Ash Parquet
Ash parquet is a high-quality wood floor made from ash wood. This light-colored wood is notable for its great hardness and oak-like grain. Ash parquet is therefore suitable for both modern and classic living spaces and can also be installed over radiant floor heating systems.
Modern and Vibrant - Ash Parquet
Ash is very similar to oak. Its hardness and durability are virtually identical, and these qualities, combined with its good elasticity, make this inviting wood a solid choice not only for parquet flooring and furniture making, but also for sports equipment and tool handles. The annual rings of ash are clearly visible and enhance the surface texture and lively character of the wood.

Gradings, colors and finishes
Ash parquet is available in a wide variety of gradings, colors and surface finishes.
Ash Parquet Natur
Natural-grade ash parquet flooring is characterized by its light, yellowish-white coloring and lively, distinctive grain. The bright ash wood creates a welcoming, open and spacious feel, making it particularly well suited to modern, light-filled interiors.
Distinctive annual growth rings and a pronounced wood structure are characteristic of ash parquet flooring. Depending on the grade, the interplay of color and grain can appear more subtle and harmonious or more expressive and dynamic, giving each floor its individual character. Natural Ash combines the authentic beauty of real wood with a bright, contemporary aesthetic, making the floor an expressive element of interior design.
Ash Heartwood Parquet
When we refer to heartwood ash, we are talking about wood from the center of the trunk. The color of the heartwood differs significantly from the surrounding sapwood. As a result, heartwood ash parquet, with its heartwood inclusions, has a particularly vibrant and exciting appearance. The heartwood is reddish-brown in color, in contrast to the otherwise light-colored ash wood. The older the ash tree, the more attractive and irregular the light-dark grain of the heartwood becomes. This makes this ash parquet flooring ideal as a statement floor for rooms with strong character.
Ash Perla
Soft white ash parquet
Ash parquet in our Perla shade combines the characteristic grain of ash with a delicate, light hue, which gives the parquet an even lighter appearance.

Ash on Every Level
To create a cohesive interior, ash parquet can also be extended to the stairs. Ash stair treads, matched to the wood, color, and finish of the floor, create a seamless look and connect the different levels of the room.
Herringbone Parquet in Ash
When crafted from ash, the classic herringbone pattern naturally takes on a light and more modern look. The light base color makes the geometric structure appear open and clear, while the characteristic grain adds natural movement. This brings together two strong elements: the precise geometry of the herringbone and the lively, distinctive grain of the ash. The result is a parquet floor with character—classic in form, yet surprisingly contemporary in effect.
FAQ Ash parquet
Our answers to frequently asked questions will help you quickly find the information you need about ash hardwood flooring and its various uses.
Ash hardwood flooring is hard, resilient, and features a striking grain pattern. Ash typically has a light appearance and creates a modern, inviting atmosphere in a room. Its high hardness makes ash hardwood flooring durable enough for everyday use and suitable for high-traffic living areas. Depending on the surface finish, ash can be made to look very light or slightly warmer and fits well with modern interior design concepts.

This creates a lively, inviting, and modern look that works particularly well in bright, open spaces. Oak also offers numerous modern design options and is available in many shades and grades.

Both types of wood are sturdy, durable, and high-quality—so the choice depends primarily on the desired color effect and your personal interior design style.
Ash hardwood flooring is classified as a hardwood and is highly resistant to wear and tear. The wood’s elastic structure helps reduce indentations caused by everyday use. Ash is therefore well-suited for high-traffic living areas. The surface treatment also affects the flooring’s suitability for everyday use: lacquered surfaces are more stain-resistant, while oiled surfaces are easier to maintain and repair in specific areas.
Ash hardwood flooring is protected by regular dry cleaning, as sand is the most common cause of scratches. Wet cleaning should only be done with a slightly damp cloth. Oiled ash hardwood flooring requires regular maintenance to preserve its protective properties. Varnished ash hardwood flooring is easier to maintain, but should also be protected from harsh cleaners and standing water.
Ash parquet is suitable for use with underfloor heating, especially when installed as multilayer parquet. Its dimensionally stable construction reduces stress caused by temperature changes. A controlled heating phase prevents cracking and gaps. Full-surface gluing improves heat transfer. A consistent indoor climate with 40–60% humidity promotes stability and reduces visible changes during the heating season.
Ash hardwood flooring has a bright, clean, and modern look. Its distinctive grain creates a lively appearance and makes rooms feel more open. Ash hardwood flooring pairs particularly well with light-colored furniture, concrete-look finishes, and minimalist designs. Thanks to its light color, ash is also well-suited for smaller rooms, as the floor appears less dominant than darker wood species.

Characteristics of ash parquet
The perfect combination of strength, toughness and elasticity make the ash a true flooring masterpiece. In addition to its great robustness and stability, ash parquet also has an enchanting grain.
