The
UK’s market leader in luxury vinyl flooring Karndean Designflooring is
expanding its Opus collection with six new modern and contemporary designs
including three woods, three stones and two exclusive smaller ‘herringbone’
tile designs.
Designed
with a wide variety of commercial specifications in mind, Opus is most
recognised for its stylish selection of grey tones and extra-large plank (48” x
9”) and tile (18” x 24”) designs with a preferred 2.5mm thickness, 0.55mm wear
layer and enhanced R10 and R11 slip resistance ratings.
As
well as expanding its limed wood effect designs, Opus now presents mixed
material and limestone designs for the first time.
Combining
the natural characteristics of European Oak with a unique shuttered concrete
effect, Fabrica is thought provoking with its classic knots and cross-sawn
markings subtly displayed for added definition.
Ideal
for specifiers looking for a clean and sophisticated finish with distinctive
grain details, Columba and Avena are designed to offer a neutral limed palette
for commercial environments.
Joining
already popular grey and poured concrete stone designs, Opus welcomes – Fumo,
Argento and Lutum – as its new limestone offering. Interestingly, Karndean’s
in-house design team sourced the original piece of limestone whilst trekking
local quarries throughout England, and successfully created three individual
designs.
With
the growing trend to match designs ‘room to room’ or create divides in open
plan spaces, Opus introduces Fumo and Argento in a new 18” x 3” small tile
design. The new tile size can be perfectly placed alongside the matching 18” x
24” full stone tile and laid in a herringbone, brick or block design to create
a sense of direction or zone out individual areas.
“Our
Opus range is one of our leading commercial collections for architects,
interior designers and contractors looking for a high specification luxury
vinyl tile (LVT) wood or stone design,” explains Paul Barratt, managing
director of Karndean Designflooring.
He
said: “Being able to add a new dimension of intriguing designs to our Opus
collection will allow us to expand our offering to specifiers, giving extra
flexibility at the point of specification. The wide variation of wood and stone
designs and tones available mean there are options for all commercial spaces.
“Having
the opportunity to introduce our first smaller tile design in herringbone,
brick or block laying pattern against our matching full length plank adds a new
visual element to consider.”
With
a 15 year commercial guarantee, Karndean’s updated Opus collection now features
13 woods, 12 stones and two small tiles.
