Technical Excellence:

Karndean Knight Tile Coastal Sawn Oak KP136 features advanced construction technology that delivers authentic coastal sawn oak aesthetics with superior practical performance. The K-Guard+ surface protection combines PU technology to create a hygienic, highly durable finish that resists everyday wear whilst remaining incredibly easy to clean - simply sweep and mop, no sealing, sanding, or coastal timber maintenance required. Unlike real coastal timber that's weathered, salt-damaged, and requires constant maintenance to prevent rot, splitting, and deterioration from moisture and UV exposure, KP136 maintains its pristine weathered appearance permanently. The 0.3mm wear layer provides excellent protection against everyday wear and tear, scratches, and scuffs, making it suitable for residential applications and moderate commercial traffic environments. Beneath the wear layer, a high-definition photographic layer captures every nuance of coastal sawn oak, including the light cream to blonde palette with grey undertones, the distinctive saw marks and surface texture of traditional sawing, the sun-bleached weathered appearance, the natural oak grain with subtle knots, and the fresh coastal character that evokes driftwood and beach house timber. The variation ensures organic, natural-looking weathered floors. Engineered stability layers are designed to minimize expansion and contraction, ensuring dimensional stability - real coastal timber is particularly prone to movement and warping from constant moisture exposure and coastal conditions. The floor is compatible with underfloor heating systems up to 27°C. The heavy-duty PVC backing layer provides excellent indentation resistance and recovery. The 2.0mm total thickness makes Coastal Sawn Oak KP136 ideal for both renovation projects and new build applications.

Installation & Maintenance:

Karndean Knight Tile Coastal Sawn Oak KP136 requires professional glue-down installation, offering creative flexibility for authentic coastal sawn oak floor aesthetics. The 915mm x 152mm planks can be installed in various patterns including straight lay running lengthwise for classic wood flooring that showcases the sawn texture and weathered character. The light coastal tones create fresh, spacious feelings. Diagonal lay angles planks for visual interest and makes rooms appear wider - effective in smaller beach cottages. Random offset installation creates authentic weathered timber flooring appearance with staggered joints - recommended for most realistic coastal oak effects.

For coastal detailing, add Karndean Design Strips between planks to create ships decking effects with defined plank borders - perfect for nautical and maritime aesthetics. Use DS21 White Linen for soft pale strips that maintain coastal lightness, DS03 pale wood strips for coordinated wood-on-wood detailing, or DS12 Concrete for contemporary grey contrast creating modern coastal-industrial fusion. Ships decking with Design Strips is particularly authentic for coastal aesthetics, evoking boat decking and seaside boardwalks.

Mix KP136 with other Knight Tile designs for custom installations. Create borders using contrasting wood tones or combine with light stone tiles for coastal mixed-material schemes. The fresh coastal oak coordinates with natural materials whilst maintaining breezy character.

The gluedown installation means no expansion gaps are required - planks fit tight against walls, skirting boards, and fixtures for professional, seamless finishes. Coastal Sawn Oak KP136 is fully compatible with underfloor heating systems up to 27°C, adding warmth underfoot.

Maintenance couldn't be simpler compared to real coastal timber. The K-Guard+ surface treatment means KP136 requires only regular sweeping and mopping with Karndean Clean to maintain its pristine weathered appearance. Unlike real coastal timber requiring constant maintenance to prevent rot from moisture and salt exposure, sanding to restore weathered surfaces, sealing to protect from UV damage and water penetration, and eventual replacement as coastal conditions destroy the wood, Coastal Sawn Oak KP136 is completely waterproof and maintains its fresh weathered finish permanently. There's no coastal timber maintenance, no sanding, no sealing, no worry about rot or salt damage - complete peace of mind for coastal living. Individual plank replacement is possible if needed.
