Kährs FAQs

Kährs wood flooring is a premium engineered wood product made in Sweden. It features a multi-layer construction with a real hardwood top layer, a high-performance core, and a backing layer for added stability. This structure makes it more dimensionally stable than solid wood and suitable for a wide range of environments, including underfloor heating.

Kährs offers a wide variety of wood species, finishes, board sizes, and patterns, from classic oak to modern ash and walnut designs.

Kährs flooring offers several key benefits:

Exceptional durability and stability

Easy installation with the patented Woodloc® click system

Wide range of finishes, colours, and surface textures

Sustainably sourced wood with FSC® and PEFC™ certification

Yes, Kährs engineered wood is suitable for kitchens and other living spaces. However, for bathrooms or other high-moisture areas, extra care is needed. You should ensure proper sealing of joints and edges, maintain good ventilation, and clean up any spills promptly.

Kährs floors are moisture-resistant but not waterproof, so they are best suited to dry or moderately humid areas. For wet rooms, we may recommend alternative solutions such as click vinyl or waterproof laminate.

Yes, most Kährs engineered wood floors are fully compatible with underfloor heating systems. Always check the technical data for the specific product you choose to confirm its suitability. Installation must follow best practices:

Subfloor temperature should not exceed 27°C

Heating should be turned on gradually

An appropriate underlay must be used

Floating or glued installation can be selected depending on the product

Our showroom team can advise on the best installation method for your project.

The Woodloc® system is Kährs’ patented locking joint, which allows floorboards to be clicked together without glue. This system creates a tight, secure fit and reduces gaps or movement over time.

Benefits of Woodloc® include:

Quicker installation

Seamless joins

Greater strength and floor integrity

Less movement or shrinkage

This makes Kährs flooring ideal for DIY or professional installation in both residential and commercial spaces.

Kährs floors are easy to maintain with simple steps:

Use a soft broom or vacuum with a wood-friendly brush head

Clean using a damp mop and pH-neutral wood floor cleaner

Avoid soaking the floor or using abrasive chemicals

Place mats at entrances to reduce grit

Fit protective pads to furniture legs

With the correct care, your Kährs floor can last for decades and maintain its natural beauty.

Yes, many Kährs floors can be sanded and refinished depending on the thickness of the wear layer. Most Kährs products feature a 3.5 mm or 3.6 mm top layer, which allows for at least one or two light sandings during their lifetime.

Some collections, especially in the Supreme range, may have thicker wear layers suitable for multiple refinishes.

This gives homeowners the option to refresh the surface or change the finish in future years.
