Karndean Art Select represents the pinnacle of luxury vinyl tile engineering. With a substantial 3.0mm total thickness and premium 0.7mm wear layer, Castle Hill Ash delivers outstanding resilience against everyday wear, foot traffic, and spills. The enhanced surface treatment protects against scuffs and marks while maintaining the sophisticated mid-toned aesthetic—all without requiring sanding, oiling, waxing, or specialist maintenance. Simply sweep and mop to keep your floor looking pristine for decades. The mid-tone colouring hides dirt and wear effectively while maintaining visual warmth and interest.
Installation & Maintenance:
Castle Hill Ash features gluedown installation, allowing for versatile laying patterns including straight lay, brick bond, or creative mixed-width designs. The slimline format creates an elegant aesthetic with more visible joints that emphasize the individual planks and dynamic grain patterns. Each 3.345m² box contains 24 planks, making coverage calculation straightforward. Compatible with underfloor heating systems up to 27°C for added comfort. Unlike natural ash that requires careful acclimatization, professional installation, and regular maintenance, this luxury vinyl alternative is ready to install and use immediately with minimal ongoing care.
Design Inspiration:
Enhance your floor design by incorporating Karndean Design Strips between planks. DS04, DS05, and DS06 wood-effect strips complement the warm beige tones, while DS12 Concrete adds contemporary definition that echoes the grey undertones. DS22 Graphite provides dramatic contrast for bold modern borders. The mid-toned neutral with dark beige and grey blend pairs beautifully with both warm colours like terracotta, warm yellows, and rich browns, and cool tones like soft blues, sage green, and cool greys. Create a contemporary sanctuary with clean lines and quality materials, embrace transitional elegance with mixed styles, or achieve natural modern sophistication with organic textures and minimalist forms.
