The wood originates from Germany, harvested sustainably to maintain a healthy forest. Carefully selected trees are cut down without harming the environment. The Danish manufacturing prioritises eco-friendly practices, utilising bio-based fuel and wind energy. Flawed materials from regular production, such as large knots or uneven planing, are repurposed by a:gain, ensuring zero waste.
*Per m2 based on internal LCA calculations for phases A1-A3
1 Collection
We take our Douglas Fir wood from a Danish wood manufacturer. The wood was discarded because of knots and cracks
2 Milling
The wood is then processed at Overgaard Wood, in Fredericia. Here the wood is first rough cut for production
3 Profiling
We seek to minimise the number of different profiles so that our manufacturing is agile. Furthermore, we always cut profiles that are optimised to the material
4 Manufacturing
The Douglas fir is turned into one of our final products. For example our Flarø Douglas panels
Workers Blue
Wild Ocean
Grey Static
Speckled Grey
Carlsberg Green
Sprinkle Blue
Carlsberg Grey
Grey Marbled
Plain Grey
We use our Nærø batts in the Flarø Douglas panels, the batts are available in varying shades of grey, blue and white, which are determined by the clothes it is produced from. We can never ensure an exact repetition of a specific nuance, from batch to batch, since our input material will always vary slightly. However, this just means that your batch is unique to your project!
Product variants
Black Coffee
Enjoy a luxurious, deep colour profile in our ‘Black Coffee’ wax, which will lift any room to one fit for the director. With the wood grain teetering between black and dark brown, it is a finish you will not get tired of any time soon.
Deep Sea
For those more adventurous our signature ‘Deep Sea’ blue wax will leave the wood with a fresh, yet rich blue look. Packed will colourful surprise, it a daring, yet stylish finish.
Nude
Like your honest, pure wood? Try our ‘Nude’ wax, which will appear invisible, but protect the product nonetheless, leaving you with an evergreen, classic wooden look.
Note: These renders are only indicative. We are still toning our wax. Furthermore, we always suggest seeing a colour sample before ordering.
Material characteristics
Knots
All knots are allowed unless they affect functionality
Grain
As opposed to veneered wood, the grain may turn between lamellas
Colour
The colour will vary slightly with the woods natural hues
Note: The wax is sprayed on and needs no maintenance. It is possible to repaint the wax, should the colour need a touch up, after many years.
Verified acoustic performance
The acoustic performance is categorized in sound absorption classes from A-E, where class A has the highest sound absorption. FORCE Technology tested Flarø together with 50 mm thick Nærø batts directly mounted.
Class | B |
Weighted absorption coeffient | 0.85 |

What is Flarø Douglas made of and how do you source it? How much of the material is waste based?
Flarø Douglas is made from 100% discarded Douglas fir from a large Danish wood manufacturer. The wood originates in Germany. In case a glass fibre membrane is added for fire retardant reasons, the horizontal braces will be replaced with offcut plywood.
Does Flarø Douglas contain any hazardous materials?
No, Flarø Douglas enters our manufacturing line untreated, and we only treat it with a waterborne wax. We can provide an SDS (Safety Data Sheets) on the wax. When we burn block the material, it is with a cradle-to-cradle certified solution. For more information contact us.
Is the material recyclable?
Yes, the wood can be sorted as ‘Wood’ and the textile batt as Textile’ at a recycling station. We also offer take-back services for reuse or remanufacturing into as-new products.
How and where is Flarø Douglas manufactured?
The wood is sawn, planed, cut to length and finally assembled to panels at our partner Overgaard Wood in Fredericia.
Can I order a customised size or colour of Flarø?
For larger projects, such as a whole office building or an entire floor, we can have new colours developed, however, for smaller projects the colours showcased on this page are our standard options. The standard wood finish and Nærø batt colours can be combined to create this. If you wish, you can repaint the product yourself. We can also adjust the size; please reach out to us with your specific request to receive a cost estimate.
What tolerance can I expect on the Flarø panels, in terms of deviance in size?
There are many tolerances within production. But in general you can expect a tolerance of ±1 mm per m.
How can I adjust or alter Flarø Douglas post purchase?
The wood can be treated like any other wooden product. It can be repainted, stripped, sawn, planed, etc. The panel is joined together with soft nails and a regular one-component waterborne PVAc wood glue. This can be cut through with a regular circular saw and a new brace can be added to the back, we deliver braces with the panel if required. We are currently working on exchanging glue and nails for a screw-joined solution. If the panelling is to be installed partially on a wall, we can deliver end pieces to the side of the panel to make for a complete look.
How should I mount and handle the Flarø panel to not damage it?
See the mounting guide for mounting instructions. To be certain that the surface treatment is not damaged unnecessarily, do not take the panel out of its original packaging prior to the moment you need to install it. If you do need to check the quality of the panels or have concerns over the finish, be sure to handle with care if you need to re-package the material. The wax finish is very sturdy, but ultimately not completely resistant to scratching.
