The detail beneath the beauty.

Construction

Most HARO floors are three-layer engineered timber: an approx. 3.5 mm wear layer of hand-graded European oak, bonded to a cross-stacked solid spruce core over a softwood backing veneer. Laying the middle layer crosswise reduces the natural movement of the wood by up to 70% — so the board stays flat and stable, season after season, where a solid board would swell and shrink. And because the oak wear layer is genuine and substantial, it can be sanded back several times over the floor's life.

Our parkettmanufaktur herringbone and strip parquet use a two-layer construction, just 10 mm thick with a ~3.5 mm oak top — a low build height that's ideal for renovations and always laid bonded.

Board formats

• Plank 1-Strip PLAZA — extra-wide, 240 × 2200 mm.
• Plank 1-Strip — the classic, 180 × 2200 mm.
• Longstrip (3-strip) — a finer, traditional pattern, 180 × 2200 mm.
• Herringbone, Carré & XL — hand-finished parkettmanufaktur formats, up to 4 m long.

Surfaces & finishes

Two things shape how a floor looks and feels: the finish (how it's sealed or oiled) and the structure (how the surface is textured).

Finish

• naturaDur — a high-performance surface that combines the soft, natural feel of an oiled floor with hard-wearing protection against wear; matt, scratch- and stain-resistant, and easy to maintain. Also rated for contract use.
• permaDur — a robust, high-performance lacquer for the busiest, high-traffic spaces.
• naturaLin plus & oleovera — breathable natural oils that penetrate the wood for a genuinely matt, natural look and feel, and can be refreshed in place over the years.

Structure

• Smooth — a velvety-matt, pleasantly even surface.
• Brushed / Structured — the soft annual rings are brushed out to lift the grain for an authentic, tactile feel.
• Alpine & Retro structured — a more pronounced, rustic texture that emphasises the natural growth and knots of the wood.

Wood character & grades

Grade describes how much natural character a floor shows — knots, colour variation and grain — not its quality. Every HARO board is made to the same standard; the grade simply sets the personality, from calm and uniform to lively and rustic.

• Universal — a balanced mix with natural colour and grain movement; a lively, versatile look.
• Markant — natural knots and grain for a classic, characterful floor.
• Naturale — natural colour differences and knots; a warm, honest expression of oak.
• Sauvage — the most expressive: larger knots, cracks and filled areas for a trend-rustic character.

Wood is a natural product — every plank is individual, so grade descriptions are a guide, not an exact specification.

Installation — three ways

• Floating · Top Connect click — fast, glue-free and removable; the most popular method for 3-layer floors.
• Full-surface bonding — glued with HARO's low-emission elastic adhesive for the quietest underfoot feel and best heat transfer over underfloor heating.
• ComforTec self-adhesive — self-adhesive planks over HARO Primer: the quiet of a glued floor with the speed of a click install.

Underfloor heating

The entire HARO parquet range is suitable for modern underfloor heating and cooling. Bonded installation gives the best heat transfer — and because timber feels warm underfoot, you can typically run the system a degree or two cooler.

Warranty

HARO engineered floors carry a 30-year residential warranty (laminate 25 years), subject to correct installation and care.
