Kahrs Artisan Engineered Oak Flooring

Kahrs Artisan is a rustic-grade, handscraped engineered oak floor with an earthy, textured palette that includes tones like Buckskin, Camino, Straw, Oyster and Earth. With a 3.5mm top layer over a 15mm engineered core and a consistent oiled finish throughout, it's built to bring a warm, tactile, artisan-crafted feel into a room rather than a smooth, polished look.

Key Features

• 3.5mm oak top layer over a 15mm engineered core, combining genuine wood texture with structural stability
• Rustic grade, showing more of the timber's natural knots and grain variation
• Handscraped texture, giving the surface a tactile, hand-finished character
• 1-strip format, giving each board a clean, continuous plank appearance
• 190mm boards, showing off more of the oak's grain and texture per plank
• Oiled finish throughout, soaking into the wood for a natural, matt look
• Compatible with underfloor heating, suiting renovated or newly built rooms
• Sandable and refinishable, extending the floor's usable lifespan well beyond the original surface

An Earthy, Textured Palette

Artisan's named tones lean into warm, natural colour names: Buckskin and Camino bring rich, mid-brown warmth, Straw and Oyster sit lighter and more neutral, while Earth and Concrete move toward cooler, more muted greys. Every tone shares the same handscraped texture and oiled finish, so the surface feel stays consistent across the range — tactile, matt, and clearly hand-finished rather than machine-smooth.

Where Artisan Works Best

• Rustic and characterful interiors — the handscraped texture and rustic grade suit relaxed, lived-in spaces
• Farmhouse or country-style homes — the earthy tonal palette fits naturally with these interiors
• Rooms wanting a tactile, natural feel underfoot — the oiled finish keeps the wood's texture close to the surface
• Rooms with underfloor heating — the engineered core is built to handle the gradual temperature shifts UFH produces

FAQ

What does "handscraped" mean on the Kahrs Artisan range?
Handscraped boards have a deliberately textured surface designed to look and feel hand-finished, adding depth and character compared to a flat-sanded board.

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

Why does Artisan only come in an oiled finish?
The oiled finish soaks into the wood rather than sealing the surface, keeping the handscraped texture tactile and easy to spot-repair, which suits the range's rustic, artisan character.

Can Kahrs Artisan 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.
