Kahrs Boardwalk Engineered Oak Flooring

Kahrs Boardwalk is a 1-strip engineered oak floor with an Italian-inspired naming scheme — Luce, Ombra, Pallido and Tramonto — that maps roughly onto a tonal journey from light to shadow. Built on a 3.5mm top layer over a 15mm engineered core, with a consistent brushed and oiled finish throughout, it moves from pale, luminous tones through to deeper smoked shades, giving a straightforward way to pick a floor tone based on how much depth a room needs.

Key Features

• 3.5mm oak top layer over a 15mm engineered core, combining genuine wood texture with structural stability
• 1-strip format, showing a single continuous plank per board
• 187mm boards, showing off more of the oak's grain per plank
• Tonal range from light to smoked, spanning Pallido and Luce through to Ombra and Tramonto
• Brushed and oiled finish throughout, giving a consistent natural, matt surface
• Compatible with underfloor heating, suiting renovated or newly built rooms
• Sandable and refinishable, extending the floor's usable lifespan well beyond the original surface

A Tonal Range from Light to Shadow

Pallido and Luce sit at the paler end of the range, offering a bright, natural oak look well suited to smaller or darker rooms. Ombra brings a light smoked tone with a touch more depth, while Tramonto moves further into a fuller smoked finish for a richer, more dramatic look. Every tone shares the same brushed texture and oiled finish, so the choice comes down to how much warmth and depth a room calls for.

Where Boardwalk Works Best

• Smaller or darker rooms — the paler Pallido and Luce tones help open the space up
• Larger, more dramatic rooms — the smoked Ombra and Tramonto tones add depth and richness
• Rooms wanting a natural, tactile finish — the consistent brushed and oiled surface keeps things understated
• Rooms with underfloor heating — the engineered core is built to handle the gradual temperature shifts UFH produces

FAQ

What's the difference between the four Boardwalk tones?
Pallido and Luce are the palest options, Ombra adds a light smoked tone for more depth, and Tramonto is the deepest, fully smoked finish in the range.

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

Can Kahrs Boardwalk 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 does 1-strip mean on these boards?
Each board shows a single, continuous plank of oak, giving a clean, uninterrupted look across the floor.

Which Boardwalk tone suits a smaller room best?
Pallido or Luce tend to work best in smaller rooms, as their lighter tones help reflect available light and make the space feel more open.
