THE VAN GOGH COLLECTION:
The Van Gogh collection represents Karndean's mid-range gluedown offering, expertly positioned between entry-level options and premium collections. With 84 SKUs spanning wood planks, herringbone formats, chevron designs, and stone tiles, Van Gogh provides exceptional variety at accessible prices. Each stone design in the collection draws inspiration from authentic natural materials found in prestigious locations worldwide. The Bianco Breccia Marble captures the essence of Italian marble craftsmanship, where centuries of quarrying expertise have produced some of the world's most sought-after natural stone. Breccia marbles are particularly prized for their unique fragmented appearance, created by natural geological processes that break and reform the stone with calcite cementing, resulting in distinctive angular patterns that set them apart from other marble varieties. The collection's detailed surface textures and realistic coloring deliver authentic stone appearance, while mid-range pricing makes luxury marble aesthetics accessible to more projects and budgets.
BIANCO BRECCIA MARBLE AESTHETICS:
Breccia marble represents one of nature's most dramatic stone varieties, characterized by angular fragments and distinctive veining patterns that create a uniquely sophisticated aesthetic. The Bianco (white) variant showcases these characteristics against a pristine white base, where grey and cream veining flows organically across the surface in irregular, natural patterns. Unlike the more uniform veining of Carrara or Calacatta marbles, Breccia's fragmented appearance creates visual interest through its broken, angular patterns that seem to tell a geological story. This VGT3021 design faithfully reproduces these characteristics, with tile-to-tile variation that ensures no two tiles are identical, just like genuine marble slabs. The result is flooring that captures the prestigious aesthetic of Italian marble installations found in luxury hotels, upscale residences, and historic palazzos, where Breccia marble has been prized for centuries. The cool white tones reflect light beautifully, making spaces feel brighter, more open, and more luxurious.
DESIGN VERSATILITY:
The elegant neutrality of Bianco Breccia Marble makes it remarkably versatile across interior design styles. In classic and traditional interiors, it provides the authentic marble foundation that defines elegant design, pairing beautifully with ornate moldings, crystal chandeliers, and luxurious furnishings. Contemporary and modern spaces embrace the clean white palette and subtle veining as a sophisticated neutral base that allows furniture and artwork to shine. Transitional designs find the perfect balance between traditional marble elegance and contemporary clean lines. Minimalist and Scandinavian aesthetics appreciate the bright, light-enhancing properties and uncluttered appearance. Mediterranean and coastal styles benefit from the cool white tones that evoke seaside villas and sun-drenched terraces. Even industrial-chic interiors can incorporate marble tiles as a luxury contrast to exposed brick and metal fixtures. The design coordinates beautifully with grey, white, cream, and beige color schemes, while providing elegant contrast to darker accent colors and wood tones.
TECHNICAL EXCELLENCE:
Van Gogh's technical specifications deliver professional-grade performance that surpasses natural stone in many practical aspects. The 0.55mm wear layer provides substantial protection against scratches, scuffs, and wear patterns that would damage natural marble over time. This robust wear layer, enhanced by K-Guard+ surface protection and PU coating, creates a flooring surface that resists daily wear while remaining remarkably easy to clean and maintain. Unlike natural marble that requires regular sealing and is susceptible to etching from acidic substances, this luxury vinyl tile maintains its pristine appearance with simple sweeping and mopping. The 3.0mm total thickness delivers excellent dimensional stability and sound dampening while remaining comfortable underfoot. Micro bevelled edges on all four sides create subtle shadow lines that define individual tiles, replicating the authentic appearance of large-format marble tiling while preventing visible gaps. The 100% waterproof construction means this flooring won't absorb water, stain, or harbor bacteria, making it superior to natural marble in wet environments like bathrooms and kitchens where genuine stone would require extensive sealing and ongoing maintenance.
LARGE FORMAT TILE ADVANTAGES:
The 457mm x 914mm (18" x 36") large format tile size offers several important advantages. Larger tiles create fewer grout lines, resulting in a more seamless, sophisticated appearance that better replicates the look of large marble slabs used in luxury installations. This format also means faster installation coverage and a more contemporary aesthetic that's currently on-trend in high-end design. The reduced number of seams creates a cleaner, more streamlined look that allows the marble veining patterns to flow more naturally across the floor. With 8 tiles per box covering 3.345m², the large format proves efficient for medium to large rooms while the tile-to-tile variation ensures a natural, authentic appearance without repetitive patterns.
INSTALLATION BENEFITS:
Gluedown installation provides optimal performance for stone-look luxury vinyl tiles. The adhesive bond creates a completely stable floor without movement or hollow sounds that can occur with floating installations, essential for replicating the solid feel of genuine stone. This method allows for creative design possibilities including mixing different Van Gogh stone designs, incorporating design strips to simulate grouting effects or create decorative borders, and customizing laying patterns. Individual tiles can be replaced if damaged without disturbing surrounding flooring, a significant practical advantage. The gluedown method handles heavy furniture and rolling loads excellently, making it suitable for commercial kitchens, retail environments, and high-traffic areas. Compatibility with underfloor heating systems up to 27°C means you can enjoy the aesthetic luxury of marble without the cold underfoot sensation of natural stone, combining visual elegance with thermal comfort.
MAINTENANCE AND LONGEVITY:
Karndean's Van Gogh stone tiles require dramatically less maintenance than natural marble while delivering comparable aesthetic appeal. Regular sweeping or vacuuming removes loose dirt, while occasional damp mopping keeps the floor looking pristine. The K-Guard+ enhanced surface protection makes cleaning easier and helps prevent dirt accumulation in the surface texture. No sealing, polishing, or professional restoration is required, unlike natural marble that demands regular sealing and can etch or stain from common household substances. The waterproof construction means spills simply wipe away without penetrating the material, while the wear layer prevents scratches that would permanently damage natural stone. This makes Bianco Breccia Marble ideal for busy family bathrooms, working kitchens, and commercial spaces where natural marble would quickly show wear and require expensive maintenance. The lifetime residential warranty and 15-year commercial warranty demonstrate Karndean's confidence in long-term durability, providing peace of mind that your investment will maintain its luxurious appearance for decades.
