Ash
Ash’s sapwood is almost white and the heartwood ranges from grey through light brown to light yellow with
brown streaks. It has a bold, straight, moderately open grain with occasional wavy figuring. Some grades have
very special figuring, which gives the floor an entirely unique and lively character. Ash undergoes a medium
degree of change over time from a lighter freshly sanded tone to a straw/tan colour. Ash is approximately 10%
harder than Oak.
