Kahrs Da Capo Engineered Oak Flooring

Kahrs Da Capo is a rustic, handscraped engineered oak floor built around a distinctive smoked colour palette, with named tones like Domo, Unico and Sparuto layering smoke treatment over a textured, brushed surface. Available in both 1-strip and 2-strip formats with a 3.5mm top layer over a 15mm engineered core, it's a range designed for depth and drama, giving a room a rich, moody character rather than a light, natural one.

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
• Smoked and light smoked tones, adding depth and richness to the timber's natural colour
• 1-strip and 2-strip formats, offering a choice of board patterns
• 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

Smoked Tones and Texture

Smoking treats the oak before finishing, deepening its natural colour and bringing out the grain in a way that a standard stain can't replicate. Across named lines like Domo, Unico, Maggiore and Sparuto, this smoked treatment ranges from a lighter, warmer depth through to a much richer, darker character. Combined with the handscraped texture and brushed, oiled finish, the result is a floor with real tactile and visual presence, suited to rooms that want a strong, characterful statement underfoot.

Where Da Capo Works Best

• Statement living and dining rooms — the smoked tones and handscraped texture create real depth and drama
• Period and character properties — the rustic grade and smoked finish suit traditional interiors
• Rooms wanting warmth and richness — the smoked palette adds a cosy, layered feel
• Rooms with underfloor heating — the engineered core is built to handle the gradual temperature shifts UFH produces

FAQ

What does "smoked" mean for the Kahrs Da Capo range?
Smoking is a treatment applied to the oak before finishing that deepens its natural colour and brings out the grain, giving a richer, more dramatic tone than a standard stain.

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

What does "handscraped" mean on this range?
Handscraped boards have a deliberately textured surface designed to look and feel hand-finished, adding tactile depth to the floor.

Can Kahrs Da Capo 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's the difference between the 1-strip and 2-strip formats?
1-strip boards show a single continuous plank of oak, while 2-strip boards are divided into two narrower sections for a more layered, traditional look.
