Value-priced classic oak and beech floating hardwood floors

The original floating hardwood floor made in Sweden by Kahrs has a 150-year track record of quality, beauty and environmental stewardship.The Kahrs Builder Collection features classic 3-strip flooring in stained white oak and natural beech. The easy, DIY, patented Woodloc interlocking system makes installation a snap, saving you time and money.

These floors are constructed using the Kährs patented parquet multi-layer technology, with three separate layers and a total thickness of 5/8” (15 mm). The surface layer is 1/8” (3.5 mm) thick, allowing Kährs Original floors to be sanded two to three times — and allowing several generations to enjoy this beautiful floor.

The Kahrs Builder Collection is made to the highest standards of health which exceed both California CARB2 and European standards for toxic emissions in both adhesives and finishes. All Kahrs hardwood products use materials from sustainable sources certified either by FSC (Forest Stewardship Council) or EMAS (European Eco-Management Audit Scheme) in Europe. They are all US Lacey Act compliant, and their raw materials are sourced within 200 km of the Kahrs factory.

Why we like it

Kahrs is our favorite hardwood floor for all the right reasons. Since 1857 this company has earned its stripes by inventing the engineered floor and has continually raised the bar on environmental standards, quality design and performance. Once you install a Kahrs floor, you'll agree these floors are perfectly engineered, beautiful, stable and environmentally pure.

Kahrs is also our first choice for use over radiant heat because it was designed specifically for that purpose in Sweden. It doesn't gap, buckle or warp. Just to give you an idea of its stability, two of our customers with Kahrs flooring had flooded homes and, after two weeks time and lots of ventilation, the flooring returned to its original form. These difficult experiences tell you a lot about how a floor is made and why we would not settle for anything less.
