Kahrs Original In-Depth Review

Did you know that when you choose a Kahrs original engineered wood floor, you are choosing an eco-friendly floor?

Yes, this is because Kahrs sources a major portion of the wood and raw material from areas nearby its production facility in Sweden, a place known for its rich oak trees. More trees are given back to nature through regular planting.

Kahrs floors feature a multi-layer construction, which imparts excellent stability to the floor and also aids in eco-conservation. Since it is a multi-layered design, the wood is used for the different layers thereby utilising the raw material in the most optimal manner.

The wood waste is not discarded into the environment but is converted into energy.

The Kahrs Original range combines the natural beauty of wood with innovative technology and creative thinking, which results in extraordinarily beautiful floors.

Although these floors are engineered wood by construction, they look and feel like solid hardwood flooring underfoot, thanks to the use of advanced design technologies. For example, each surface treatment is tested multiple times for its quality so that no details are missed.

Surface treatments are chosen to not only enhance the natural looks of the floors but also to make the floors more resistant to daily wear and tear. These treatments are highly eco-friendly as they are free from formaldehyde, isocyanate and solvents.

The Kahrs Original flooring features one of the most effective joint systems, thanks to its patented Woodloc® technology. This technology ensures a tight fit between floorboards, resulting in a firm and stable floor underfoot. Compared to fitting boards using traditional glue system, the Woodloc® method is easier and faster.

A major disadvantage with traditional wood flooring is its low resistance to changes in humidity and temperature. As a result, the floor changes its shape - bulges or shrinks - following environmental changes. This can compromise floor stability.

With its Woodloc® technology, Kahrs wood floors are highly resistant to such environmental changes, which means you’ll have a stable and safe floor.

The gap-free installation also prevents dust from trapping inside the floor, which makes cleaning easier.
