Hard shell, soft look: American walnut provides warmth and a sense of well-being.

Whether as an energy-rich snack after Nordic walking or as a delicious topping for homemade Bircher muesli in the morning, nuts are good for our bodies. The wood of the nut trees, which give us their aromatic fruits, also ensures well-being. Its harmonious appearance and chocolate-brown color make walnut wood a pleasure for all the senses. In addition to particularly fine parquet flooring, walnut is often used to make musical instruments or chess pieces. Bring the wood of the artists into your home as a plank or ship's floor and let yourself be inspired by the seductive charm of this parquet.

The American walnut is a member of the walnut family and originally comes from eastern North America. Its dark wood shines with a dark brown or purple-brown colour. Wood defects and irregularities transform walnut wood into a parquet floor with unmistakable character. Even the annual rings of the walnut can be clearly seen in the elegant grain.

American walnut or European walnut?

In contrast to the dark walnut wood from America, the wood of the European walnut is somewhat lighter and has a slightly reddish shimmer. The colouring of the black walnut, as the American walnut is also called, is more uniform than that of its European counterpart.

A resilient wood for your floor

When choosing your new parquet, it's not just the look that matters. Depending on the room in which you want to lay the planks, the hardness of the respective wood can be decisive. As wood is a living material straight from nature, the different types of wood do not have a fixed hardness, but rather a certain hardness range depending on how they grow. In the case of American walnut, this is in the medium range. American walnut is therefore a medium-hard wood that is stable and robust and at the same time flexible and elastic.

Colour change of walnut wood

Whether in nature or in your own four walls, wood is an organic material that changes over time. The colour of real wood planks also changes after many years of exposure to sunlight. The UV light of the sun causes walnut to darken. The grain of walnut wood also appears less nuanced after long exposure to sunlight.

Design your home: What goes well with walnut parquet?

Walnut parquet gives your home a particularly homely atmosphere thanks to its warm chocolate brown to black-brown color. If you combine the elegant floorboards with dark wooden furniture, they will make your home even more cozy. With individual pieces of light-colored furniture, they skilfully set accents. Dark wallpaper goes just as well with walnut parquet flooring as wooden wall cladding. If you prefer a lighter color, you can of course also opt for a classic white wall. In the end, it's all down to your personal taste. Whether ship's floor or plank, an American walnut parquet floor offers countless design options.

May we introduce: Our American walnut parquet range

Walnut parquet is particularly impressive as a generous plank. In the Universal grade with an oiled surface, the floor looks particularly natural and lively. As a quieter Markant grade, this wood flooring looks calm and elegant with a pronounced pattern. But the dark parquet flooring with three rows of walnut slats in the Favorit grade also impresses with its appealing play of colors. A balanced mixture of calm to lively slats provides variety on the floor. In the Trend grade, this walnut parquet has a classic, natural and timeless look.

Our American walnut parquet flooring is also available as strip parquet in a 2-layer construction and therefore offers even more installation options. Visually, the parquet flooring in the Country grade has strong color differences that create interesting patterns. In contrast, the walnut strip parquet in the Exquisit/Trend range has a more harmonious, calm and elegant appearance with a uniform structure and color.

Please note: strip parquet must always be glued down over the entire surface, preferably by a professional.
