Kahrs Royal Engineered Oak Flooring

Kahrs Royal is one of the widest engineered floors in the collection, with boards measuring a substantial 305mm, named after grand European palaces including Buckingham, Schonbrunn and Sanssouci. Built on a thick 18mm engineered core with a 3.5mm oak top layer and finished to a rustic grade, it's designed to make a real statement in larger spaces, with both natural and smoked tonal options.

Key Features

• 3.5mm oak top layer over an 18mm engineered core, combining genuine wood texture with real structural substance
• Extra-wide 305mm boards, among the widest available, showing extensive grain and character per plank
• Rustic grade, showing natural knots and grain variation
• 1-strip format, showing a single continuous plank per board
• Natural and smoked tone options, spanning across the named lines
• Oiled finish, keeping the surface natural and matt
• Compatible with underfloor heating, suiting renovated or newly built rooms
• Sandable and refinishable, extending the floor's usable lifespan well beyond the original surface

Built for Scale

At 305mm wide, Royal's boards are considerably wider than most engineered flooring, giving each plank room to show off the oak's natural grain and character in a way narrower boards can't match. Lines like Buckingham and Schonbrunn keep to natural oak tones, while Chillon and Sanssouci add a smoked finish for a deeper, richer look. The rustic grade and oiled finish carry through consistently across the range, keeping the tactile, natural character intact whichever tone is chosen.

Where Royal Works Best

• Large, grand rooms — the extra-wide boards need space to make their full visual impact
• Statement living and reception rooms — the scale and character suit a genuine centrepiece floor
• Period and character properties — the rustic grade and wide-plank format suit traditional interiors
• Rooms with underfloor heating — the engineered core is built to handle the gradual temperature shifts UFH produces

FAQ

Why are Kahrs Royal boards so wide?
At 305mm, the boards are designed to show off the oak's natural grain and character on a larger scale than standard engineered flooring, suiting bigger, more grand rooms.

Is Kahrs Royal suitable for underfloor heating?
Yes. The engineered construction is designed to handle the gradual temperature changes underfloor heating produces.

What's the difference between the natural and smoked options?
Natural tones like Buckingham and Schonbrunn keep the oak's original colour, while smoked options like Chillon and Sanssouci add a deeper, richer tone through a smoking treatment.

Can Kahrs Royal be sanded and refinished?
Yes. The 3.5mm top layer allows the floor to be sanded back and refinished to restore its surface as it wears.

What room size suits Kahrs Royal best?
Larger, more open rooms suit Royal best, as the extra-wide 305mm boards need space to show their full visual impact.
