From Design to Function, Everything Clicks with Korlok Select Stones

SHOWIN’ OUR STUFF From Karndean Designflooring

After introducing the Korlok Select waterproof rigid core range three years ago, Karndean Designflooring is adding 17 new stones to the award-winning line, offering original Karndean visuals in an alternative to ceramic and porcelain tile that is quicker and easier to install.

Known for traveling the world in search of expressive and intriguing natural forms to inspire its product designs, Karndean Designflooring new stone visuals include antique French cotta, Italian Calacatta marble, Australian slate, English limestone and Moorish-inspired stenciled tiles.

Antique French Cotta

Unlike the bold, earthen-baked look of Spanish adobe cotta, the Korlok Select cotta design was inspired by a northern European reclaimed cotta. The understated character of these faded and more neutral tiles will instantly add history to a home.

Aged Parchment

Italian Marble

Sourced from the Apuan Alps and renowned for its striking beauty, Calacatta marble has graced palaces and cathedrals throughout Italy. Both limited and rare in its natural form, this highly desired look is available in two sizes: 18" × 24" tiles and 6" × 24" herringbone format.

Brunella Marble, available 18" × 24" tiles and a 6" × 24" herringbone format, allows added design flexibility.

Coastal Fog

Slate

Developed from hand-selected pieces of natural slate that lined the steps of the former Australian Parliament building in Melbourne, these tiles feature deep veining and clefting marks for an authentic slate appearance.

Limestone

With the intent of creating neutral, understated stone design, we looked to limestone as a source canvas. After lightly sandblasting gray English limestone to expose the face, it was acid-etched and evenly colored before undergoing a “satino” process to add a smooth, satin-like feel to the product.

Limeston Metro Grey

Stencil

Stenciling has been used throughout interior design for centuries. By experimenting with stenciling and color, Karndean transformed a plain limestone into a unique flooring design. The suggested Moorish patterning within the visual lends time-worn appeal.

Easy-to-Clean InteGrout™ Eliminates Grouting Process Entirely

Original visuals are not the only aspect of Korlok Select that is unique to Karndean Designflooring. Except for the two stenciled visuals, each product features InteGrout™, nonporous and color-coordinated grouting that is seamlessly attached to the product.

Nonporous and color-coordinated InteGrout™ eliminates the hassle of scrubbing typical grout.

InteGrout™ greatly reduces time spent on the job by eliminating the messy and consuming grouting process entirely. Unlike products with painted bevels, InteGrout™ does not harbor dirt or bacteria and easily wipes clean. InteGrout™ offers an easy to clean selling point to any homeowner who loves the look of ceramic without the hassle of scrubbing typical grout. With Korlok Select, homeowners can simply wipe tiles clean or mop with a pH neutral cleaner.

Korlok Select with InteGrout™ is backed by the HoldFast® Lifetime Residential Warranty.

Designed to Perform

Like Korlok Select woods, the new stones are equipped with a 5G® fold-down locking mechanism whose performance is guaranteed by the HoldFast® Lifetime Residential Warranty, along with waterproof K-Core® technology that allows for fast installation over most existing hard floors.

A pre-attached, closed-cell acoustic foam backing reduces noise transfer to the level below by 22dB and does not pool water or encourage mold, mildew or bacterial growth. Like all Karndean floors, Korlok Select is finished with K-Guard+® surface protection to provide a hygienic, durable and easy to clean finish. ❚
