The variety is “Character”. As the name suggests, a surface with knots in smaller diameters and only sparse cracks. Like a compromise between the timeless “OAK Clear” and the lively “OAK Country”, or in other words the happy medium between two varieties that couldn’t be more different.
With “OAK Character,” then, you bring home a very special kind of wood. Because on the one hand, the surface image here radiates a coziness called out by the beautiful knot pattern, and on the other a timelessness that comes from the lack of cracks and the typical grain. Any small knots in “OAK Character” are closed with brown putty, beautifully matching the oak’s color.

BEECH has a pronounced swelling and shrinkage behaviour in its original form. Therefore, we only offer BEECH in combination with a thermo treatment. As a result, the wood is stable and significantly reduces the risk of gaps. The thermo treatment is carried out entirely without chemical additives using only wind, water and heat. Combined with the typical mafi three-layer construction, BEECH Vulcano is suitable even for installation on underfloor heating.
The planks have few knots and have a uniform appearance. The fine pores of the BEECH allow for a consistent three-dimensional surface appearance, without rough spots. Therefore, the BEECH Vulcano is used as the base material for the Fresco Collection and for many Carving Designs.

mafi’s popular “OAK Country” floors impress with their vibrancy lent by knots and cracks that are full of character. As a standard, the cracks in mafi “OAK Country” Planks are highlighted by hand with black putty. The resulting contrast, between the light oak color and the dark cracks, creates an intriguing surface image. This authentic variety accents the wood’s natural growth all the more clearly.
But Oak Country is not necessarily rustic. A floor is always just the starting-point for a room. The final look is created only by the interior design that goes along with it. Naturally, this floor fits perfectly into traditional room concepts. However, it gets really exciting as a contrast to the modern, minimalist style, which often lacks the warmth one desires. The two together are a perfect combination: a modern, yet cozy home.

“OAK Clear” delights with simple elegance, it comes without any knots or cracks and shines through the oak’s characteristic grain alone, which is beautifully accented by natural oil finishing.
You could even say that mafi “OAK Clear” is a tree’s filet mignon. Because from all the planks that a tree gives us, we select knotless planks that foster a calm overall picture. “OAK Clear” is a parquet for anyone who wants a floor that never goes out of fashion and knows how to adapt to the times, as well as any interior.
