THE VAN GOGH COLLECTION:

The Van Gogh collection represents Karndean's mid-range gluedown offering, with multiple formats including prestigious herringbone designs. Aviemore Oak Herringbone represents the perfect convergence of three design elements creating exceptionally successful contemporary rustic flooring: matured oak character providing authentic rustic charm, grey finishing offering contemporary sophistication, and herringbone patterning adding architectural prestige. The Aviemore name references the Scottish Highland town surrounded by ancient forests and dramatic Cairngorms landscapes where oak develops distinctive weathered character. The well-balanced cracks and marks bring genuine matured authenticity—not pristine timber but wood with lived-in character. The unique natural wood grain emboss enhances realism. The grey coloring provides contemporary sophistication making rustic character work in modern interiors. The compact herringbone format (457mm x 114mm) creates intricate detailed patterns suited to traditional and country installations while showcasing the grey matured character beautifully.

GREY MATURED HERRINGBONE SOPHISTICATION:

The combination of grey matured character with herringbone patterning creates exceptionally sophisticated yet livable flooring. The herringbone pattern adds architectural sophistication and geometric interest, the matured marks provide authentic rustic character, the oak grain adds natural authenticity, and the grey coloring ensures contemporary sophistication. The well-balanced character flowing through the herringbone arrangement creates beautiful authenticity where matured marks interact with geometric structure, ensuring visual interest and rustic charm without overwhelming darkness. The grey coloring prevents the matured herringbone from becoming traditionally heavy, creating instead approachable sophisticated rustic elegance perfect for contemporary country living.

SCOTTISH HIGHLAND CHARACTER:

Aviemore Oak Herringbone embodies Scottish Highland design principles—authentic natural character, rugged beauty, contemporary sophistication, and the unique aesthetic that comes from combining Highland heritage with modern refinement. The Aviemore reference connects to Scottish landscapes, outdoor lifestyle, ancient forests, and Cairngorms National Park. This Scottish character makes it particularly valuable for Highland properties, Scottish country homes, mountain retreats, and anyone appreciating Scottish design heritage.

TECHNICAL EXCELLENCE:

Van Gogh's technical specifications deliver professional-grade performance that makes grey matured herringbone practical for real-world use. The 0.55mm wear layer provides robust protection for both the grey coloring and matured appearance. The K-Guard+ surface protection and PU coating create surfaces that resist daily wear. The unique natural wood grain emboss adds exceptional tactile realism. The matured character helps conceal minor scratches and wear. The 3.0mm total thickness delivers dimensional stability crucial for maintaining precise herringbone geometry. The 100% waterproof construction means herringbone can be installed in bathrooms and kitchens.

INSTALLATION CONSIDERATIONS:

Compact herringbone installation requires professional expertise to achieve precise geometry. The gluedown method proves ideal, creating stable, permanent installations. Careful planning determines pattern starting points and border treatments. The compact format requires more pieces and precision but creates intricate, detailed results valued in traditional and country spaces. Individual planks can be replaced if damaged. The plank-to-plank variation in grey matured character ensures installations display authentic appearance. Mixing with the large plank format in adjoining rooms creates coordinated contemporary rustic design.

MAINTENANCE AND LONGEVITY:

Karndean's Van Gogh herringbone requires minimal maintenance while delivering decades of beautiful performance. Regular sweeping or vacuuming removes dirt, with occasional damp mopping maintaining appearance. The grey matured character with well-balanced marks cleverly helps conceal inevitable wear—the existing character means new marks simply add to authentic patina while the grey tones help maintain sophisticated appearances. Unlike genuine aged oak requiring careful preservation, this luxury vinyl maintains its designed grey matured character effortlessly. The waterproof construction means no special protection needed. The lifetime residential warranty and 15-year commercial warranty provide confidence in long-term durability.
