Plan ahead: Calculate the number of boards needed for the room’s width. If the final row is less than 30 mm, adjust the first row accordingly.
Mix boards for a natural look: Open multiple packs and mix boards to achieve a balanced color variation. Inspect for any defects before installation.
Positioning matters: Lay boards lengthways in the room for the best visual effect.
Allow for expansion: Ensure there’s adequate space between the floor and walls for natural movement.
Correct orientation: The grooved side of each board should face toward the room.
Angle for a secure fit: Install boards at a 20-30° angle for proper locking.
Lock the short joints: Use a Kährs hand block to ensure a tight fit.
Stagger end joints: Maintain a 500 mm displacement of end joints between rows for stability.
Trim smartly: Use the cut-off piece from the final board to start the next row, minimizing waste.

Maintaining the right indoor climate is essential for the longevity and performance of your Kährs wood floor. Keep the relative humidity between 30-60% before, during, and after installation to prevent expansion or contraction of the wood.
Ensure both the room and flooring materials are acclimatized by keeping the temperature between 15-23°C. Wood packs should be stored in this stable environment for at least 24 hours prior to installation for optimal results.
A properly prepared subfloor is key to a successful wood floor installation. Ensure the surface is dry, level, clean, and structurally sound before laying your Kährs floor. Remove any existing carpeting and debris to create a stable foundation.
Depending on the subfloor type, a moisture barrier may be required to protect against excess humidity and ensure long-term performance. Always check moisture levels and follow our installation guidelines for the best results.
