Company | Bog oak veneer, bog oak lamella, bog oak flooring | GRIGO BOG OAK
GRIGO is a company with dedicated professionals, passionate about our unique product – Bog Oak wood – one of the finest hardwood on the planet. Bog oak is oak wood that has been lying in wetlands, submerged under water and peat for several thousands years. These anaerobic conditions protected oak wood from decay, while the acidic water and minerals dissolved in it, changed the coloring of the wood to an almost inky black.
Usually, extractors pull it from rivers and wetlands in areas where oaks have grown for several millennia. Because the naturally found bog oak is in such limited supply, prices for fossilized bog oak are very high.
GRIGO Bog Oak is being produced from fresh cut oak under a patent pending, unique, environmentally friendly technology – replicating the same natural process – conditionally in short time (1-6 months, depends on thickness) converting fresh oak wood to bog oak.
No amonia treatment, not smoked, no paint used – 100% natural and environmentally friendly bog oak veneer, lamella, planks and boards – made in EU.
GRIGO Bog Oak veneer, lamella, planks, and boards surpass the quality of the very rare and highly expensive bog oak timber, which nature provides in very limited quantities.
GRIGO Bog Oak patented technology lets us achieve timber color palette, which varies from inky black through ashy gray, deep violet and very dark blue to straw brown. Additionally, GRIGO Bog Oak has a significantly higher density (up to 10-12%), hardness and other physical characteristics than ordinary oak, putting our product among some of the world’s most expensive exotic hardwoods.
The warmth and beauty of real wood, combined with the inky blacks and hardness of a stone – GRIGO Bog Oak is crème de la crème of the worldwide hardwood choice.
GRIGO Bog Oak qualifies as a luxury product and is an excellent choice for using in both modern and traditional interiors. Because of it’s rich color palette and extreme durability, GRIGO Bog Oak flooring is perfect for residential and commercial purposes. Furthermore, craftsmen can use GRIGO Bog Oak for outstanding furniture, high-end acoustic system casings (speakers, amplifiers, etc.), luxury car interiors, and other similar purposes.
GRIGO Bog Oak is 100% natural and environmental friendly product. Do not confuse it with heat-treated oak, which steamed or fumed oak acquires its dark coloring through the slightly toxic use of ammonia. Moreover, ammonia treatment results in wood that exhibits much lower density and hardness, and its color palette limits to just different shades of brown.
