WHAT THIS FLOOR ACTUALLY IS

Handles everyday spills — kitchens and dry interiors, detailed correctly
Water-resistant for everyday use. Not a waterproofing system. Not a flood-proof claim. Clean with a damp mop; remove free water promptly.
Warm underfoot — ready for underfloor heating
Compatible with underfloor heating — declared for the product family, not measured by us per batch. The floor floats, so it follows the heat without being fixed to the screed.
Made for daily life — chairs, shoes, pets
Real long planks — a calmer, continuous floor
Full 1.83 m boards with a fine four-sided micro-bevel — our declared joint.
Ultra-matte — reads as real floor, never plastic

Good to know Think twice if you want a smooth, uniform floor — this one is all character and texture.

CHOOSING · IS THIS THE RIGHT FLOOR

ARCHITECTURAL POSITION

1014 is a mid-dark, warm oak whose interest is in the grain and the knots rather than in the colour — the tone itself is one quiet mass. Under flat overcast light, which hides nothing and flatters nothing, that is the honest arrangement: texture reads, sheen would not. It sits at the same density as brick and lime-clay wall, which is why a room built from those three materials holds together.

Where it works

  • Interiors built from brick, lime-clay plaster and bluestone
  • Rooms under flat, diffuse northern light
  • Minimal schemes with few objects, where the material has to carry the room
  • Living and dining floors that should feel worked rather than finished

Where not to oversell it

Not for wet areas, standing water or as a ceramic replacement, and not solid timber. It is the wrong ground for anyone who wants a smooth, uniform floor — the grain and the knots are the model, and they do not recede.

Best beside

  • Clay-lime plaster
  • Belgian bluestone and grey-blue stone
  • Dark heat-treated ash joinery
  • Aged bronze
  • Undyed wool and heavy matte weave

Avoid beside

  • Gloss and lacquered sheen
  • Bright accent colour
  • Decorative pattern in the same room
  • Cold blue-white paint
  • Polished chrome and mirror finishes

If the room leans that way, the truly distant floors: Sylt 1140-51 · Helsinki 1994-05 · Havana 2410.

BEFORE YOU ASK · WHAT A QUOTE HERE MEANS

What it includes

A quote is itemised line by line — boards for your area, edge and threshold profiles, and anything else the job needs. Nothing bundled, nothing assumed.

How it arrives

Send the rooms and their approximate area — by form or WhatsApp. The itemised quote comes back to you personally.

Why no public price list

A floor is priced from its specification: the model, the area, the condition of the existing base and the finishing details. A number published before those are known would be a guess — we don’t guess. Asking costs nothing and commits you to nothing.
