Forests play a crucial role in fighting climate change by absorbing more CO₂ than they release. Trees store carbon during their growth, and by producing durable wooden floors, Kährs helps lock this carbon away for the long term. Our commitment to quality ensures that carbon remains stored in our products for decades, reducing the impact on the atmosphere.

Durable Floors, Long-Term Carbon Storage

Kährs floors are designed to last, with our patented cross-layer construction method making them 75% more stable than solid wood floors. This durability ensures that the carbon stored in the wood remains intact over time. Supported by up to a 30-year wear warranty, our floors provide a long-term solution to carbon storage. We also encourage maintenance, repair, and reuse to keep carbon to extend the lifespan of the floor and keep carbon locked in.

Responsible Sourcing of Wood

Kährs only sources wood products and timber from responsible sources in compliance with the key timber regulations. Our due diligence system ensures that all wood is sourced legally and does not originate from controversial sources. The wellbeing of the world’s forests is of great importance to Kährs and we support the responsible forestry development by prioritizing wood that meets the requirements set by FSC® (Forest Stewardship Council® license FSC-C019122) and/or PEFC (Program for Endorsement of Forest Certification license PEFC/05-35-153) chain of custody certification schemes.

By 2025, we aim for 87% of our wood to come from sustainable sources. Our strategy involves sourcing mature oak, which has absorbed the most carbon during its growth, ensuring our products have a climate-positive impact.

A Climate-Positive Impact

Kährs floors not only store carbon but have a net positive effect on the climate. The CO₂ absorbed by the wood during its growth exceeds the carbon emissions from production and transport, contributing to a more sustainable future.

Longevity and Maintenance Matter

The carbon stays locked in as long as the floor is not sent to landfill or incinerated. This is why the longevity, durability, and maintenance of our floors are so important. A long-lasting floor ensures that the carbon remains stored for a longer period, helping reduce overall emissions.
