Technical Excellence:
Karndean Knight Tile White Painted Oak KP105 features advanced construction technology that delivers authentic painted 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 painting, sealing, or special treatments required. Unlike real painted wood that chips, scratches, and requires periodic repainting, KP105 maintains its white 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 white painted oak, including the soft white painted finish, the visible oak grain showing through the paint, the natural wood texture, and subtle tonal variation that creates authentic results. The grain remains visible rather than being completely obscured, creating the authentic appearance of quality oak that's been painted rather than cheap painted MDF or flat white surfaces. 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. The 2.0mm total thickness makes White Painted Oak KP105 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 White Painted Oak KP105 requires professional glue-down installation, offering creative flexibility that allows you to achieve authentic painted wood floor aesthetics with modern installation advantages. The 915mm x 152mm planks can be installed in various patterns including straight lay running lengthwise through spaces for classic wood flooring that creates clean, spacious feelings - particularly effective with white wood that naturally makes spaces feel larger. Diagonal lay angles planks at 45 degrees to make rooms appear wider and adds visual interest. Random offset installation creates authentic hardwood flooring appearance with staggered end joints - recommended for most realistic wood floor effects.
For creative installations, add Karndean Design Strips between planks to create ships decking effects with defined plank borders. Use DS21 White Linen for subtle tonal definition, DS12 Concrete for contemporary grey contrast, or darker strips for stronger definition. Design Strips work particularly well with white painted oak, adding nautical or Scandinavian detailing.
Combine KP105 with other Knight Tile designs for custom installations. Create borders using contrasting wood tones or stone tiles. Use white painted oak in living areas with different Knight Tile wood designs in hallways for zoned aesthetics. Mix with natural oak planks for two-tone installations.
The gluedown installation means no expansion gaps are required - planks fit tight against walls, skirting boards, and fixtures for professional, seamless finishes. White Painted Oak KP105 is fully compatible with underfloor heating systems up to 27°C, adding warmth underfoot.
Maintenance couldn't be simpler compared to real painted wood. The K-Guard+ surface treatment means KP105 requires only regular sweeping and mopping with Karndean Clean to maintain its pristine white appearance. Unlike real painted wood requiring periodic repainting as paint chips and wears, regular sealing, and constant worry about water damage causing swelling and warping, White Painted Oak KP105 is completely waterproof and maintains its finish permanently. There's no painting, no sealing, no touching up chips, no anxiety about spills - complete peace of mind. The individual plank format means that should any plank become damaged, it can be replaced without disturbing the surrounding floor. Perfect for renovations over existing floors.
