Installation of Laminated Engineered Wood Floor System Video

Work continues at the sister project house where a new Kahrs "Linnea" laminated floor system is being installed. Tim Colgan from Kahrs is on site with Bob to explain the process. A four-piece construction method is used to make the floorboards. The surface layer is an acrylic coating that protects a decorative wood veneer. The structural layers consist of a high-density fiberboard bonded to a pine backing layer. During installation, an underlayment is placed over the concrete slab floor to prevent moisture infiltration. The individual floorboards snap together using a modified tongue-and-groove system that does not require glue or mechanical fasteners. A benefit of the system is easy repair; damaged boards or flooring sections can be "un-snapped" and replaced.
