Facts about wood speecies

natural colour changes

Wood exposed to normal sunlight is subject to colour changes. As with all natural products made from wood, these changes are expected and add to the beauty and distinctiveness of wood floors.
Kährs wood floors come in a variety of species, ranging from silky, light maple to dramatically dark walnut. Apart from looks, wood species also vary in versatility, hardness and how they react when they are exposed to normal sunlight. If you move or rearrange rugs and furniture periodically, you avoid distinct lines between the exposed and unexposed areas of the floor. No matter which species you choose, you can rest assured that it has been sustainably forested.
Oak

The light brown to darker tones of White Oak undergoes a medium degree of colour change with slight ambering over time.

Ash

The sapwood is almost white and the heartwood ranges from grey through light brown to light yellow with brown streaks. Ash undergoes a medium degree of change over time from a lighter freshly sanded tone to a straw/tan colour.

Walnut

The sapwood is light toned while the distinguishing heartwood is a light brown to dark chocolate brown, sometimes with a tendency to purple. Over time, it develops a warm, golden-brown lustre as the darker heartwood softens in tone, adding elegance and depth to your home.

Beech

Beech brings a soft, inviting palette to your space, with tones from light cream to warm tan and pink-orange highlights. Over time, its colours gently mellow, with subtle ambering and a softening of the orange hues. Please note: Beech is not recommended for use over underfloor heating.
