Technical Excellence:
Karndean Art Select represents the pinnacle of luxury vinyl tile engineering. With a substantial 3.0mm total thickness and premium 0.7mm wear layer, Dove Artisan Oak delivers outstanding resilience against everyday wear, foot traffic, and spills. The liming finish and registered emboss provide exceptional scratch and scuff resistance while creating authentic visual and tactile depth—all without requiring sanding, oiling, waxing, or specialist maintenance. Simply sweep and mop to maintain its artisan beauty for decades.
Installation & Maintenance:
Dove Artisan Oak features gluedown installation, allowing for versatile laying patterns including straight lay, brick bond, or creative mixed designs. Combine with the matching SM-RL30 herringbone format (18" x 3") to create stunning feature areas, borders, or room transitions for a truly bespoke designer floor. Each 3.252m² box contains 10 planks, making coverage calculation straightforward. Compatible with underfloor heating systems up to 27°C, and unlike traditional oak parquet that requires careful acclimatization, professional sanding, and regular oiling, this innovative alternative is ready to use immediately.
Design Inspiration:
Enhance your floor design by incorporating Karndean Design Strips between planks. DS10 Chalk beautifully complements the limed finish, while DS21 White Linen maintains the refined neutral aesthetic. For subtle definition, try DS03 or DS14 stone-effect strips. The neutral limed palette pairs effortlessly with soft whites, warm greys, gentle blues, sage green, and natural materials. Create a Scandinavian sanctuary with clean lines and natural textures, embrace contemporary farmhouse style with shiplap and vintage finds, or achieve minimalist sophistication with simple forms and quality materials.
