Karndean Commercial Launches Knight Tile Curio, Bringing Joy to Geometric Flooring

Karndean Commercial, the UK’s trusted supplier of luxury vinyl flooring, is set to launch a considered edit of geometric tiles with Knight Tile Curio and Empire Marble chequerboard, inviting play and self-expression whilst delivering bold visual impact.

A new Knight Tile Curio collection has been built around a single, intelligently designed geometric tile which can be used to create endless configurations simply through rotation and repetition. The result is a versatile design that balances structure with spontaneity, empowering designers to create spaces that feel both intentional and individual.

Designed to support the growing demand for human-centric interiors that evoke positive emotions, Knight Tile Curio introduces purposeful colour, pattern and movement to both commercial and residential environments. Through creativity and tessellation, designers can create dynamic flooring schemes that deliver maximum visual impact with minimal complexity.

Richard Allen, VP of commercial sales at Karndean Commercial, said: “Knight Tile Curio offers joyful design with convenient styling flexibility, presenting boundless possibilities using a single tessellating tile.

“Supporting the latest inspiring and engaging trends, designers can create abstract forms that inject plenty of personality, introduce energy and rhythm, and enhance mood. With just one intelligently designed tile that can be used to create countless distinct laying patterns, Knight Tile Curio unlocks creative freedom, enabling designers to achieve expressive interiors with confidence.”

Designed to make bold flooring concepts more accessible, Knight Tile Curio enables designers to create bespoke interiors without the effort, cost or installation challenges typically associated with intricate flooring schemes. The 9” x 9” tile features a minimalist geometric design on a soft off-white background and is available in four distinctive contemporary colourways: Sage, Navy, Graphite and Terracotta.

Thanks to its considered geometry, each tile can be arranged in multiple orientations to create a wide variety of patterns through a simple process of rotation and repetition. In this way, an individual style can be achieved without the need for additional shapes, time consuming design planning or custom cuts.

Traditionally, bespoke patterned flooring designs often require bespoke manufacturing or complicated cutting on site, increasing both material waste and installation complexity. By contrast, Curio’s single-tile system eliminates this, minimising the risk of installation errors and streamlining the fitting process.

Specification is equally straightforward. With a single SKU for each colourway, ordering complexity is reduced. Additionally, each design is held in stock, removing the lead times often associated with bespoke flooring solutions and giving designers the flexibility to adapt layouts and patterns later in the project without adversely affecting schedules or costs.

The Knight Tile collection also welcomes a new Empire Marble chequerboard design. With the enduring appeal of classic chequerboard patterns showing no signs of fading, this fresh monochrome black and white interpretation offers a desirable graphic clarity and character to contemporary interiors.

A familiar yet highly versatile layout, chequerboard flooring offers designers the opportunity to scale, frame or zone spaces according to the desired visual effect. Whether creating statement focal points or introducing subtle moments of contrast, Empire Marble delivers a timeless aesthetic that feels both elegant and contemporary.

For added convenience, Empire Marble is supplied with both colours contained within a single box, making specification, ordering and installation quick and streamlined.

Like all Knight Tile products, both Knight Tile Curio and Empire Marble combine creative design freedom with the trusted performance and durability expected from the Karndean brand.

Each tile is designed to work seamlessly across all tessellated layouts, supporting a wide range of pattern applications. At 2.5mm thick with a 0.3mm wear layer, the collection is built to withstand the demands of busy environments while maintaining its visual appeal.

The range also benefits from Karndean’s K-Guard+ surface protection system, providing a hygienic, durable finish that is easy to maintain. For added peace of mind, all Knight Tile designs are backed by up to a 10-year commercial and a lifetime residential product warranty.

Combining expressive design, purposeful colour and versatility, the new Knight Tile collection offers designers new ways to create memorable interiors that celebrate creativity, individuality and joy, while also offering outstanding practical benefits.
