The floor is delivered untreated, so you can choose exactly the surface treatment that matches your style – from white oil to matte lacquer or a more golden oil.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOver time, a Douglas floor develops a beautiful patina, which emphasizes the wood's natural character and gives the room personality.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDouglas is part of the softwood family and is a softer wood species. On the Brinell scale, which is used to measure the hardness of wood species, Douglas typically measures around 1.4 - 1.6, placing it below harder wood species such as oak and ash. This means that Douglas floors are more susceptible to pressure marks, scratches, and wear, especially in high-traffic areas or where shoes with hard soles are used.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDue to its grain, this wood species is also prone to developing cracks if you are not extra careful to saturate the surface with oil or soap after installation and before use, as well as with subsequent care and maintenance. Hairline cracks (up to 0.5 mm in width) may occur in this wood species.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTo ensure a functional and aesthetic floor, so that the strength and visual integrity of the floor surface are maintained, this wood species will feature filling of cracks and knots with specially adapted sanding filler and\/or hotmelt. Similarly, fallen knots can be replaced with fresh \"new\" knots adapted to the wood species, so that color tone and structure are preserved.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRead more in our data sheet.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Wiking Gulve","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50882757394779,"sku":"27041518500000000","price":899.0,"currency_code":"DKK","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0892\/5328\/2139\/files\/DouglasludoghvidolietraegulvWikingGulve_dea43a48-58cc-48b1-9908-33e6d17e62b8.jpg?v=1753457220","url":"https:\/\/wikinggulve.dk\/en\/products\/douglas-15x185-ubehandlet","provider":"Wiking Gulve","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
