Approach

Origin

Hjælmø end grain brick floor is upcycled from offcuts and cut-outs accumulated during the production of pine glulam boards and window frames. Today, the sorting criteria are so rigorous that excessive amounts of good-quality wood are wasted. The wood is sorted out due to knots, which do not matter in terms of durability and strength when used as a brick floor. Furthermore, offcuts from ordinary production can be further cut down and also used as end-grain flooring. If this waste source had not been saved, the wood would have been ground up and burned for heating, despite the high value of the wood. In the past, hard-wearing end-grain floors have been used for industrious indoor environments, such as workshops.

Material

Approach
1

Collection: 

Bits of offcuts are collected over time as VTI manufactures various wood products

2

Finger joining: 

The offcuts are joined lengthwise by finger joining them. This reconstitutes the offcuts to long pieces for further processing

3

Planing: 

The long finger jointed pieces are now planed down to size, to make sure the entire piece is in the right dimensions

4

Cutting: 

Lastly the planed wood is cut into individual wooden bricks, ready to be laid as flooring. You can experience intricate patterns where the cut has run through a finger joint, as seen above

Material Characteristics
We believe in honest materials and embrace their features.
