A clever investment.

mafi floors have a lot of positive advantages not only the optical look and uniqueness they are especially long lasting and dimensionally stable in each region of the world.

Particularly in hotels and gastronomy these facts are very important as you don’t want to change or sand your floor time and time again as with carpets or low quality floors. This means that you do not have to shut down the hotel for renovation and disrupt your guest’s stay as mafi floors are long lasting and do not have to be sanded.

“Overall it is more cost effective, smarter and less work intensive to invest in a high quality floor and use it for a long time. In my opinion the biggest advantage is that the floor becomes more authentic the longer you live with it”, Harald Maier, CSO of mafi, mentions.

Why are mafi floors long-lasting?

The main reason is the oiled and therefore open pore surface that should always be cleaned with mafi soap. Correct floor care helps your natural wood floors to retain their beauty. So the longer you have a mafi floor and the more often you soap it the more resistant it will become.

What is the correct care?

mafi Oil
After installation the natural wooden floor must be polished again with mafi Wood Floor Oil or mafi Professional Oil. Only then the floor is perfectly protected against daily use. This is the reason why you can use it for heavily frequented areas like bars, restaurants and hotels.

mafi Soap
Whenever you clean the floor use the mafi soap. To soap the floor means to clean, to care for and to antibacterial the floor. It is almost like reoiling the floor with each washing.

It’s the same with your skin, whenever you wash your hands you should not use kitchen or floor cleaning fluids, you should use some moisturising (re-fatting) soap. This is also the reason why we call our floors the body’s third skin. Both are open pored, both can breathe and both protects us.

By taking care of your wooden floor with mafi soap – your floor will reward you with it’s beauty!

mafi Story:
A natural wooden floor after many years of use gets a patina because of daily use and stains and cracks on it. So the older the floor is the more valuable the floor looks. If people choose hardwood floors they get the patina later then with softwood floors. If customers don’t want to wait to get a very exclusive wooden plank floor they mostly choose floors with additional hand crafted patina, like our mafi Magic Oak line with it’s hand planed surface. Softwood in contrast is very charming at first because of it’s softer, gives warmer feeling and gets a patina look quicker.
We once had a hotel owner who had the entrance area made with our mafi Larch wide plank. The 5m long and 30cm wide boards looked fantastic and welcomed the people in this exclusive hotel. After 8 years of successful Tourism he wanted to change the floor because it started to look worn. Don’t get us wrong, the floor looked awesome with a lot of charm but he wanted to lay a new one. When mafi’s sales executive asked him how many beautiful women with high heels and how many VIPs walked on this floor he realized that the floor has a history and a lot of stories to tell. At the end of the day he didn’t change the floor and he is still welcoming his guests on this beautiful storytelling part of history.

mafi floors are never worn out – they are worn in.
