm, open floor image. Like other timber floors it is installed as a structural covering with a defined wear layer and appropriate fixing method – specifics depend on product and subfloor.
Which wood species suits wide planks?
Oak is common and versatile but not the only option. Tone, grading, availability and which finishes are offered all matter. We explain alternatives objectively in consultation.
Is wide plank flooring better than parquet?
There is no universal winner: wide planks often feel calmer and more open, classic parquet can deliver stronger patterns such as herringbone. Both can be high quality – the choice depends on room effect, format and use.

Yes. Our showroom in Munich-Forstenried displays samples and finishes. Please arrange your visit in advance on the showroom line 089 744 95 130.

Yes. As master craftsmen, we advise on wide planks and carry out professional installation in Munich and the surrounding area – including coordination of subfloor, transitions and surface finish. For project enquiries, contact our office on 089 689 21 77.
Can wide planks be renovated or sanded later?
Often yes, where build-up and wear layer allow – for example careful sanding followed by fresh oiling or sealing. Scope and how many cycles are feasible depend on product and condition; we assess this transparently on site or from reliable documentation.
