Frequently Asked Questions
What is the wear layer and thickness of Karndean Art Select?
Art Select is 3.0mm thick with a 0.7mm wear layer, the thickest wear layer in the Karndean range. That extra surface protection is what makes it Karndean's premium residential glue-down collection.
Is Karndean Art Select waterproof?
Yes. Like all of Karndean's own ranges, Art Select is 100% waterproof, so it suits kitchens, bathrooms and hallways. As a glue-down floor it should still be installed to Karndean's guidance for wet areas.
Does Art Select come in herringbone and parquet?
Yes. Art Select is Karndean's go-to range for parquet and herringbone layouts, alongside large plank formats. The Design Strip system also lets you add borders and feature inlays for a bespoke finish.
What warranty comes with Karndean Art Select?
Art Select carries Karndean's transferable lifetime warranty, a 35-year residential guarantee, when bought and installed through a Karndean Approved Retailer such as Grosvenor Flooring. The warranty can be passed on if you sell your home.
What makes Karndean Art Select look so realistic?
Art Select uses high-definition design layers, deep embossing and bevelled edges to mimic real wood and stone. The thicker 0.7mm wear layer and glue-down installation give a flat, solid floor that looks and feels close to the natural material it replicates.
Is Karndean Art Select suitable for commercial areas?
Art Select is designed as a premium residential floor and is well suited to demanding home settings such as busy family kitchens and hallways. For heavy commercial traffic, a purpose-made commercial floor is a better fit and we can advise on the right specification when you request a price.
Why is professional installation important for Art Select?
As a glue-down floor, Art Select needs a smooth, level, clean and dry subfloor and the correct Karndean adhesives to perform and to keep the warranty valid. Parquet and herringbone layouts in particular reward experienced fitting, which is why Karndean ties its warranty to installation by an approved retailer.
