Everything
but Oak!

Oak is always okay – but what about flooring alternatives?

When people think of flooring, they usually have oak in mind - a classic that is often the first choice and can be found in many rooms. This is also reflected at Interprint. For the decor printers from Arnsberg, oak decors are standard – from rustic to elegant, from dark to light. 
Multi-facets – it is impossible to imagine the market without them, but other wood decors should not be underestimated. Elm, chestnut, ash or teak enrich interior design, create entirely new moods and are well on the way to ushering in a new trend.

Oak is always okay! On the one hand, oak matches many interior styles and harmoniously complements the overall picture. And on the other hand, oak also conveys everlasting values such as durability and robustness. Interprint has been offering its customers a wide range of flooring oak decors for a long time. For example, Viking Oak delights lovers of the natural-rustic living style. Artisan conveys calmness and naturalness. Elegancia conjures up a distinguished elegance in the room. Is oak typically German? No, not at all. Although oak is the German´s favourite, and they have always had a particularly close connection to this symbolic tree, it is also internationally one of the most sought-after types of wood. And it will no doubt remain to be like that for a long time to come.

Standing out from the usual standards

"We want everything but oak!" Interprint hears this more and more often. If the aim is to let rooms stand out from the average room, if you want to distinguish yourself from others, then alternatives are what the customers want. And these are also available from the decor printer. Designers at Interprint started to look at different types of wood at an early stage, they exchanged ideas with interior designers and drew inspiration from nature. As a result, wood decors such as elm, ash, chestnut or teak are being developed more and more. This offers a wider range for customers: the decors are more varied and even more appealing.

Alternative types of wood for modern flooring solutions

Elm stands for soft structures and has a calming effect - and fits to the current trend theme of mindfulness. The beautiful play of colours harmonizes perfectly with a wide variety of green tones, whether as a colour on the wall or in the form of natural greenery. A pleasant floor decor for all who seek tranquillity in the home.

Ash has a similarly charming effect. Although you can hardly see any knots or cracks in the concise grain, it always appears natural, lively and inviting thanks to its wavy texture. Ash simply gives living spaces more warmth and a greater sense of comfort.

Chestnut meets the requirements of modern, multifunctional rooms in several respects. With its light shade, the very special wood grain and the natural flair, chestnut easily adapts to a changing environment - as if it were designed for decors that have to fulfil more than one purpose.

And what about teak? Isn't that reserved exclusively for terraces? Anyone who thinks like that thinks too much in terms of setting limits. And these illusions are becoming increasingly blurred. Outside becomes inside. With teak as floor decor, both outside and inside merge into a natural unity. Cosy. Earthy. Warm. The look of tropical wood conjures up a natural holiday atmosphere in the rooms all year round.

Taking a look into the future shows: Oak remains a classic. But the alternative decors from Interprint all show enough courage, creativity and power to make up some ground on oak.
