Kahrs Tres Engineered Wood Flooring

Kahrs Tres spans three wood species — oak, ash and maple — in a slim, 3-strip engineered format, making it one of the more compact profiles in the Kahrs collection at just 13mm thick. Wide 200mm boards keep the timber's grain visible despite the slimmer build, while the choice of species and finishes gives a fair spread of tones from natural oak through to pale maple and whitewashed ash. It's a range built for spaces where a slimmer overall floor build matters, without giving up on wide-format boards.

Key Features

• 13mm engineered thickness, slimmer than many other ranges while still using wide 200mm boards
• Two top layer options — 2.6mm and 3.5mm — depending on the specific line
• Oak, ash and maple wood species, offering a range of tones from warm to pale
• 3-strip format, giving each board a traditional, layered appearance
• Natural and Rustic grades, letting you choose between a cleaner or more characterful grain pattern
• Finish choice across Lacquered, Matt Lacquered, Satin Lacquered and Oiled
• Compatible with underfloor heating, suiting renovated or newly built rooms
• Sandable and refinishable, depending on the top layer thickness of the specific line chosen

Species and Finishes

Oak forms the bulk of the range and offers the widest tonal choice, while ash brings a slightly more open grain in both natural and whitewashed finishes, and maple gives a pale, subtle, understated look. Across the range, Lacquered and Satin Lacquered finishes seal the surface for everyday durability, Matt Lacquered keeps shine to a minimum, and the Oiled option soaks into the wood for a more natural feel that's easier to spot-repair.

Where Tres Works Best

• Renovations with height restrictions — the slimmer 13mm build suits situations where floor height is limited
• Rooms wanting a lighter look — the maple and whitewashed ash options keep things pale and contemporary
• Everyday living spaces — the range's durability suits hallways, living rooms and bedrooms
• Rooms with underfloor heating — the engineered core is built to handle the gradual temperature shifts UFH produces

FAQ

Why is Kahrs Tres thinner than other ranges?
At 13mm, Tres is built with a slimmer overall profile, which can help in renovations where floor height needs to be kept to a minimum while still using a wide 200mm board.

Is Kahrs Tres 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 oak, ash and maple options?
Oak offers the widest tonal range, ash has a slightly more open grain in natural and whitewashed finishes, and maple gives a pale, subtle, understated look.

Can Kahrs Tres be sanded and refinished?
This depends on the top layer thickness of the specific line — lines with the 3.5mm top layer offer more scope for sanding and refinishing than those with the thinner 2.6mm layer.

What does 3-strip mean on these boards?
Each board is made up of three narrower strips of timber, creating a layered, traditional pattern rather than a single continuous plank.
