Technical Excellence:
Karndean Knight Tile Grey Scandi Pine KP131 features advanced construction technology that delivers authentic grey pine 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 staining, sealing, or treatments required. Unlike real pine that's soft timber, easily scratched and dented, particularly vulnerable when stained grey as the stain highlights damage, KP131 maintains its pristine 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 grey Scandinavian pine, including the soft grey tones with cool undertones, the characteristic pine grain with subtle knots, the contemporary grey-washed finish, and natural wood variation that creates authentic softwood timber results. The subtle variation ensures organic, natural-looking floors rather than repetitive artificial appearances. Engineered stability layers are designed to minimize expansion and contraction, ensuring dimensional stability - real pine is particularly prone to movement with moisture and temperature changes, especially when stained. The floor is 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. The 2.0mm total thickness makes Grey Scandi Pine KP131 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.
Installation & Maintenance:
Karndean Knight Tile Grey Scandi Pine KP131 requires professional glue-down installation, offering creative flexibility for authentic grey Nordic wood floor aesthetics. The 915mm x 152mm planks can be installed in various patterns including straight lay running lengthwise for classic wood flooring that creates clean, contemporary feelings - particularly effective with grey wood that naturally creates calm, sophisticated spaces. Diagonal lay angles planks at 45 degrees for visual interest and makes rooms appear wider. Random offset installation creates authentic timber flooring appearance with staggered end joints - recommended for most realistic wood floor effects.
For contemporary Nordic detailing, add Karndean Design Strips between planks to create ships decking effects with defined plank borders. Use DS22 Graphite strips for tonal grey-on-grey sophistication, DS12 Concrete for industrial-soft grey contrast, DS10 Chalk for lighter contrast, or DS21 White Linen for soft pale definition. Design Strips work beautifully with grey wood, adding architectural detailing.
Mix KP131 with other Knight Tile designs for custom installations. Create borders using contrasting wood tones - grey pine with natural oak creates striking contemporary contrast. Combine with Dove Grey Concrete (ST21) tiles in kitchen zones with grey pine in living areas for cohesive grey-toned open-plan schemes. Use grey pine with lighter Washed Scandi Pine (KP132) for tonal Nordic installations using different grey/blonde depths in different zones.
The gluedown installation means no expansion gaps are required - planks fit tight against walls, skirting boards, and fixtures for professional, seamless finishes. Grey Scandi Pine KP131 is fully compatible with underfloor heating systems up to 27°C, adding warmth underfoot whilst maintaining the contemporary grey aesthetic.
Maintenance couldn't be simpler compared to real grey-stained pine. The K-Guard+ surface treatment means KP131 requires only regular sweeping and mopping with Karndean Clean to maintain its pristine grey appearance. Unlike real pine that requires initial grey staining, regular maintenance as the stain fades or wears, constant worry about water damage causing swelling and warping, and the challenge of maintaining even grey color as some areas wear differently than others, Grey Scandi Pine KP131 is completely waterproof and maintains its uniform grey finish permanently. There's no staining, no refinishing, no anxiety about uneven color wear - complete peace of mind. Individual plank replacement is possible if needed without color-matching concerns.
