Kahrs Sand Engineered Wood Flooring

Kahrs Sand is a whitewashed, prime-grade engineered floor available in both oak and ash, offering one of the brightest, most coastal-inspired looks in the Kahrs collection. Named lines like Brighton, Sandvig and Falsterbo carry a light, bleached character across 1-strip, 2-strip and 3-strip formats, with a 3.5mm top layer over a 15mm engineered core. It's a range built for a fresh, airy feel, drawing on a pale, sand-like palette rather than the deeper tones found elsewhere in the collection.

Key Features

• 3.5mm real wood top layer over a 15mm engineered core, combining genuine texture with structural stability
• Whitewashed prime grade, giving a bright, bleached, coastal-inspired look
• Oak and ash wood species, both finished to the same light tone
• 1-strip, 2-strip and 3-strip formats, offering a choice of board patterns
• Wide 187mm and 200mm boards, showing off more of the timber's grain per plank
• Matt Lacquered and Oiled finishes, both keeping shine low
• 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 Lighter, Coastal Look

The whitewashed finish across Sand lightens the natural tone of both oak and ash considerably, giving the floor a bright, airy character that suits homes wanting to maximise natural light. The Matt Lacquered finish keeps the surface practical and low-shine, while the Oiled option softens things further, soaking into the wood for an even more natural, tactile feel. Across the different named lines and formats, the pale, sand-toned base stays consistent, making it easy to match multiple rooms without worrying about tonal variation.

Where Sand Works Best

• Smaller or darker rooms — the whitewashed tone helps reflect available light and open the space up
• Coastal or Scandinavian-style interiors — the pale, bleached look suits a light, airy aesthetic
• Contemporary living spaces — the consistent light tone works well across open-plan layouts
• Rooms with underfloor heating — the engineered core is built to handle the gradual temperature shifts UFH produces

FAQ

What does "whitewashed" mean for the Kahrs Sand range?
Whitewashed refers to a bleaching treatment that lightens the timber's natural tone, giving the floor a pale, coastal-inspired look rather than its original colour.

Is Kahrs Sand 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 and ash options?
Both are finished to the same whitewashed tone, though ash and oak have naturally different grain patterns, giving each a subtly different texture underfoot.

Can Kahrs Sand 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, 2-strip and 3-strip formats?
1-strip boards show a single continuous plank, while 2-strip and 3-strip boards are divided into narrower sections, creating a more layered, traditional pattern.
