esigned to accommodate a growing desire for highly realistic flooring, Karndean’s latest Art Select wood designs offer realistic cross-sawn and hand-scraped embosses for an authentic look of traditional crafted planks, with intricate patterns for impressive variation across the floor. The new designs feature a preferred 3.0mm thickness, 0.7mm wear layer and enhanced R10/R11 slip resistance ratings. Four brand-new oak designs – Prairie Oak, Glacier Oak, Mountain Oak and Savannah Oak – offer an extended colour range to include gentle beige, cool grey and warm honey tones. Available in a choice of extra-large planks (56 x 9") and parquet format (18 x 3"), the new oak designs are suitable for different laying patterns, such as herringbone or laying at 45˚, bringing a sense of grandeur to any interior. Joining Karndean’s Art Select hickory range are four brandnew designs – Natural Hickory, Weathered Hickory, Vintage Hickory and Classic Hickory – offering unique and elegant contrasts in colour between the deeper heartwood of the plank

and the bright outer sapwood. A new and exclusive emboss enhances the characteristic saw marks of the original wood flooring, authentically replicating the appearance and texture of unfinished timber. A new Reclaimed Chestnut design faithfully replicates the rustic feel and rich warm tones of traditionally crafted wood planks found in historic barns and factories of North America. Featuring the subtle matte finish of unfinished boards, the new design offers an eclectic, rustic appearance. Now scarce in its natural form, reclaimed American chestnut floors are often collated from many sources and feature a mix and match pattern of planks, so for additional realism, Karndean’s Reclaimed Chestnut design is also available in a random plank option. Available from October, Karndean’s updated and extended Art Select collection now features a total of 33 wood designs and 21 stone designs.
