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.
