Daily Craftmanship

3 / 100

Josefine Alstrup

Every day, our journey begins with raw wood. This is where we make the most important decision: selecting the wood with the greatest potential.

Raw Wood as the First Choice – Quality from the Start 

Every day, our journey begins with raw wood. This is where we make the most important decision: selecting the wood with the greatest potential. We don’t just look at its appearance - we consider its depth, texture, and story. This careful selection lays the foundation for our renown quality.   

Once the raw wood is chosen, we begin a crucial process: drying. It’s not just about reducing moisture; it’s about finding the perfect balance. We take the time to ensure the wood reaches the right moisture level to make it strong and durable - a process we’ve mastered over time.    

As our fourth foreman, Claus Hansen, explains: 

"Wood isn’t just wood - a great wooden floor remains great when it’s crafted with care, precision, and the dedication we bring to our work every day. It’s this attention to detail that ensures the floor can last for generations. For me, it’s more than just work - it’s a legacy we continue to build every day."  

The Craftsmanship Behind Perfection

In production, there’s no room for compromise. Every plank and board is processed with precision to achieve the smallest tolerances in the industry. Our focus is not only on functionality but also on creating a product that stands the test of time. We know it’s the smallest details that make the biggest difference.    

Preserving the Natural Beauty of Wood

When we present the finished product, it's more than just a floor - it's a piece of history and craftsmanship, carrying the timeless beauty of wood forward. Our wood flooring becomes an integral part of long-term projects, creating spaces that endure both in function and aesthetics. We take pride in delivering products that, with proper care, will last for decades. 

We’re equipped to handle the most unique projects, where the floor is not merely a replica, but a bespoke design. Through close collaboration with architects and engineers, we’ve successfully completed both restorations and new solutions. Our expertise and experience allow us to create floors that not only support but also enhance the distinct vision of each project.
