We are considering installing Kahrs (Maple Glasgow) as a floating floor,
in our new house. 

We would like to hear from anyone familiar with this
manufacturer's products. So far, our attempts to find any information on
this manufacturer's products have drawn a blank (except for the
company's home page.)

In particular, we would like to know:

* if you have had any problems with the planks separating? 

* has anyone seen "checking" (micro cracking on the top surface, due
to uneven expansion and contraction in the sub layers)?

* has anyone had or seen a Kahrs floor after 5 years? How is it looking
now? Any darkening?

* we are also interested in current prices (installed).

Many thanks

Jack and Pam
