It has been a while since we last wrote a blog entry but every so often there is a new product that we just have to write about. Every since the Domotex trade show last year our directors have been talking about a new ultra high gloss floor from Kahrs. The showroom staff found these hard to imagine from the descriptions given, even the images that Kahrs taunted us with did not show off these floors well enough.
The collection consists of - Ash Black Silver, with a silver metallic finish and black stain; Ash Black Copper, with a copper metallic finish and black stain; Ash Retro, with a rich conker-coloured finish; Beech Bacarat, with a semi-transparent black stain; Beech Opaque, with a semi-transparent white stain; Oak Pearl, with white shimmer; Oak Fumoir, with a distinct lively grain and grey/brown finish and Oak Tabac, with a deep brown finish.
We have since had to Black Copper fitted in our showroom, in a high traffic area to test the durability of the high gloss lacquer. As of yet we are to find a mark on it, even stiletto heals have not made a mark on it (mind you, those stiletto heals are attached to a very petite woman). Until recently the favourite floors of all of our staff have been matt lacquered. We have now been converted, Shine is now the the first choice for the majority of our staff!
