Manufacturer Schotten & Hansen is the ideal partner for general contractors, architects and designers. In fact, it is the natural outcome of their upscale refined wood surfaces. Thanks to health-oriented, long-enduring and highly individualized residential quality of floors, walls, doors, stairs, extending all the way to furniture facades. Over the last four decades Schotten & Hansen has become one of the most in-demand international specialists for hardwood floors and interiors. Their products are implemented to fruition in close teamwork with an international network of architects and designers – in private homes, in hotels, all the way to properties in the public domain and interiors of yachts. What is the characteristic hallmark of all these forms? Highly expressive, highly robust and long-living surfaces. This degree of quality is reached through refining natural resins, waxes and oils.

A wide variety of components such as varieties of woods, workmanship methods and stainings/colourings permit each client a vast range of selection possibilities and combinations of individual products. Thus, it becomes a simple matter to achieve a unified surface harmony throughout your rooms. The features of the wood remain intact: human warmth, elasticity, diffusion openness. Its natural protection doesn’t merely hold up against normal wear-and-tear. Even when it gets wet, e.g. in bathrooms, its functionality remains upright to perfection.
