Kährs Lux Collection In-Depth Review
This premium collection is truly unique and different from the standard lacquered floors available in the market. Through continuous research and innovation, Kahrs has given these fine-looking floors an exclusive ultra-matte finish.
Inspite of the lacquered finish, these floors do not reflect light and keep glare to a minimum. They not only protect your eyes from the glare of harsh lights, but the matte finish brings out the beauty and detail of the floors to the fullest.
The ultra-matte finish creates a naturally sawn and untreated look that further enhances the resemblance to hardwood floors.
The collection features nine planks in different colour tones to suit every decor. The shades vary from light and breezy tones such as ash air, ash flow, ash stream to warm, earthy shades like oak terra or oak sun. All floors are hand-brushed to accentuate the natural patterns, grains and knots as found in solid wood flooring.
The top layer of the planks comprises solid oak or ash. The core boasts a multi-layered construction that makes the floors extremely durable and sturdy. They can withstand heavy activity and loads without suffering damage or dents.
Being lacquered, the floors are naturally resistant to scratches and other abrasion. These robust floors are perfect for families with energetic kids or frisky pets. They are also perfect for commercial spaces with heavy footfall.
These engineered floors are also resistant to the effects of damp and high temperature. They don’t swell or dent through seasonal changes. You can install them with complete confidence in almost any room including conservatories. The floors are compatible with underfloor heating too.
The planks feature micro-bevelled edges on all the four sides and are installed through the Woodloc technology. This revolutionary technology pioneered by Kahrs makes installation quick, easy, glue-free and seamless.
Being lacquered and resistant to scratches, the floors are very easy to maintain. The lacquer layer does not allow dust to accumulate and regular vacuuming will suffice to keep them clean and shiny.
The lacquer layer also makes these floors extremely soft and silky underfoot.

Our Verdict
We highly recommend the latest ultra-matt lacquered collection of engineered hardwood floors from the Kahrs Original Lux Collection. With shades ranging from rustic to urban, the floors are perfect to upgrade the look of any residential or commercial space.
Boasting long-term durability and excellent craftsmanship, the Kährs Lux floors offer complete peace of mind. The only thing to consider is the cost. While they provide great value for money, the initial purchase price is a little high. So, if budget is a factor, you might want to consider a more affordable alternative.
