Kährs Atelier Collection In-Depth Review

Kährs Atelier Collection are 1-strip floors, which means that the surface is made of a single piece of hardwood. Multiple layers of superior wood are then glued to this hardwood surface. As the top surface layer is solid hardwood, you get to feel the richness and the beautiful texture underfoot.

The natural surface treatments further enhance the surface texture and the performance of this floor. Atelier floors carry a matt lacquer or an oiled finish.

A matt lacquer finish adds a protective layer to the floor surface, shielding it from daily wear and tear. Therefore, a matt lacquered floor is a great choice for rooms that experience heavy traffic.

A matt lacquered finish also prevents spills from seeping into the wood thereby protecting the floor from damage.

Planks with an oiled finish exude a rich natural texture. The oil penetrates deep into the wood providing excellent surface protection against scratches, stains and daily wear and tear. Repairing oiled floors is easy and cost-effective.

These surface treatments do not affect the beauty of the floor as they are thin enough to enhance their visual appeal and tough enough to impart excellent wear resistance.

All surface treatments are natural and are free of toxic components such as formaldehyde, isocyanate and solvents.

Kährs Atelier is easy to clean and maintain. Sweep the floor every day. You can use a broom or a soft mop for the purpose. Once a week, mop the floor using a damp cloth or a mop. This will help prevent staining.

The Atelier collection is highly eco-friendly. The oak has been derived from forests near the company’s production facility in Sweden, a country known for its rich oak growth. Kährs gives back to the environment by planting more trees.

The multi-layer structure of the floors contributes to environmental conservation as wood is used to its maximum in this design. All production waste is converted into energy.
