Technical Excellence: Karndean Art Select represents the pinnacle of luxury vinyl tile engineering. With a substantial 3.0mm total thickness and premium 0.7mm wear layer, Prairie Oak Herringbone delivers outstanding resilience against heavy foot traffic, furniture movement, and everyday wear. Unlike traditional oak parquet that requires careful acclimatization, professional installation by specialist craftspeople, regular oiling or waxing, and is susceptible to moisture damage, this innovative alternative offers all the visual warmth and architectural grandeur with none of the maintenance burden. Installation & Maintenance: The herringbone format opens up endless creative possibilities. Lay in traditional herringbone for classic elegance, or experiment with double herringbone, chevron-style arrangements, or mixed patterns combining with RL20 larger planks for personalized bespoke designs. Each box covers 3.345m² with 96 pieces, providing excellent coverage for herringbone installations. Compatible with underfloor heating systems up to 27°C, and requires only simple sweep and mop cleaning – no sanding, oiling, or specialist treatments needed. The individual piece format means damaged sections can be easily replaced without affecting the entire floor. Design Inspiration: Enhance your herringbone installation by incorporating Karndean Design Strips to create feature borders, frame specific areas, or delineate room zones. DS04, DS05, and DS06 wood-effect strips complement the warm brown tones beautifully, adding definition. Consider creating a herringbone "rug" effect in an open-plan space, bordered with design strips and surrounded by the matching RL20 planks in straight lay for a truly bespoke designer floor. The 18" x 3" format also pairs perfectly with Karndean's Quadrant borders for traditional period-style installations with contemporary practicality.
