Sanding Kahrs & Boen Engineered Wood FloorsHardwood flooring is always among the preferred choices discussed during property renovations. However, solid wood floors require a specialist floor fitter due to the nature of their installation and their sensitivity to various environmental parameters such as moisture. Laminate flooring on the other hand, as much as it looks like actual wood flooring, simply is not real wood. Engineered Wood Flooring BenefitsThe intermediate solution in many cases comes down to engineered wood flooring. It combines the benefits of all other types of wood flooring - easy installation, damp and temperature resistance, easy to remove, as it's installed as floating and actually offers the beauty of the real wood. The engineered wood flooring has only one little down point and it is the thickness of its hardwood layer. This will define the life of the flooring, respectively - how many times it can be restored. Engineered wood floors come in thicknesses of 14 mm, 15 mm, 18 mm and 20 plus mm. The first are usually accompanied with top layer of 3 to 4 mm of real wood. The second offers usually 6 mm top layer of real wood. Now, one point to bear in mind for the thicker engineered floors is that these offer almost the same lifetime as all domestic grades prefinished solid wood floors. They come in 18 mm thickness, which narrow the sanding depth of up to 7 mm from the tongue & groove of the flooring. Well, the engineered options will offer you 6 mm. Why Kahrs and Boen Engineered Flooring?
Kahrs engineered flooring comes with 15 mm thickness and offers a 3.5 mm top layer of maple, beech, ash, walnut and oak. Many of the options you will find from Kahrs flooring are actually colour finished - main reason for the popularity of Kahrs product. Boen on the other hand has included many flooring products in their range of 15 mm engineered flooring with top layer thickness of 3 mm. Even though there are some slight differences in the thickness and the finishes available from the both suppliers, in the general case scenario the restoration of these types of flooring will be rounded to one! There is case, which may exist in domestic environment where physical damage (e.g. high hill marks) of the top layer is not an issue and only wearing of the sealant is identified, where possible refinishing may be possible on two occasions. However, if you are keen to approach with care your flooring, always use the same, well established professional floor sanding service each time. Make sure they keep record of your floor sanding service details and some companies may produce such in the form of a certificate. Be aware that if your floors have been originally finished in a colour - stained oak for example, the colour may come this time different to certain extend. Products used by Boen or Kahrs for finishing and staining the timber will not be the same as the ones used by your local company. However, bare in mind professional floor sanding company know how to achieve best match to any colour provided. The advantage of engineered wood flooring versus laminate is that engineered wood can be sanded after scratches and dings develop. Two catches, though:
