Kahrs Grande Citadelle

The Grande Citadelle Oak Flooring from Kahrs is a stunning 20mm thick floor with 6mm wear layer, 260mm wide boards by 2800mm in length.

A subtle grey stain adds to the style and elegance of the floor, allowing the softer sepia tones of the natural oak to come through. Each board is hand-scraped to add texture and rusticity to the flooring.

A 4-Sided Bevel gives that full plank look and feel and the oiled finish keeps the floor looking and feeling natural. We recommend an additional coat of oil is applied to the floor once laid to seal into the joints.

This is a town grade floor, which refers to the amount of knots and cracks in the wood - rustic grade being the most knotty, city grade being the cleanest with minimal knots and town grade being a happy medium between the two. The Grande Citadelle will have some natural knots and cracks in the wood but will also feature completely clean boards with no knots at all. It makes an ideal choice for more modern interiors.

This is a tongue and groove floor but can be laid floating or by glueing down. We can supply high quality floor adhesive at discount rates when you purchase this flooring. Feel free to call for more details.

The Grande Collection is Kahrs' premium range - you will struggle to find a fixed-length board anywhere else with the long 2.8m and wide 260mm boards that the Grande Collection offers, not to mention a sturdy 20mm in thickness.

Given the thickness of the board and the additional thickness in the hardwood top layer, Kahrs do not recommend this flooring be used with underfloor heating. Engineered wood flooring was specifically developed to solve the many issues suffered by solid wood flooring, namely its reaction to moisture and temperature changes combined with its inflexibility, undermining the life-span and strength of the floor. Engineered flooring typically solves those issues with it's multi-layer construction creating a far more flexible and durable floor. The majority of the Kahrs range is perfect for use with underfloor heating. However, this particular collection of 20mm thick floors have more hardwood (6mm versus the 3.5mm used in most of Kahrs floors), which makes them less suitable for underfloor heating.
