Wood Look Plank Flooring from Karndean Designflooring
 Van Gogh - Charred Oak
KARNDEAN DESIGNFLOORING ADDS TWELVE ON-TREND WOOD DESIGNS TO ITS POPULAR VAN GOGH COLLECTION
Australasia's market leader in luxury vinyl flooring Karndean Designflooring is expanding its popular Van Gogh Wood collection, available from July 2015.
For centuries, wood has been the base material for furniture, cabinetry, flooring and other construction projects. Over time, natural wood undergoes a number of processes as it ages, and following trends seen in fashion and interiors, product designers are now looking to introduce these aging processes to new woods to give them a rustic, reclaimed and repurposed look.
Following this trend, our twelve new Van Gogh wood look planks replicate the unique look that comes from this transformation of wood over time through burning, liming and smoking.
The collection includes four lightly lime-washed Oak looks, VGW91T Tawny Oak, VGW92T Burgundy Oak, VGW93T Hessian Oak and VGW94T Honey Oak. Reminiscent of salvaged antique flooring, the rich grain details and its large scaled planks (48"x 7") complement both traditional and contemporary architecture, and the larger size means reduced downtime and installation costs.
The collection also includes three unique designs inspired by American Redwood railway sleepers - VGW99T Reclaimed Redwood, VGW100T Aged Redwood and VGW101T Salvaged Redwood.

Running with the theme of reclaimed woods, our product designers were drawn to the unique detail and texture of the Redwood ties, which over the years had aged beautifully. Introducing wire brushing and etching techniques, we took the natural aging process one step further with these three designs, giving our American Redwood designs the look of repurposed timber without the practical drawbacks of real wood such as splintering, cracking and warping.
A perfect foundation for any commercial environment, the new collection also includes three rich brown, smoked designs. Incorporating fuming and smoking techniques that have been used by timber flooring manufacturers for years, the rich brown tones of our VGW97T Burnished Beech and VGW98T Smoked Beech planks can be used as a canvas - creating a rich and warming foundation to accompany nearly any décor scheme, whilst the striking variation of VGW102T Charred Oak makes more of a statement.
The new collection is rounded off by two of our most unique plank designs to date, VGW95T Lime-washed Cypress and VGW96T Burnished Cypress. Combining the limed finish of Honey Oak and the burnt effect of Charred Oak, these two designs are some of the most detailed and unique in our entire collection. By combining liming and smoking techniques, the result is a more refined and sophisticated aesthetic that's perfect for any commercial space where you're looking to introduce a highly realistic, rustic feel.
"Our new Van Gogh designs are our boldest to date. They are a welcome addition and reflect the trends we're seeing for authentic and textured interiors for commercial applications," commented Alex Stock, Head of Commercial Sales at Karndean Designflooring.
"The collection is not only design-led, but also retains all the durability, ease of maintenance and 100% stock availability our customers have come to rely on."
Available with a recently extended 15 year commercial warranty and R10 slip ratings, the complete Karndean Van Gogh collection will now feature a total of 32 wood designs.
