European beech, also known as <strong>the</strong> red beech, derives its name<br />

from <strong>the</strong> elegant, mellow red hue <strong>of</strong> its wood. Thanks to its subtle<br />

grain and fine pores, it allows itself to be transformed into some <strong>of</strong><br />

<strong>the</strong> most beautiful shades, taking on <strong>the</strong> appearance <strong>of</strong> walnut or<br />

cherry, for example. <strong>The</strong> Pollmeier range <strong>of</strong>fers six attractive shades<br />

as well as <strong>the</strong> natural hue, which is reminiscent <strong>of</strong> falling autumn<br />

leaves. Those that prefer a customized color can have our untreated<br />

solid wood floor stained and sealed in <strong>the</strong>ir favorite color. <strong>The</strong>re are<br />

“Good taste is a love <strong>of</strong> beauty”<br />

Emerson<br />

Everyone can enjoy<br />

Wood<br />

is a material that has fascinated<br />

humans for thousands <strong>of</strong><br />

years. <strong>The</strong> diversity <strong>of</strong> our world is reflected<br />

in <strong>the</strong> wood <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> majestic European beech tree<br />

[Fagus sylvatica]. Every piece <strong>of</strong> wood is unique, a<br />

living cross-section <strong>of</strong> nature. Solid beech exudes a<br />

feeling <strong>of</strong> well being, warmth and stability. Thanks to<br />

<strong>the</strong> high quality <strong>of</strong> our raw material and our precision<br />

manufacturing processes, Pollmeier <strong>flooring</strong> delivers a<br />

<strong>the</strong> beauty <strong>of</strong> nature


Variety is <strong>the</strong> Nature <strong>of</strong> Things<br />

<strong>The</strong> Ideal Environment for <strong>You</strong> and <strong>You</strong>r Family<br />

This is where <strong>the</strong> hectic pace <strong>of</strong> everyday life gives way to comfort.<br />

Solid wood floors create an ambiance which makes you instantly feel<br />

at home. Fur<strong>the</strong>rmore, Pollmeier floors are ideal for those that value<br />

<strong>the</strong> importance <strong>of</strong> a healthy environment. Solid wood <strong>flooring</strong> can help<br />

regulate indoor climate: it absorbs excess humidity from <strong>the</strong> air, and<br />

releases it back during dry periods. <strong>The</strong> floor provides natural protec-<br />

tion from heat or cold, improves room acoustics, and is extremely<br />

comfortable to walk on. Whereas o<strong>the</strong>r materials, such as carpet or<br />

laminate, can accumulate electrostatic charges, our floors have anti-<br />

static properties that inherently are in harmony with <strong>the</strong> body and<br />

mind. It’s good to know that we can always depend on nature.<br />

l By telling you whe<strong>the</strong>r <strong>the</strong> humidity is high or low,<br />

a solid wood floor is an indicator <strong>of</strong> how healthy<br />

your indoor climate is. This is due to <strong>the</strong> fact that<br />

depending on <strong>the</strong> time <strong>of</strong> year and <strong>the</strong> degree <strong>of</strong><br />

humidity, <strong>the</strong> width <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> <strong>flooring</strong> can vary as <strong>the</strong><br />

wood expands or contracts in accordance with<br />

changes in relative humidity. This is a natural<br />

characteristic <strong>of</strong> all wood floors. If relative humidity<br />

is maintained between 40 and 60% Pollmeier<br />

floors will expand and contract very little.<br />

l Our boards are sealed on all sides to ensure <strong>the</strong>y<br />

absorb and release moisture evenly.<br />

l Solid wood floors are warm underfoot.<br />

you intend to live, work, and play on it year in, year out. It must suit<br />

maintain and backed by a 25 Year <strong>We</strong>ar Warranty. Practical, durable<br />

Oxide), is <strong>the</strong> culmination <strong>of</strong> extensive<br />

than red oak, cherry, and birch?<br />

Precision All <strong>the</strong> Way<br />

Producing <strong>the</strong> highest quality Solid Steamed Beech Flooring<br />

demands knowledge and experience. At our modern sawmills and<br />

<strong>flooring</strong> facility we are fortunate to have designed, and invested in<br />

state-<strong>of</strong>-<strong>the</strong>-art processing, and milling equipment. Having acquired<br />

two generations <strong>of</strong> know-how we benefit from our longstanding<br />

industry experience. Vertically integrated we process only beech<br />

lumber, from <strong>the</strong> tree trunk right through to <strong>the</strong> finished <strong>flooring</strong><br />

product. Strict quality controls accompany and safeguard our entire<br />

process. <strong>We</strong> are convinced that <strong>the</strong> desire for high quality is not a<br />

luxury, but a necessity. <strong>The</strong> result is a new classic style, which is<br />

becoming more and more popular all over <strong>the</strong> world.<br />

l <strong>The</strong> use <strong>of</strong> premium quality lumber<br />

is an integral factor when it comes<br />

to manufacturing high-quality<br />

finished products.<br />

Styles Change, But Some Things are Eternal<br />

Regardless <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> style and region, a solid wood floor is justly con-<br />

sidered to be a classic element <strong>of</strong> living culture. <strong>The</strong> subtle nuances<br />

and lively grain <strong>of</strong> a wooden floor teamed with <strong>the</strong> warmth that it<br />

radiates its captivating, timeless charm. It’s no wonder, when we<br />

consider it culminates decades <strong>of</strong> Mo<strong>the</strong>r Nature’s work.<br />

Manufactured to <strong>the</strong> highest quality standards, your Pollmeier wood<br />

floor is truly an investment whose character and class will increase<br />

over time. Lovers <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> finer things in life appreciate this. Not only<br />

do such lasting values still exist, <strong>the</strong>ir cost is even surprisingly<br />

affordable and worthy <strong>of</strong> comparison.<br />

l Invest in <strong>the</strong> future: Pollmeier floors will<br />

increase <strong>the</strong> value <strong>of</strong> your property, should<br />

you decide to put your house on <strong>the</strong> market,<br />

you will be repayed.<br />

l If necessary, you can sand down and restore<br />

solid wood floors time and time again. This<br />

has been a tradition in Europe for centuries,<br />

and is a guarantee <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> longevity <strong>of</strong> wood.<br />

l <strong>The</strong> processed beech is between 80 and 120<br />

years <strong>of</strong> age, which makes it exceptionally old.<br />

Because <strong>the</strong> beech tree grows slowly, its rings<br />

are closer toge<strong>the</strong>r, which enhances <strong>the</strong> floor’s<br />

elegant appearance.<br />

Look Forward to <strong>You</strong>r Own Piece <strong>of</strong> Nature<br />

l 100 % German beech.<br />

When constructing and furnishing a house we generally make deci-<br />

sions that are based on common sense as well as strict aes<strong>the</strong>tic<br />

concern, so it’s good to know that our solid wood floors are not<br />

merely pieces <strong>of</strong> timeless beauty, but also make sense from an eco-<br />

logical point <strong>of</strong> view. This is because we use only beech from <strong>the</strong><br />

highly managed German forests, selectively cutting only mature<br />

trees and allowing for continued sustainable growth. This principle<br />

has worked for centuries and helps our forest ecosystem contribute<br />

to providing a sheltered environment for flora and fauna. When are<br />

you going to bring a piece <strong>of</strong> nature into your home?<br />

l Germans have long supported only<br />

ecologically sound forestry principles<br />

which have ensured sustainable<br />

use. One <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> results <strong>of</strong> this<br />

practice is having maintained a<br />

natural mixed forests with a healthy<br />

average age.<br />

l Germany has a vast amount <strong>of</strong> forest<br />

land, accounting for over 30 %<br />

<strong>of</strong> it’s total land area.<br />
