Behind the Scenes: Inside Outside



Purpose and relation
Be it for reasons of leisure, climate change or enhanced consciousness of our wellbeing, fact is that we spend more and more time outdoors. Not only is it expressed in a renewed interest in optimal care of the dynamic relationship between the comfort of our home and the adjacent exterior areas, but it also fosters a different kind of design thinking where what’s happening in and outside are intrinsically related, exuding one and the same luxurious ambiance and matching quality of life. They even enhance each other. Take a faded Silver-grey finish on a American Walnut flooring; Oak and African Mahogany Weathered Grey; or Iceberg Hardwax on Ash and Douglas Fir — all shades that naturally strengthen each other’s beauty.
Functionality
What exterior areas are suitable for hardwood planking depends less on the usage, and function of the area, and more on the sensorial qualities that area should express. Take spa zones, traditionally set up in stone, but nowadays, more and more homeowners feel that warm solid wood beneath your bare foot is at least equally pleasant.
Thinner (19-22mm) and medium-sized (up to 30mm) Mahogany boards are used for balconies and wellness areas, whereas thicker boards (up to 150mm) are perfect for creating terraces, pergolas, and piers
