I dont know how it compares to Karhs but i know for instance costco and lowes carry Shaw (typically a high quality flooring) but its a lower grade so this may be a similar situation. If i were you i would order samples and show it to an experienced flooring expert, someone who has been in the field awhile. They will be able to tell you how stugas’ flooring compares to high quality brands. i’m sure they have the most knowledge and can sense immediately if there may be problems. I did email stuga with questions about the wear layer. So i know if you tell them about your household they can answer that question and suggest specific styles that will fit your needs. Depending on the wear and tear of your household you might want to choose a darker or rustic floor—they hide scratches better. I have a yorkie (no children) and when I did reach out to them they recommended the Shell flooring versus the lighter Greta/Fika/Moonlight shades (which would show scratches more). We have several projects going on and we are trying to do everything in the correct order. We decided to have the oak floors in our home restained so we are currently in the process of refinishing them. I’m excited to bring our 1990 mahogany stained oak floors to 2022

I own a 1609 sq Ft guest house that the original owners put carpet in the master bedroom and adjoining bath. I need to rip this out and would like hardwood or LVP. In order to get a cohesive look throughout will I need to take out the existing hardwood floors. They are 20yrs old

I think the carpet drives the bus so do the stairs in wood and add the hall and the runner in the same carpet you used for the bedrooms . I would never have done carpet in the bedrooms so IMO now do not add to the mess with too many different carpets. When tose bedrooms get gross next time do the floors in wood with area rugs that can actully be cleaned .
