Karndean Knight Tile Collections
The Knight Tile Vinyl Flooring collection by Karndean is a long standing collection that had been one of Karndean’s top sell products. The collections has been updated constantly to meet the latest consumer trends and preferences. The latest Knight Tile Quiet which focus on the acoustic performance has also been a highlight product in the Knight Tile Collections.
Karndean’s core proposition centers on delivering “Floors for Living” through five key differentiators that balance luxury aesthetics with everyday practicality.
🌍 Globally Inspired, Locally Crafted
Karndean sources inspiration from nature’s finest materials worldwide and expertly recreates them for residential use. The company’s design team travels globally seeking authentic wood and stone specimens, which are then meticulously replicated using advanced technology to capture intricate grain patterns, veining, and color variations that mirror natural originals.
✨ Artisanal Details in Every Plank
Each design features handcrafted embosses and striking bevelled edges that create authentic texture and visual depth. The natural wood grain emboss technology follows actual grain patterns, allowing customers to both see and feel the realistic texture—a hallmark of Karndean’s premium positioning.
💪 Proven Durability
Luxury vinyl construction provides resilience in extreme conditions without the maintenance demands of natural materials. The flooring withstands daily wear, impact, moisture, and temperature fluctuations while maintaining its appearance indefinitely.
🛡️ Lifetime Warranty
All residential floors come with a 35-year warranty, reflecting Karndean’s confidence in product longevity. This warranty underscores the brand’s commitment to customer satisfaction and represents exceptional value in the flooring market.
♻️ Sustainable Choice
Karndean is accredited by SEDEX for ethical and sustainable manufacturing, addressing environmental and social responsibility concerns for conscious consumers.
