Karelia hardwood floor structure, dimensions and strip. You can choose your Karelia hardwood floor from three options: traditional 3-strip, 2-strip or 1-strip Full Plank hardwood floorings. The number of strips tells you how many parallel wood strip parts are used in the surface layer of the floor.

A perfect construction

Karelia hardwood floorboards are manufactured entirely from genuine wood. Wood is a living material, contracting and expanding in accordance with the seasons and changing climate conditions. It is essential for the frame structure of the boards and the wooden materials used in the frame to limit these natural movements. The cross-directionally glued three-layer structure of Karelia boards effectively prevents the natural movements of wood resulting from humidity.

  • Five-layered lacquering or oil treatment
  • Selected wooden wear layer
  • Intermediate layer made of coniferous wood, with a crosswise grain direction with respect to the surface wood
  • Plywood end reinforcement
  • Layer of seamless coniferous plywood for base veneer

Strip design

You can choose your Karelia hardwood floor from three options: traditional 3-strip, 2-strip or 1-strip Full Plank hardwood floorings. The number of strips tells you how many parallel wood strip parts are used in the surface layer of the floor.

The 1-strip hardwood floor is made of a single board. The 3-strip floor consists of several pieces that have been put in three rows. The number of strips affects the look and feel of the floor, its rhythm and liveliness.
