The Kahrs Beyond Retro Strip collection is a celebration of heritage and innovation.

Why Choose Beyond Retro Strip
Perfect for those who appreciate history with a modern twist, Beyond Retro offers timeless parquet-inspired styling in an ultra-matt, soft-touch lacquer that feels as natural as raw wood. With six sophisticated tones—ranging from Loft White to Charcoal Light—it’s designed to complement interiors with a warm, lived-in character while benefiting from today’s engineering standards.
Product Overview
Beyond Retro Strip planks are crafted with a 3-strip oak top layer, a 15 mm overall thickness, and a 3.5 mm wear layer that supports light sanding for long-term renewal. The surface is brushed for depth, finished with silky ultra-matte lacquer, and framed with 4-sided micro-bevelled edges. The core’s three-layer pine/spruce/alder construction provides exceptional stability and compatibility with concrete subfloors and underfloor heating.
Suitability
This range is ideal for living rooms, dining areas, and bedrooms where a refined, heritage-inspired look is desired. Its engineered design ensures dimensional stability in homes with varying humidity and makes it a great choice for modern lifestyles, including use with underfloor heating systems. Eco-certifications ensure sustainability and healthier indoor air quality.
Installation & Maintenance
Fitted with Kahrs’ patented Woodloc® 5S click system, Beyond Retro Strip can be installed as a floating floor without glue, ensuring tight, gap-free seams. Boards can also be glued down where needed. Maintenance is straightforward—sweep or vacuum regularly, and occasionally damp mop with approved cleaners. Thanks to its ultra-matte finish, the floor is resistant to scratches and stains while maintaining a natural, raw wood feel.
