Material honesty
Natural wood flooring combines beauty, performance, and sustainability—but the Mafi range takes this to the next level. Part of the Praxis collection at Solid Floor, Mafi is crafted in Austria with a focus on material honesty, exceptional stability, and a pure, breathable finish that appeals to designers who demand excellence.
Whether for residential, commercial, or specialist projects, Mafi offers a refined timber experience that performs beautifully in a variety of interiors.
High Stability with a 3-Layer Construction
At the heart of this flooring is a symmetrical 3-layer construction, engineered for maximum stability. By using the same timber species and thermal treatment on the top and bottom layers, the planks remain balanced—even across large-format layouts and of course underfloor heating systems.
Key benefits:
– Dimensional stability
– Reduced risk of gaps or cracks
– Ideal for high-traffic, high-performance environments
Linseed Oil Finish: A Natural Approach to Surface Protection
Mafi planks are finished exclusively with air-dried linseed oil, a natural treatment that penetrates deep into the wood. This creates an open-pored, breathable surface that preserves the warmth and texture of the timber—without synthetic coatings or sealants. The natural linseed oil finish highlights the wood’s authentic grain while supporting long-term durability.
This finish isn’t just good for the wood—it’s good for the space, and ultimately, for the people who live and work in it.
Supporting Healthier Indoor Environments
Because of its breathable, toxin-free finish, the timber actively contributes to healthier interiors. It naturally regulates humidity and resists bacteria and allergens, making it an excellent choice for spaces where well-being is paramount.
For example, these floors have been specified in healthcare and education buildings—such as an asthma treatment centre in Australia—where maintaining high indoor air quality is critical. The Allergy Medical Clinic in Sydney features Mafi Larch Brushed White Oil floors chosen for their chemical-free finish and ability to improve indoor air quality. As a partner of the National Asthma Council Australia’s Sensitive Choice® program, Mafi supports healthier living environments for asthma and allergy care.
Effortless Maintenance & Practical Repair
Cleaning Mafi floors requires only floor soap and water. The recommended wood floor soap nourishes the timber, enhancing its resilience and natural patina with regular use.
When damage occurs, spot repairs can be carried out locally without refinishing the entire floor—making it a sustainable and practical solution for long-lasting beauty. Our installation team is fully trained to deal with this.
Natural Wood Colour Through Thermal Treatment
Mafi’s colours are not created with stains or chemical treatments. Instead, the tone of each board is achieved through a combination of thermal treatment and natural oxidation—enhancing the wood’s inherent character without masking it. The result is an honest, nuanced palette that develops depth over time, allowing the natural grain and texture to remain fully visible.
Versatile Species and Design Options
The Mafi range offers a curated selection of species, including oak, ash, larch, and walnut, available in wide plank formats and classic parquet patterns like herringbone and chevron and Versailles panels. There is even an endgrain option.
To support integrated design schemes, matching wall cladding and bespoke table tops crafted from the same timber are also available, providing continuity across interiors.
