Karndean
The Ultimate Expression of Timeless Elegance Elevate your interior design with the Karndean Art Select Blond Oak Parquet AP01. This premium luxury vinyl tile (LVT) captures the intricate beauty of natural timber, blending the gentle, pale variable tones of traditional oak with the sophisticated visual interest of a parquet format. Designed for those who refuse to compromise between aesthetics and performance, the Blond Oak (also known in newer collections as Spring Oak) brings a bright, airy feel to any room, from traditional hallways to contemporary open-plan kitchens.
Handcrafted Realism Meets Modern Engineering As part of the prestigious Karndean Art Select collection, the AP01 planks feature a highly realistic textured surface and bevelled edges. Each 228mm x 76mm individual plank is meticulously crafted to replicate the natural grain and knot details of real wood. However, unlike solid oak, this Karndean parquet oak is 100% waterproof and won’t swell, crack, or warp when exposed to moisture.
Built for a Lifetime of Use Engineered for the busiest of households, this floor features a heavy-duty 0.7mm wear layer and the proprietary K-Guard+ surface protection. This ensures your floor remains resistant to the scuffs, stains, and scratches of daily life. Whether you are looking for a pet-friendly solution or a kid-safe surface, the AP01 delivers a quiet, comfortable underfoot experience that is fully compatible with underfloor heating systems (up to 27°C).
Key Features & Benefits:

Delivery Info
Laminate
Laminate is delivered by our postcode service. Larger orders are delivered by a pallet network and a day of choice can be selected.
Our courier only deliver ground floor due to the nature of our products. The ideal location is a garage or outbuilding but where this isn’t possible, the item needs to be able to be positioned through a doorway. Bear in mind carpets come as rolls and the size of the product is basically, the width of the carpet you’ve ordered. For example, if you order a 5m wide carpet, its rolled and arrives as a 5m long parcel that needs space to be able to fit.
