Unlike prefinished floors manufactured in North America, Karelia finishes their flooring prior to milling the edges, in the European style, which gives each of their floors the appearance of a site sand and finish floor without bevels. Every piece of Karelia engineered hardwood flooring utilizes a three-layered structure for stability. The surface is made of precious hardwood, while the middle and base layers are produced from slowly grown Finnish spruce. The sturdy yet flexible cross-glued structure is specifically designed to adjust with the natural expansion and contraction which results from changes in temperature and relative humidity and ensures that your Karelia floor will look and feel new for decades to come.

The wood for Karelia floors is sourced from well-managed forests. Most of the material used for Karelia hardwood floors -- such as Birch, Oak and Ash -- grows in Northern and Central Europe: areas where the number of trees growing exceeds the number of trees that are felled.

The compliance certificate, granted to Karelia with regard to material acquisition, guarantees the origin of the wood. Moreover, the origin of the material is controlled in accordance with the PEFC certificate, granted by an external auditor. The finished product also has an M1 certification making it suitable for applications where allergens are the designer’s major concern.
