THE VAN GOGH COLLECTION:
The Van Gogh collection represents Karndean's mid-range gluedown offering, with multiple formats including prestigious herringbone designs. Glenmore Oak Herringbone represents the perfect convergence of three design elements creating exceptionally successful traditional flooring: matured oak character providing authentic traditional charm, warm brown finishing offering comfortable elegance, and herringbone patterning adding architectural prestige. The Glenmore name references Scottish Highland landscapes—specifically evoking Glenmore Forest in the Cairngorms National Park, one of Scotland's most magnificent ancient Caledonian pine forests where oak and other hardwoods thrive in the Highland climate. This connection creates associations with Scottish heritage, Highland landscapes, natural beauty, and the established quality that defines traditional Scottish design. The well-balanced cracks and marks bring genuine matured authenticity—not pristine timber but wood with lived-in character suggesting age and authenticity. The unique natural wood grain emboss enhances realism. The warm brown coloring provides traditional comfort and natural elegance. The compact herringbone format (457mm x 114mm) creates intricate detailed patterns suited to traditional installations while showcasing the warm matured character beautifully.
WARM MATURED HERRINGBONE SOPHISTICATION:
The combination of warm brown matured character with herringbone patterning creates exceptionally sophisticated yet welcoming flooring. The herringbone pattern adds architectural sophistication and geometric interest, the matured marks provide authentic traditional character, the oak grain adds natural authenticity, and the warm brown coloring ensures comfortable inviting elegance. The well-balanced character flowing through the herringbone arrangement creates beautiful traditional authenticity where matured marks interact with geometric structure, ensuring visual interest and warm charm without overwhelming darkness or coldness. The warm brown coloring creates essential traditional comfort, ensuring the matured herringbone feels inviting and established rather than formal or austere.
SCOTTISH HIGHLAND CHARACTER:
Glenmore Oak Herringbone embodies Scottish Highland design principles—authentic natural character, traditional craftsmanship, warm established quality, and the timeless aesthetic that comes from combining Highland heritage with enduring elegance. The Glenmore reference connects to Scottish forests, Highland landscapes, Cairngorms National Park, and Scotland's natural heritage.

TECHNICAL EXCELLENCE:
Van Gogh's technical specifications deliver professional-grade performance that makes warm matured herringbone practical for real-world use. The 0.55mm wear layer provides robust protection for both the warm brown 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 naturally. The 3.0mm total thickness delivers dimensional stability crucial for maintaining precise herringbone geometry. The 100% waterproof construction means herringbone can be installed in kitchens and bathrooms.
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 spaces. Individual planks can be replaced if damaged. The plank-to-plank variation in warm matured character ensures installations display authentic traditional appearance. Mixing with the large plank format in adjoining rooms creates coordinated traditional 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 warm brown matured character with well-balanced marks cleverly helps conceal inevitable wear—the existing character means new marks simply add to authentic patina while the warm tones help maintain inviting traditional appearances. Unlike genuine aged oak requiring careful preservation, this luxury vinyl maintains its designed warm 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.
