The UK’s market leader in luxury vinyl flooring, Karndean Designflooring, is introducing its next generation of rigid core flooring.

The new Korlok Regent collection combines all the natural beauty and textural detail of oak flooring with the latest cutting edge luxury vinyl tile (LVT) technology. Featuring a highly authentic wood grain emboss, this premium rigid core collection introduces the most realistic alternative to real wood or engineered wood on the market.

This elegant collection of six decadent designs presents desirable neutral tones to suit contemporary interior trends, from cool greys and softly neutral beige tones to timeless warm chocolate browns. For the ultimate flexibility to create interest with a combination of laying patterns in a single colourway, each design is available in a choice of four formats: long plank, herringbone, chevron and large chevron.

Likely to find favour in premium commercial settings, from high-end residential and hospitality to flagship retail and co-working spaces, the Korlok Regent collection takes rigid core flooring to the next level with the perfect combination of form and function.

The Korlok Regent range includes six beautifully crafted oak designs in 24 style variations.

Named in honour of London’s most iconic parks and gardens, which have delighted visitors for centuries with their inspirational serenity, this new collection is guaranteed to inject personality into any interior, from the calming cool greys and subtle pink hues of Stanmore Oak that will add textural depth to a monochrome interior, and the organic resimercial mood of Greenwich Oak with its softly neutral beige tones and blonde highlights, to the sophisticated earthy chocolate browns of Richmond Oak ideal for balancing bold colour palettes.
