Technical Excellence: Karndean Knight Tile Frosted Marble ST26 features advanced construction technology that delivers contemporary frosted marble 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 or special treatments required. Unlike porous natural marble prone to staining and etching from acidic substances, ST26 repels all spills effortlessly. 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 frosted white marble, including the soft, muted grey veining, pale white background, and the distinctive diffused appearance that creates the characteristic frosted effect. The subtle variation ensures each tile contributes to natural, organic flooring that doesn't appear artificial or repetitive. Engineered stability layers are designed to minimize expansion and contraction, ensuring dimensional stability across temperature changes and making the floor compatible with underfloor heating systems up to 27°C - adding warmth to the cool marble aesthetic. The heavy-duty PVC backing layer provides excellent indentation resistance and recovery, protecting against furniture marks and heavy objects. The 2.0mm total thickness makes Frosted Marble ST26 ideal for both renovation projects where it can be installed over existing hard floors, and new build applications where its slim profile doesn't affect door clearances. The non-bevelled edges create seamless tile-to-tile transitions that create contemporary, flowing marble surfaces without interruption. Installation & Maintenance: Karndean Knight Tile Frosted Marble ST26 requires professional glue-down installation, offering creative flexibility that allows you to achieve contemporary marble floor aesthetics with modern installation advantages.

This classic installation maximizes the calming effect of the soft marble aesthetic. Offset/brick pattern installation staggers each row by half the tile length for a softer, more organic appearance that adds gentle movement whilst maintaining contemporary sophistication. For modern grouted marble effects, add Karndean Design Strips in 3mm or 5mm widths between tiles. DS12 Concrete creates contemporary grey grout that provides modern contrast against the soft white marble - particularly effective for industrial-contemporary or urban-luxe aesthetics. DS21 White Linen provides subtle tonal grout that maintains the light, serene palette whilst adding refined definition to individual tiles. DS22 Graphite adds bold contrast for dramatic contemporary installations. The DS12 Concrete strip shown in product imagery demonstrates how effective grey grout can be with frosted white marble, creating modern sophistication. Tiles can be cut precisely to fit around fixtures, vanities, kitchen islands, and irregular room shapes. Combine ST26 with other Knight Tile designs for custom installations - use frosted marble in wet areas with coordinating wood planks in adjacent living spaces, or create marble entrance zones transitioning to wood in hallways. The gluedown installation means no expansion gaps are required - tiles fit tight against walls, skirting boards, and fixtures for professional, seamless finishes that maximize the flowing marble effect. Frosted Marble ST26 is fully compatible with underfloor heating systems up to 27°C, adding warmth underfoot whilst maintaining the cool marble aesthetic. Maintenance couldn't be simpler compared to natural marble. The K-Guard+ surface treatment means ST26 requires only regular sweeping and mopping with Karndean Clean to maintain its pristine frosted appearance. Unlike natural marble requiring sealing upon installation, regular resealing, and constant vigilance against acidic spills that cause etching and staining, Frosted Marble ST26 is completely waterproof and stain-resistant from day one. There's no sealing, no special marble cleaners, no worrying about wine, lemon juice, or cleaning products damaging the surface - complete peace of mind. The individual tile format means that should any tile become damaged, it can be replaced without disturbing the surrounding floor.
