With HeartOak, we make a virtue of the heritage and inner secrets of the oak tree. The 150 to 200 year old oak trees tell a very special story. The hard winters, dry summers, storm and wind they have lived through leave traces. Some of these traces can be seen in the annual rings and the size of the knots, while others appear only when the tree is sawn-up.
During the cutting and drying process, the wood has to release the inner tensions from a long life in the woods, leaving characteristic cracks in the tree. In our production facilities, the tree is gently processed and the natural cracks are preserved. As a particularly beautiful detail, the cracks are locked by butterfly joints of oak.
We source our raw wood from large oak trees of the finest quality from elected European forests where the stands are tended with the greatest care and respect for nature.
The oak trees have been planted five or six generations ago and have weathered everything that has come their way over the past 150 to 200 years. It is an attainment and heritage that calls for respect, and we always strive to make the best possible use of the tree.
HeartOak planks are produced in extraordinary dimensions with widths up to 50 centimetres and lengths up to 5 metres.
As an old family business, we appreciate the importance of planning for the future. Therefore, we only use raw wood from sustainable forestry where the stands are tended with the greatest care and respect for nature. We source most of our wood from Germany, but we also work with other European countries where forestry has been based on sustainable principles for centuries.
An important element of sustainable forestry is cutting down one tree at a time, thus giving the trees a chance to grow strong and live out their total capacity, before they are felled and ready to serve new purposes. That is sustainability in practice.
Our planks are very well suited for underfloor heating and we recommend installing it as a comfortable and durable solution.
About 80% of our projects are established with underfloor heating. We have years of experience with underfloor heating under solid floors, and it is an unproblematic solution, provided you adhere our instructions.
