Larch Vulcano in a Loft in New York City

Have a look at this wonderful project in New York City in Tribeca. It is a very beautiful Loft with a very own character. The mafi Larch Vulcano brushed natural oiled appropriates good with the design and the furniture of this Loft. It’s a nice mixture of natural floor and design classics.

mafi America, CEO Nic Neumann finished this beautiful project and told us that the customer is very happy with the floor. We are very grateful about this feedback and wish all mafi customers a happy new year and a lot of happiness with their floors.

The Larch Vulcano, brushed and oiled is not only a design highlight good to combine with modern architecture and interior but also a fantastic floor with a marvellous surface to walk barefoot on. As of the brushed structure the floor is somehow creating a warm and massing surface to your feet.

Black Tiger Oak in California

In a private residence in California we recently installed a Tiger Oak black colour filler. We are very happy that the Tiger Oak becomes more and more popular also in Amrican Design and Architecture. They just love the combination of naturalness and design.

Showroom Bauscher porcelain with mafi Coral Oak

mafi Coral Oak with CC Custom Colour is now install in a Showroom from Bauscher porcelain Munic/GER. Coral Oak white oiled with the same colour filler as the colour of the porcelain, is a beautiful harmonize combination. The white colour filler blends well with the white oiled Oak and there are some more Coral products where the colours also harmonize very good with the wood. Exactly these combinations are useful for public areas and also for private homes.

Whenever we make projects in showrooms we are very happy because of two reasons. First of all mafi floors, especially Tiger Oaks, Coral Oaks, mafi Carving floors and Fresco floors are like a marketing concept. Shop customers recognize the special floors and spread the word, which often works very well.
Secondly floors in highly frequented areas like showrooms always show very good how durable mafi floors are – also after years of heavy use.

Get a good impression…

Wall design in Department Store in Seoul/Korea

Now as the project from our partner “Armstrong Korea” with mafi Domino Larch Vulcano is finished we are very proud to present this beautiful Domino Larch wall design. The Domino Larch elements in Seoul are now half a year installed and our partner and especially the customer is very satisfied.

Here you can see the last text about this installation. which was a very complicated solution as of the very humid climate in Korea and the very contrary climate inside the house with and without air condition.

Fresco duna in antique house’s bathroom

One of mafi’s massage effect floors is now installed in a 400 year old private house in Bavaria/GER. They used the Beech Vulcano Fresco duna not only for the floor but also for the bath tub covering. This is a very difficult installation because of the surfaces structure and the humid conditions in bathrooms. On the pictures you can see that each plank of the covering is ongoing around the edge.

Please also have a look on the perfectly done solution of the connection areas to tiles and to a 400 year old stone wall where the the floor exactly follows the shape of the natural stone wall.

Technical information to natural wooden floors in bathrooms:

The planks must be glued to the subfloor firmly with elastic adhesive. Impregnate the cut edges with mafi Wood Floor Oil so that the wood does not swell. An Expansion gap of min. 5 mm must be left at the edge – also  when the join is with sanitary ware (baths, shower basins, etc…)

Subsequent treatment with the appropriate mafi Wood Floor Oil is absolutely necessary after installation. The regular care should be with mafi Wood Floor Soap. Subsequent care is carried out as required using mafi Wood Floor Soap. Please avoid pools of water on the wood’s surface and/ or soak up immediately!

special details with Oak Vulcano in private house

In a private house in Dingolfing, GER our mafi Oak Vulcano brushed natural oiled is installed in a superior quality. You will find the material running through the house like a common theme. They used glass, high-grade steel and wood not only for the floor also for all other details in the house.

How they used Oak Vulcano?

In the living room for the top of the cupboard, the stairs between the kitchen cupboards and for all other stairs as well. By the stairs the steps and risers are cladded with Oak Vulcano. In the bathroom there is the wood on the floor and the top of the cupboard as well. The stairs and the handrail from the first to the second floor is also with Oak Vulcano. This dark floor with white walls in combination with the glass looks very fashionable. In the second floor there is also a beautiful detail around the glass. The solid wood skirting is done in a very small dimension to keep it as plain as possible.

carving standard design

mafi has, in its accustomed innovatively manner, created a further variation of artistic wooden floors, with which we particularly want to appeal to international operating brands. The mafi Carving line is as outstanding and unique as our nature is it selves especially with all the different possible designs – and still following mafi’s credo of creating natural floors only.

To give an idea what is possible to make with this new line we made 5 different groups of floors and patterns as our standard designs that are made for everybody:

Allowed to paint

Knowing that a lot of our attitudes and skills we gain in the first couples of years of our life we developed the carving Kids I & II which is not only creating a natural and healthy environment for our young ones but also forcing their creativity. This floor is made for painting and coloring it so that kiddies can create their own interior.

Lord of fashion

In one of our previous Magazines we talked about the “less is more” phenomena and our cognition that world wide architects try to minimize material mix and are using our floors also for walls, ceilings and furniture.
mafi Carving Nana I and Empire I are orientated on vintage wall coverings like tiles and wall papers for lordly interior concepts.

Tartan style & anti slip

Wherever you want to relax, feel well or recreate it is always nice to have wooden floors that regulate humidity and create a healthy atmosphere. This is why more and more Spas and Wellness Clubs are doing their floors with wood. In wet areas anti-slippery surfaces are and important issue. This is why Carving Club I with its tartan texture is not only a wonderful wall covering but especially a fantastic anti-skidding floor.

Revolution of ornaments

No matter if you want a slight shade of lines, deep structures or a congenial mix of both, with the Carving line you can do all different kinds of patterns in one design. The mafi Carving Paisley I can be used as a glamorous but also a very funky design for walls, ceiling, furniture and floors.

A trend like a style

Used, young, crazy, vintage, different, BUT natural – Grunge I
For Hotels and Bars it is always important to have good food, drinks and service but also to be unique. For modern, trendsetting and prestigious Bars, Restaurants and Shops we developed the Carving Grunge I to ensure a stylish ambience in addition to creating a significant increase in brand awareness and familiarity – especially if you do a customized design.

Beech floors up to amazing 5 meters

Several years ago there was a project in Switzerland where an owner of a little castle wanted to make floors out of amazing big beeches standing majestically in his chateau’s park. As he couldn’t find any floor production willingly to risk a production of thes gigantic big beech trees he finally came to mafi and found a company reducing the risk of warping by a high quality manufacturing.

This project was the initial spark of developing the Vulcano Rosso. The Rosso is a slightly thermal treated beech with maximum sizes of 5m lengths and 30cm widths and an incomparable natural texture. The boards create an incredible generous feeling and make something special out of every room.

The Vulcano Rosso is also available with the Riva Mezzo Surface.
