Kahrs Floating Installation

Most Kahrs engineered floors can be installed as floating with the use of exceptional click fitting system called Woodloc. As a matter of fact, Kahrs was the first floor manufacturer to introduce a floating, or glue less installation system back in 1999 – the innovative Woodloc. Today, there are several variations of this Woodloc system, such as Woodloc® 5S, Woodloc® and Woodloc® 5G specifically tailored to various Kahrs products. We at Floorworks are well familiar and experienced in fitting all Kahrs products with any of their fitting systems.

Subfloor Preparation

As with other engineered floor fitting projects, we always begin by ensuring that the subfloor is even, clean and dry. The subfloor preparation stage is essential part of any fitting job as unless it is properly done it can significantly affect any flooring product, regardless of its high quality by allowing moisture or by creating bumps and unevenness at a later stage. This often includes the installation of particular underlays to ensure that the wooden floors are well protected. Kahrs offers a range of flooring underlays such as Cellofloor, Kahrs Tuplex Kahrs Special and Kahrs Protective Underlays offering effective moisture and sound insulation.

Kahrs Floor Fitting - An Enjoyable Experience

Fitting Kahrs Floors is a privilege and joy for us. The Woodlock joint system makes it easy and simple to lay Kahrs floors. Nevertheless, we would not recommend trying to do it yourself, as this is a significant investment and unless installed properly, closely following the manufacturer’s instructions, there is a great risk of ruining the overall effect. Therefore, ger Floorworks – a professional Kahrs installer to ensure that your precious floors are in safe hands and you can enjoy them for many years to come.

Some Frequently Asked Questions

How are your floor restoration service prices calculated?

Our wooden floor restoration service prices are primarily calculated based on several key factors. The most significant element is the type of wooden flooring and the total size in square meters of the area to be restored. We also consider the current condition of the floor, as heavily damaged floors requiring extensive repairs. The type of finish chosen (e.g., oil-based, water-based lacquer, hardwax oil) also influences the price, with commercial grade finishes often being more expensive and some are slower drying.
Finally, any additional services like staining, custom colour matching, or intricate pattern work will be factored into the final price. We aim to provide a transparent, itemised quote after an on-site assessment to ensure you understand all components of the cost.
What is the best oil to put on wood floors?

The "best" oil for wood floors largely depends on your desired aesthetic, durability needs, and maintenance preferences. Popular and highly regarded oils in the UK market include hardwax oils from brands like Osmo, Bona, Woca and Fiddes. These oils are typically blends of natural oils and waxes that penetrate the wood to provide deep nourishment and a durable, water-repellent surface, while allowing the wood to breathe.
Are there eco-friendly or low-VOC (Volatile Organic Compound) finish options available?

Yes, absolutely. There's a growing demand for environmentally conscious building practices, and the flooring industry has responded with numerous eco-friendly and low-VOC finish options, which are offered by Floorworks™. These typically include water-based lacquers and natural oils/hardwax oils.
How often is re-oiling needed for my wood floor?

The frequency of re-oiling for your wood floor depends significantly on the level of foot traffic and the specific type of oil finish applied. In high-traffic areas like hallways, kitchens, or living rooms, re-oiling might be needed every 6 to 18 months. For areas with moderate traffic, every 1-3 years might suffice, while in low-traffic zones such as bedrooms, a re-oil might only be necessary every 3-5 years or even longer.
What preparation is required for having click LVT flooring over floorboards?

The floorboards must be perfectly flat, solid and covered with a minimum of 6 mm flooring-grade plywood, securely screwed down with all joints filled and sanded smooth.
