Origin plank
HØRNING Origin plank is made of carefully selected timber from trees in Danish and German forests: trees that are several hundred years old. Quality takes time. That is why it can take 2 years from the moment the trees are felled to the moment the floor is ready to be fitted. This unique solid flooring comes in particularly formidable dimensions: up to 35 mm thick, up to 40 cm wide, and up to 16 metres long. An exceptional flooring solution, which will make any room seem bigger and longer.

HØRNING’s Origin plank floors
HØRNING’s are made of fresh wood customised to the dimensions of the plank floors. On the whole, large dimensions will include the most variations, knots, fillings etc.
Wood is a wonderful natural material, so variation vis-à-vis descriptions and photos will always occur. Any samples show only dimension and texture and cannot show the grading. Variations will certainly occur between small samples and actual deliveries.
They come untreated in Exquisit, Living and Country gradings. The planks are sanded and surface treated after fitting.
Exquisit
General uniform colour and wood structure. Variations due to growth conditions will always exist. Healthy knots and a few fillings of knots and minor cracks may be found. Whirls, small scratches and cross grains, sapwood and brownheart may be found to a small extent. Also this grade involves, that the wider and longer the planks are, the more and bigger variations, knots etc. will be found.
Living
A more characteristic look with natural colours and wood structure. In principle free of open knots, cracks, pith etc. Whirls, healthy knots, small scratches, cross grains and silicon stains will be found depending of the wood specie. Knots occur naturally in both small and big dimensions. Open knots, cracks etc. are filled. Sapwood, brownheart and pith will be found depending of the wood specie.
Country
Very characteristic look with all natural colour variations and wood structures. Knots of all types, sapwood, brownheart, filled knots and cracks will be found. Open knots, cracks and fillings may be found.
Types of pattern
Origin plank can be supplied and laid in an abundance of different combinations and, by adding rubber joints and borders, the options are virtually infinite.
