Heavily influenced by the trend towards reclaimed and repurposed materials in architecture and interior design, the 36" x 3" distressed look planks replicate the unique look that comes from the transformation of wood over time.

The twelve new planks are split into two groups — the first group is made up of seven designs, including four modern limed oak planks and three classic oak looks, whilst the second group features three burnt and smoked designs alongside two worn, aged driftwood looks. Inspired by natural fibres and textiles, the soft muted tones of the four Limed Oak designs are enhanced with a striking lime washed finish, accentuating the unique grain details of each plank.

For a more traditional and clean-lined style, specifiers should look to the three classic oak planks, available in three shades of light to mid-brown oak. With subtle colour variation plank to plank, these products create a more uniform finish in comparison to some of the 'choppier', more variable designs, making them the perfect match for any space or décor.

With striking colour variation from plank to plank, the two new Acacia designs and Scorched Oak have been designed to replicate the look of burnt oak. Acacia woods are known for their subtle appearance and blending of even rich tones, epitomising the uniqueness of this species. Whilst the acacia designs feature gentle variation, Scorched Oak can be described as a statement floor with its almost tiger-like grain and colour variation.

The other two designs in this group mimic the gentle, sea salt worn features of reclaimed driftwood. The combination of saltwater, high winds and shipworms means that the natural tannins and nutrients are mostly drained from the wood before it's found on shore as a partially decomposed driftwood wood full of unique character — all of which Karndean has been able to capture in their Coastal Driftwood and Beach Driftwood planks. With an option of two soft grey-brown tones, these distinctive rustic designs give specifiers the natural look of reclaimed timber without the practical drawbacks of real wood such as cracking, splintering or warping.

With the slim line planks ensuring that even the smallest of spaces can be enhanced and in larger areas designers can create an impact, the design possibilities with this new collection truly are endless.
