Technical Excellence:
Salon Oak Parquet combines beauty with cutting-edge technology. The enhanced K-Guard+ surface protection system provides superior resistance to everyday wear, scuffs, and scratches, while maintaining the floor's authentic appearance. The deep bevelled edges on all four sides create subtle shadow lines that accentuate each piece and add dimensional character to your chosen laying pattern.
The individual plank format means damaged pieces can be easily replaced without disrupting the entire floor. Compatible with underfloor heating systems up to 27°C, Salon Oak Parquet ensures year-round comfort underfoot while delivering the authentic look of traditional wood parquet.
Installation & Maintenance:
Designed for professional glue-down installation, Salon Oak Parquet adheres directly to suitable subfloors, creating a permanent, stable surface. The parquet format allows installers to create bespoke patterns tailored to your space, with design strips available to add grouting effects or decorative borders that enhance your floor's unique character.
Maintenance couldn't be simpler - regular sweeping and occasional mopping with Karndean's specially formulated cleaning products keeps your floor looking showroom-fresh. Unlike natural wood parquet that requires periodic refinishing, your Karndean floor maintains its beauty without the need for sanding, staining, or sealing.
Design Inspiration:
Salon Oak Parquet pairs beautifully with Karndean Design Strips to create custom borders, feature panels, or grouting effects. Consider complementary wood tones like DS03, DS06, or DS04 for subtle detailing, or create dramatic contrast with stone-effect strips like DS14 or DS22 Graphite. The versatile brown tones work harmoniously with natural materials, cream and beige palettes, and even bold accent colours for a contemporary twist.
The warm mid-toned oak aesthetic suits a variety of interior styles - from Scandinavian minimalism to rustic farmhouse, traditional country house to modern industrial loft conversions. Create a cohesive flow throughout your home by combining Salon Oak Parquet in feature areas with the coordinating Salon Oak 48" x 7" planks in adjoining spaces.
