Kährs wood floors come in a variety of species, ranging from silky, light maple to dramatically dark walnut. Apart from looks, wood species also vary in versatility, hardness and how they react when they are exposed to normal sunlight. If you move or rearrange rugs and furniture periodically, you avoid distinct lines between the exposed and unexposed areas of the floor. No matter which species you choose, you can rest assured that it has been sustainably forested.
