hardwood floors
If you have hardwood flooring installed by the original builder, it is most likely Kahrs or Teka engineered hardwood. In the case of the Kahrs hardwood, the warranty period for the installation of the flooring has expired, however, the flooring itself has a lifetime guarantee which is valid only for the original purchaser of the condo.
