Introducing Korlok Stone

We are excited to announce that we have added 12 new 457mm x 600mm x 6.5mm thick stone designs to our popular Korlok rigid core range. These now allow you to select stone look options in our quick and easy to install rigid core format.

Korlok stone is a hybrid floating floor option that clicks into place using our 5G® click-locking mechanism without the use of adhesive. This range has built-in acoustic underlay making it our most suitable flooring for use in multi-floor apartment buildings, due to the little to no sound it creates. You are able to achieve this without the need for a separate acoustic underlay. Explore all of the benefits of rigid core.

An ideal alternative to laminate and original stone flooring, Korlok stone offers quick and easy installation while also being able to hide subfloor imperfections and installed over most existing hard surfaces. It has the durability and waterproof qualities of luxury vinyl including an impressive R10 slip resistance rating. This can all be achieved thanks to its innovative K-Core Technology.

Five of our new designs come with a seamlessly attached InteGrout™. Karndean InteGrout™ is unlike typically textured grout, it is smooth and nonporous. Our designs will neither harbour dirt and bacteria, nor crack with seasonal temperature fluctuations.

Backed by our 15-year heavy-duty commercial warranty, rest assured that just one click locks your tiles for life. With our click-locking system and enhanced core technology, this means you can achieve an authentic and luxurious Karndean floor in any space with minimal subfloor preparation.

We have also created 12 new colour coordinated accessories that are now available for our Korlok stone range to add that perfect finishing touch to your space.

As with all of our luxury vinyl products, we have taken inspiration from the natural world around us to bring you these 12 new beautiful flooring designs that your clients will love for a lifetime.

Concrete

The popularity and appeal of using concrete as a key theme for interior finishes have soared over recent years and has become the perfect canvas for industrial-inspired contemporary design. ‘The Concrete Look’ is no longer viewed as something grey and dull. It has evolved into a clean contemporary style that features depth and character. Our designers experimented with different colouring techniques to transform the classic, neutral design into an incredibly versatile, contemporary set of concrete-look tiles. Each colour variation highlights different features contained within the design, and the tonal shift within the individual tiles creates a visually appealing palette. The result is an attractive product that adds a new warmth and elegance to a solid industrial material, making it appealing for both commercial and residential applications.

Limestone

Recognising the trend for tiles with neutral, understated colour tones, our product designers chose a batch of subtle limestone to work from. They put the stone through an etching process, sandblasting is to create a ‘bleached’ effect, which exposed the raw colour of the underlying material. The design team then implemented a ‘satino’ process, which results in an aesthetic that is smooth and has a satin-like feel to the final product. The porous nature of limestone gives it great staining capabilities, allowing degrees of re-colouration that are impossible with most other types of stone. The original grey limestone was used to produce further shades of black and white, as well as a light sandy colour reminiscent of the traditional stone found in the Cotswolds, UK and recognised the world over. The final set of colours offer a broad palette, suitable for any interior.

Terrazzo

Terrazzo originated in Italy where quarry workers used stone offcuts in their own homes. Although around for centuries, terrazzo is currently enjoying a resurgence in both residential and commercial areas. Traditional colourful terrazzo looks are being seen alongside more modern looks with tone on tone tiles, suiting the ongoing preference for a more neutral floor design. The original slabs that our designers sourced had quite a busy pattern and contrasting colour chips. In order to hit the combined concrete and terrazzo trend, they removed the coloured chips, as well as any very dark chips, to then insert a concrete backdrop that would be visible. The aim was to provide a more neutral look, allowing the tone to be the biggest attribute while leaving the terrazzo features visible, but not as dominating as in the original stone.

Italian Marble

Calacatta marble has long been recognised around the world for its striking beauty and was allegedly Michelangelo’s favourite stone to carve from. It originates from one single source: a mountainous area of Italy known as the Apuan Alps, making the original product both limited and expensive. Calacatta has two essential features: a pure white background and clear, bold veining*. These make it unique in the world of marble and our design team have spent over a year developing our first Calacatta design to ensure that our recreation of this beautiful stone, in an LVT format, reflects the original’s quality and aesthetic. Our Palazzo Marble design features the classic grey veining that graces palaces and cathedrals throughout Italy and is a truly cool classic that oozes elegance.
