Kahrs Hardwood Flooring: Where Fashion and Style Meet Function
If you have not heard of Kahrs hardwood flooring yet, then I advise you to start looking into it. In Europe, Kahrs is among the few top notch producers of hard wood floors that are engineered. The timber used for flooring materials is only coming from countries that have sustainable forestry as well as a member of the International Tropical Timber Association. Moreover, Kahrs also hold a membership of the Forest Stewardship Council. The council is in charged of the ecological management of the forests in the world.
All about Kahrs
The floating wood flooring done by Kahrs is 80% hardwood. The hardwood comes from Sweden. The rest of the timber is bought by Kahrs from other countries with the abovementioned qualities. Kahrs wood flooring is not made out of scarce timber, and surely not from endangered timber. The facility of Kahrs is the home of highly advanced technology when it comes to production of hardwood flooring.
I appreciate greatly Kahrs move to scrap their range of finishes that utilizes UV oil. They are now producing matt lacquer finishes. Aside from that, Kahrs have also done some product name changes. Even up to now, I find that Kahrs have upheld its commitment to produce quality products.
