Welcome to the wonderful world of Kährs Wood Flooring
Kährs found its eternal inspiration from nature. Kährs and wood have an enduring love story, which started some 150 years ago. The company believes that wood is not just a raw material. It has intrinsic beauty and expressiveness, a unique character and inherent quality.Since 1857, Kährs has been working in unison with nature in producing superior quality flooring. Its love of wood led to very monumental developments in the wood flooring industry, most notable of which is its introduction of the engineered hardwood and prefinished boards.
In 1941, Gustaf Kähr, the grandchild of the founder, was granted a patent for multi-layer parquet board - the world's first engineered hardwood floor. To this day, his invention is considered as the basic principle in the manufacture of flooring, as well as in the prudent use of natural resource.
This economical approach to flooring allowed Kährs to introduce factory-applied finishing. Always with the end customer in mind, the company offered the market prefinished floorboards in the 1960s which saved homeowners from incurring site finishing cost.
These, along with other innovations, have propelled Kährs to the leading position it enjoys today. The company has a worldwide reach with its own sales force in 11 countries and net sales of almost EUR 300 million in 2005. Its main customers are builders and retailers, mostly in the European and US markets.
