ter Hürne Design for your well-being home
Although there is no standard for ‘beautiful’, it is a principle that inspires us at ter Hürne. Preserve the original. Try something new. And combine the two.
The basis for the Ikō decors is real wood – the most beautiful of all
The secret lies in our meticulous processes. The Ikõ collections contain decor developments which are anything else but standardised. Designers travel throughout the world to select the most beautiful, real wood samples. These then form the sound foundation of our decors. Subsequently, the wood is processed, for example by adding a plane-marked surface. We then check the effect of the individual sample planks when laid together in a room - and only select the best designs.
On this basis, the Ikō design team has developed four Collections with a total of 36 decors, that don't just look good but perform well in everyday life.
DID YOU KNOW?
The look of the decor
Unlike real wood floors, design floors have a decor. That is why we also call our smart floors design or decor floors. Wood or stone decors are based on the original material. The more precise the reproduction, the more authentic the effect. Form, colour and depth effect play important roles in creating a decor. A designer needs in-depth knowledge of the properties of the material to depict the decor to perfection. This includes everything from the wood species and manual craft techniques to the processing of the material. Once a design has been finalised, we print it on to the decor carrier using state-of-the-art technologies. That could mean printing on to wood fibre, vinyl or directly on to the baseboard as with the Avatara design floor.
All ter Hürne decor floors embody over 60 years’ experience in wood processing and craftsmanship. You can see and feel this expertise.
When developing the design for our decors, we draw on our experience with wood. It is only when you understand the original in all its facets that you are able to design decors that are fascinatingly natural.

OUR PLANK FORMATS AND DESIGNS
Classic timber floors comprise long wooden elements. They differ according to the formats and the laying patterns of these elements. They also differ between themselves in their length and width.
