A properly prepared subfloor is key to a successful wood floor installation. Make sure the surface is dry, level, clean, and structurally sound before installing your Kährs floor. Remove any existing carpet and debris to create a stable foundation.
Depending on the subfloor type, a moisture barrier may be needed to protect against excess moisture and ensure long-term performance. Always check moisture levels and follow our installation guidelines for best results.

Even experienced installers can benefit from a few key tips to ensure a smooth Kährs hardwood floor installation:
Plan ahead: Calculate the number of boards needed for the room's width. If the final row is less than 2 inches, adjust the first row accordingly.
Mix boards for a natural look: Open several packs and mix boards to achieve a balanced color variation. Inspect all boards for any defects or damage before installation.
Positioning matters: Install the floor along the longest wall or hallway or in the direction of light for most pleasing visual appeal.
Allow for expansion: Make sure there’s enough space between the floor and walls for natural movement.
Correct orientation: The grooved side of each board should face 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 16-20" offset between the end joints in adjacent rows for stability
Trim smartly: Use the cut-off piece from the last board to start the next row and minimize waste.
By following these steps, you’ll get a flawless, long-lasting wood floor with Kährs.
