Karndean Designflooring Adds to Art Select Woods Collection

Full of charm and character, new visuals within the Art Select Wood gluedown LVT range allow flooring retailers and homeowners to bring the beauty of real wood to life in their projects. Designed with hand-carved embosses and distinctive beveled edges, each plank is crafted to enhance the unique grains, knots and textures of the woods that inspired them, some of which are no longer available or are cost-prohibitive in their natural state. New visuals in this collection were developed from Reclaimed Hickory, American Chestnut and European Oaks, with the Reclaimed Hickory designs featuring a new emboss exclusive to Karndean Designflooring.

Developed from boards recovered at a Midwest lumber yard, the stark color contrast of Reclaimed Hickory between the "heartwood" and sapwood is the result of over a century of growth, exposing a beauty only visible with age. These logs were sawn with a wide circular blade, inspiring a new emboss which gives planks a subtle cross-sawn appearance and texture.
