Ideal For:
Transform residential spaces including bathrooms, en-suites, powder rooms, cloakrooms, utility rooms, kitchens, hallways, and conservatories into havens of natural stone elegance. The sophisticated grey quartzite aesthetic complements contemporary, Scandinavian, modern classic, transitional, and spa-inspired interiors. The medium tile format is particularly well-suited to smaller bathrooms where it creates visual harmony without overwhelming the space. Also perfect for commercial applications including spa facilities, boutique hotel bathrooms, upscale retail changing rooms, and wellness centers seeking refined natural stone aesthetics.
Technical Excellence:
Karndean Art Select represents the pinnacle of luxury vinyl engineering. With a robust 3.0mm total thickness and premium 0.7mm wear layer, Brenner Quartzite delivers outstanding performance against daily wear, impacts, and moisture. Unlike natural quartzite—which requires professional installation, regular sealing to prevent staining, is cold and hard underfoot, expensive, and can be difficult to cut and fit in smaller spaces—this luxury vinyl alternative offers all the natural stone beauty with none of the complications. Simply sweep and mop to maintain its pristine appearance.
Installation & Maintenance:
Brenner Quartzite features gluedown installation, allowing for versatile laying patterns including straight lay, brick bond, or offset arrangements. The 18" x 24" format provides excellent coverage while remaining perfectly proportioned for smaller bathrooms and compact areas. Each box covers 3.345m² with 12 tiles, making project planning straightforward. Compatible with underfloor heating systems up to 27°C for added warmth and comfort—eliminating the cold shock associated with natural stone floors. The individual tile format means any damaged tiles can be easily replaced without disturbing the entire floor.
Design Inspiration:
Elevate your design by incorporating Karndean Design Strips between tiles to create subtle grouting effects or define zones. DS12 Concrete provides tonal continuity that complements the grey palette, while DS10 Chalk adds gentle contrast. For more dramatic definition, try DS22 Graphite to create contemporary borders or geometric accents. The sophisticated grey tones pair beautifully with chrome and brushed nickel fixtures, white sanitaryware, natural wood vanities, and soft textiles. Create a spa-like sanctuary with frameless glass, floating vanities, and minimalist accessories, or embrace contemporary elegance with statement lighting and luxury fittings.
