Technical Excellence: Karndean Knight Tile Glacial Marble ST27 features advanced construction technology that delivers authentic stone 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 special treatments required. 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 natural glacial marble, including the subtle grey veining, cool white background, and authentic stone texture that creates strikingly realistic results. 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. 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 Glacial Marble ST27 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 or room heights. The non-bevelled edges create seamless tile-to-tile transitions that mimic the appearance of large-format stone tiles. Installation & Maintenance: Karndean Knight Tile Glacial Marble ST27 requires professional glue-down installation, offering creative flexibility that allows you to achieve truly custom results. The rectangular 305mm x 457mm tiles can be installed in various patterns including straight lay for a clean, contemporary grid appearance, or offset/brick pattern for a more traditional stone tile aesthetic. For an authentic grouted stone floor effect, add Karndean Design Strips in 3mm or 5mm widths between tiles - the DS12 Concrete Design Strip is particularly effective with Glacial Marble, creating a modern industrial-luxe look. Tiles can be cut precisely to fit around fixtures, columns, and irregular room shapes, and can be combined with other Knight Tile designs for custom borders or feature zones. The gluedown installation means no expansion gaps are required - tiles fit tight against walls, skirting boards, and fixtures for a professional, seamless finish. Glacial Marble ST27 is fully compatible with underfloor heating systems up to 27°C, adding warmth underfoot to the cool marble aesthetic. Maintenance couldn't be simpler. The K-Guard+ surface treatment means Glacial Marble requires only regular sweeping and mopping with Karndean Clean to maintain its pristine appearance. Unlike natural marble that requires sealing, special cleaners, and constant vigilance against acidic spills, Glacial Marble ST27 is completely waterproof and stain-resistant. There's no sanding, varnishing, or staining required - ever. The individual tile format means that should any tile become damaged, it can be replaced without disturbing the surrounding floor. The gluedown format is ideal for renovation projects and can be installed over most existing hard floors, making it a cost-effective solution for updating tired spaces. Unlike ceramic or porcelain tiles, no grouting is required unless you choose to add Design Strips for aesthetic effect. Design Inspiration: Glacial Marble ST27's cool white marble aesthetic opens up endless design possibilities across both contemporary and traditional interiors. The rectangular 305mm x 457mm tile format is perfect for creating classic stone floor installations that mirror the appearance of natural marble tiles. Straight Lay Installation: Arrange tiles in a clean grid pattern for contemporary, minimalist spaces where the marble veining creates organic interest against the geometric layout. This classic approach works beautifully in modern bathrooms, sleek kitchens, and contemporary hallways. Offset/Brick Pattern: Stagger each row of tiles by half for a traditional stone floor aesthetic that adds movement and visual interest. This timeless pattern suits both period properties and modern homes seeking a softer, more organic feel than straight lay. Design Strips as Grout: Add 3mm or 5mm Karndean Design Strips between tiles to create an authentic grouted stone floor effect. DS12 Concrete creates a modern, industrial-luxe aesthetic. DS21 White Linen provides a subtle, tonal grout that keeps the focus on the marble veining. DS22 Graphite adds dramatic contrast for contemporary spaces. This technique allows you to achieve the traditional appearance of grouted marble tiles with all the practical benefits of LVT. Mixed Stone Designs: Combine Glacial Marble ST27 with other Knight Tile stone designs for custom patterns and borders. The cool white marble works beautifully as a main field with darker stone borders for defined elegance. Coordinated Formats: Glacial Marble is also available in a smaller SM-ST27 format (76mm x 457mm / 3" x 18"), allowing you to create feature areas with the smaller tiles whilst using ST27 as the main field, or vice versa. This coordinated approach adds depth and design sophistication. Feature Areas and Zoning: Use Glacial Marble to define specific zones within open-plan spaces - perhaps as a waterproof kitchen floor that coordinates with Knight Tile wood planks in the living area. The bright white marble is perfect for creating feature entrances that make an immediate impression. Style Compatibility: The cool, crisp white marble aesthetic of Glacial Marble ST27 suits multiple interior styles. For contemporary minimalist schemes, pair with sleek white cabinetry, chrome fixtures, and clean-lined furniture for a serene, spa-like atmosphere. In classic traditional interiors, the marble brings timeless elegance that complements period features. Scandinavian design schemes benefit from the light-reflective white surface that enhances natural light and creates airy spaces. Industrial-contemporary lofts can use Glacial Marble with DS12 Concrete Design Strips for an urban-luxe aesthetic. Coastal interiors pair beautifully with the cool white and grey tones that evoke seaside sophistication.
