Choosing a Kährs collection
- Everyday planks: Canvas and Canvas Wide are 13 mm (1/2") boards with a 3 mm wear layer and a Woodloc 5G click joint, in 5" and 7-3/8" widths.
- Grand 15 mm boards: Lux, Element, Harmony, Beyond Retro, Classic Nouveau and the European Renaissance and Naturals collections are 15 mm (5/8") with a 3.5 mm wear layer and a Woodloc 5S click joint, in planks up to about 95" long.
- Textured and natural-oiled: Småland, Texture and Founders add handscraped or saw-mark surfaces with a natural-oil finish.
- Red oak, tongue and groove: Estate is red oak in 7-1/2" and 9-1/8" widths, 15 mm and 18 mm thick, tongue and groove rather than click.
- Slim renovation floors: Life Essential (7 mm) and Life Authentic (10 mm) have a 0.6 mm wear layer on a densified HDF core, which suits renovations where floor height is limited.
- Herringbone: Studio is a 2-3/4" x 19-5/16" tongue-and-groove herringbone block with a 3.5 mm wear layer.
99 of the 116 floors use a Woodloc click joint; the rest are tongue and groove. Compare other brands in our engineered hardwood range, or see hardwood shipped to the USA.
