Technical Excellence:
Karndean Knight Tile Grey Limed Oak SM-KP138 features advanced construction technology that delivers authentic grey limed herringbone parquet 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 liming maintenance, no grey staining or refinishing required. Unlike real grey limed oak parquet requiring initial professional grey staining and liming, regular maintenance as treatments wear or change color, and eventual refinishing, SM-KP138 maintains its pristine grey limed herringbone appearance permanently. The 0.3mm wear layer provides excellent protection making it suitable for residential applications and moderate commercial traffic. Beneath the wear layer, a high-definition photographic layer captures every nuance of grey limed oak, including the sophisticated grey tones with cool undertones, the distinctive white pigmentation within the grain characteristic of liming, the natural oak grain patterns, and the contemporary two-toned effects that create refined modern aesthetics. The variation ensures organic herringbone floors. Engineered stability layers minimize expansion and contraction - crucial for herringbone patterns. The floor is compatible with underfloor heating systems up to 27°C. The 2.0mm total thickness makes SM-KP138 ideal for renovations.
Installation & Maintenance:
Karndean Knight Tile Grey Limed Oak SM-KP138 requires professional glue-down installation in the traditional herringbone pattern. The 457mm x 76mm (18" x 3") planks create classic herringbone chevron effects where planks meet at 90-degree angles forming the distinctive V-shaped zigzag pattern. Professional installers arrange planks to form the traditional pattern now reimagined with contemporary grey limed oak character. The herringbone can be installed at different scales - single herringbone uses individual planks, whilst double herringbone creates larger-scale patterns for bigger spaces.
For exceptionally sophisticated contemporary installations, combine SM-KP138 herringbone with matching KP138 standard planks (915mm x 152mm) in coordinated layouts. Use herringbone as feature areas - dining rooms, hallways, living room centers, or entrance zones - with standard planks as borders or in adjacent spaces. This contemporary approach maximizes herringbone impact whilst controlling costs and creating sophisticated zoned interiors.
Create framed herringbone installations by surrounding the pattern with Karndean Design Strips. Use DS22 Graphite for tonal grey-on-grey contemporary sophistication, DS12 Concrete for industrial-contemporary grey contrast, or DS10 Chalk for lighter grey definition. Grey Design Strips work beautifully with grey limed herringbone.
The gluedown installation means no expansion gaps required. Grey Limed Oak SM-KP138 is fully compatible with underfloor heating systems up to 27°C.
Maintenance couldn't be simpler compared to real grey limed parquet. The K-Guard+ surface treatment means SM-KP138 requires only regular sweeping and mopping. Unlike real grey limed parquet requiring initial grey staining and liming, maintenance as treatments wear or fade with high-traffic areas changing color differently, refinishing including re-staining and re-liming, and constant worry about water damage, Grey Limed Oak SM-KP138 is completely waterproof and maintains its uniform grey limed finish permanently. Individual plank replacement possible if needed.
