Larch Wide-Plank in Austrian Hotel Stanglwirt…

Along with the natural treatment of the wood, mafi sets the highest standards of quality for wooden floors. Particularly significant is the standard of quality in the symmetrical construction of the 3-Layer flooring: Here the upper and lower layers are constructed of the same material. This procedure ensures an even balance of the flooring and produces high stability.
Quality and Durability are the characteristics of mafi floorings. Due to their extreme load-bearing capacity, they are ideally suited for use in high traffic areas.
The famous Stanglwirt Hotel in Kitzbühel/AUSTRIA has mafi floors since more than 15 years already and is still satisfied and fascinated from the quality and the hard-wearing abiltiy of these floors. Recently they renovated and expanded their Luxurios Resort and used mafi floors in the new rooms as well.
Especially the wide and long dimension of the Larch gives the rooms a special character. The two main characteristics of a mafi wide-plank are the length of four or five meters and a ranging width between 155 and 300mm. Because of the different widths the whole floor appears very lively and enlarges the entire room.

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.

Larch and glass in Hotel Pogusch

mafi Larch wide plank brushed natural oil is fantastically installed in the hotel rooms Pogusch in Steierereck. The rooms are  outstandingly mixed with natural products and  modern design. Relaxing in the rooms you can look through glass boards directly down into a stable. We really like the combination of a wooden floor with a glass floor-window as an optical highlight next to each other.

The renaissance of wide plank larch

The minimalism is an architecture style which distinguishes itself  through its easy use of forms and through the reunciation of decoration elements. Concret lines and geometrical forms of the layout as well as a reduction of the interior decoration to the basic are amin targets of minimalism. But how to get all these minamilstic, grey and concreted architecture into a warm and cosy living atmosphere? mafi delivers the new trend for minimalism…

conifers wide plank floor in a modern way

mafi coniferous wood gives this chilly rooms a very warmly design and a good atmosphere. The extravagant surfaces of the conifer wide plank creates a consistent atmosphere for every area. Especially the lye-treated, white oile larch wide plank is ideal to create feelings with wooden floors in modern and minimalism objects without destroying them. In spite of this modern surface the larch is due to it`s astonishing and beautiful structure very warm and provides a special room feeling.
The reason for this warm and smooth feeling on the floor is the brushing and oiling process. Brushing and oiling the floor is the most natural way of protecting the floor and giving you a warm feeling when walking on it. You will love it.

naturalness

Wood can only fully develop its positive features for human and it’s living space when it is used in the most natural way possible. Besides perfectioning ecological wood processing, mafi`s passion is the creation of trends within the field of natural living. Every piece of wood is treated as a work of art in its natural growth. mafi floors combine the highest demands on quality, naturalness and design. The oiled and brushed surfaces are even increasing the feeling of nature under your feet.

what human need for living

mafi processed basically larches which surfaces are treated solely with oil, consists of absolutely pure, renewable raw materials and is bio-degradable. mafi intentionally disassociates itself from lacquer and wood surface coating so that every floor stays breathable, can regulate the rooms moisture and purify the air. This means that all natural advantages, such as warmth and a pleasant atmoshere are preserved. Soaping the floors will keep all the attributes and will make teh larch more and more resistant against dirt and stains. So the floor will get a patina with every year of living on it. It will change the same like all the dwellers will change over the years. mafi – natural art.

projects

In Greece the mafi larch is already used for over 12 years for modern objects. The mafi conifer wood is particularly in the cold season appreciated because of its natural warmth of the wood. One of the current projects is a 350 SQM private house in the Caribbean and a minimalistic design in the swiss alps where they used the mafi Larch wide plank for creating special athomsphere.
