6 Elegant in shape, spacious in appearance: Not without reason, plank 1-strip ranks among the most luxurious parquet designs. It conveys a prestigious impression in every ambience. M o r e r o o m t o e x p r e s s y o u r s e l f. Plank 1-strip Plank 1-strip The top layer of each plank consists of a single, comparatively wide strip of wood. This design gives the room an air of generous spaciousness. HAR also offers plank 1-strip variants with bevelled edges and a brushed surface. 180 x 2200 mm or 173 x 2200 mm

8 S i m p l y U n i q u e. NEW: ak Sauvage With its striking texture, oak Sauvage complements the trend towards floor surfaces with a very lively look. Structural elements such as large knots, heartwood, checks and a few wormholes give this design floor its unique, unmistakable character. ak Markant white White oiling lends the surface of oak wood a delicate transparency in tune with the latest trends. White oak is a very sensitive floor as the light-coloured pigments are only at the surface of the wood. Damage or wear from high traffic will therefore expose the natural colour of the wood. White oak is thus an elegant parquet floor for lowtraffic residential applications. HAR PARQUET plank 1-strip oak Sauvage

11 Plank 1-strip S m o k e d a k / A f r i c a n a k Smoked oak A special heat treatment turns premium oak wood into the prestigious smoked oak. In a process based on hot water and pressure, this unique parquet floor takes on its warm honey colour. HAR PARQUET plank 1-strip African oak African oak A smoking process gives African oak its rich dark colour. Due to special substances contained in oak wood, this treatment achieves a change of colouration in the wood not only on the surface, but through and through. The parquet floor can therefore be sanded and refinished later, as required, without any problem. A look at the fashionable appearance of smoked oak and African oak shows how versatile the distinctive oak wood is. Almost spellbinding, it turns any room into an enchanting living space with an individual flair. PARKETT 10 11

12 V i b r a n t E x o t i c P o w e r. Merbau Merbau is an exotic wood native to Eastern Asia and the Pacific Isles. It is even harder than oak and displays a brownish wine-red colouration. Its coarse, large-pored texture gives this wood species a particularly striking appearance. Exotic wood species like merbau add a particularly expressive flair to every home. The striking grainage of this wood, its reddish glint and high strength make HAR PARQUET merbau highly compelling.

14 T h e F l o o r f r o m t h e W o o d l a n d s. HAR PARKETT plank 1-strip larch brushed Coniferous wood succeeds through a very special naturalness which finds its typical expression in a great number of knots. The temperament of larch also shows in its colouration which leans towards the more reddish tones.

15 Plank 1-strip L a r c h Larch brushed This textured surface is achieved by brushing out the soft sections of the larch wood. This makes larch even tougher and enhances its natural radiance. Larch white White oiling lends the surface of larch wood a delicate transparency in tune with the latest trends. White larch is a very sensitive floor as the light-coloured pigments are only at the surface of the wood. Damage or wear from high traffic will therefore expose the natural colour of the wood. White larch is thus an elegant parquet floor for low-traffic residential applications. HAR PARKETT plank 1-strip larch white PARKETT 14 15

Native European wood species in naturally darkened tones are used for these variants. The plank 1-strip design optimally showcases the vibrant, yet highly elegant look of thermo wood.

17 Plank 1-strip T h e r m o W o o d Thermo wood Thermo wood is produced in special thermal processing chambers. There, the cell structure of the wood is changed permanently by a natural process based on a combination of high temperature, water vapour and a lot of patience. HAR PARQUET plank 1-strip thermo ash Mezzo brushed with bevelled edge The resulting wood is darker and harder. all thermo floors come with a bevelled edge on the long sides, which excellently emphasises its solid-wood appearance. A great advantage of thermo wood is that the special treatment reduces swelling and shrinkage in the wood. Thermo wood initially has a characteristic scent of open wood fire, which will disappear after a while however. PARKETT 16 17

59 T h e C o m p a n y Hamberger for 140 years this name has been standing for a sound success through true values: Reliability, quality, permanence and fairness - from the ground up. No wonder that we have gathered an enormous knowledge in our special field during all this time and this is clearly reflected in the quality of every inch of parquet. For then as much as now we have never contented ourselves with our achievements. This has made us what we are today and what we are determined to remain: An internationally successful company with a rich tradition and a bright future. Anyone who works with nature, will of course see it from a different angle: Not the exploitation of the forest, but its ecologically sustainable management governs our actions. The path from the tender little tree seedling to the precious wood parquet is far at least in terms of time. therwise, we advocate short distances: The majority of our timber comes from our neighbourhood the Alpine region. An ecologically sustainable, environmentally safe production has always been of great importance to us. Certification to numerous standards provides ready proof that we meet the sustainability requirements in word and action. We guarantee our quality. The trunks are debarked and machined in our in-house sawmill. In many further processing steps, they are manufactured first into block boards and then into the top layer of your parquet flooring. Now comes the moment of truth: ur experienced and exacting quality assurance staff scrutinise the result. With a keen trained eye, they assure the high quality of the HAR surface. The perfect interaction between human and machine, between experience and quality awareness forges your HAR Parquet square foot by square foot, each and every day. The certification of our quality management system according to DIN EN IS 9001 assures a consistent high product quality.
