Product Description
Ethereal Elegance: Transform Your Space with Dove Artisan Oak
If you are looking to achieve a serene, high-end aesthetic that captures the essence of coastal sophistication, Art Select Dove Artisan Oak by Karndean is the ultimate foundation. This premium 3mm thick LVT is a masterclass in realistic design, replicating the delicate, hand-finished texture of oak with a stunning dove grey colour. Its soft, muted tones and intricate grain formations provide a modern, airy feel that expands the visual space of any room. At Floorstore Direct, we know that Irish homeowners value both style and substance, and this floor offers the perfect balance of artisan beauty and 21st-century performance.
The Art Select Advantage: Bespoke Design at Your Fingertips
The Art Select range is widely regarded as the pinnacle of Karndean flooring, specifically engineered to mimic natural materials with breathtaking accuracy. Unlike standard Camaro or entry-level products, Dove Artisan Oak is a permanent glue-down LVT, providing a level of structural stability and creative freedom that is second to none. At Floorstore Direct, we help you turn your floor into a design statement with several customisable options:
-
Versatile Layouts: This floor can be fitted in multiple directions—choose a classic straight lay for a minimalist look, or a diagonal orientation to lead the eye through expansive hallways.
-
Decorative Finishing: As a “design option” floor, you can incorporate borders and feature strips. Add a silver strip for a subtle “ship-deck” effect or a dark charcoal border to frame your living area with professional precision.
-
Flush Finish: Because it is glued down, it can be fitted flush against skirting boards and hearths, eliminating the need for bulky expansion trims.
Technical Excellence for the Modern Irish Home
Dove Artisan Oak is not just a visual triumph; it is built to survive the realities of a busy household.
-
100% Waterproof: This floor is entirely impervious to moisture, making it the premier choice for kitchens, bathrooms, and laundry rooms where traditional timber would fail.
-
Installation Standards: For a lifelong finish, this floor must be glued down to a subfloor that is perfectly level, smooth, and entirely free from moisture. Proper preparation ensures a quiet, solid feel underfoot.
-
Underfloor Heating: Fully compatible with underfloor heating systems (up to 27°C), this LVT ensures your home remains snug and warm during the dampest Irish winters.

Ask a Question
1. Does the light dove grey colour show up dirt and marks easily? Quite the opposite. The "Artisan" finish features realistic knots and varied grain textures that are incredibly effective at diffusing light and masking light dust. Combined with Karndean’s protective K-Guard+ surface technology, it is exceptionally easy to maintain with a simple damp mop.
2. Why is the 3mm thickness and 0.7mm wear layer important? The 3mm gauge represents Karndean’s most robust construction. The heavy-duty 0.7mm wear layer provides superior protection against scuffs, stains, and indentations, making it far more durable than standard 2mm LVT products—ideal for high-traffic family homes.
3. Why must this floor be glued down rather than installed as a click system? A glue-down installation creates a permanent, monolithic bond with the subfloor. This eliminates the "hollow" sound of floating floors, offers better thermal conductivity for underfloor heating, and allows for much more intricate design layouts with borders and feature strips.
Recommend Adhesive
LVT can shrink, expand, or lift under pressure if not properly bonded. Uzin KE66 is the adhesive we recommend as it is a fibre reinforced adhesive, which means it holds the tile firmly in place, preventing movement even in high-traffic areas or when exposed to temperature fluctuations. Please note all subfloors must be 100% clean, dry and level before LVT installation. Check out our adhesives, levelling compounds and primers here.
Fitting Guidelines
In order for your new floor to perform to the best of its ability we advise using a skilled, professional fitter for the installation of your new floor. Prior to installation your floor must be checked to ensure it is level and free from moisture. Should there be any issues with this our levelling compounds and damp proof membranes are available here. It is vitally important, in particular with a floating floor that you do not fit any heavy objects (Such as fitted kitchens or islands) directly to the floor. An installation gap of 10-12mm must also be left around all 4 sides of the room including at doorways. Please refer to manufacturers guidelines for full installation instructions.
Cleaning & Maintenance Guide
The cleaning and maintenance of our Karndean Design Flooring is pretty much the same as with most Flooring. A sweep of a brush is all it should take to remove light dirt from your floor. For mopping, it is important you use a damp mop rather than a wet mop. If your floor is too wet, over time it may cause issues from water penetrating the joints. We advise the use of a PH neutral floor cleaner to ensure no damage to the floor. Also a spin mop or micro fibre mop should ensure the floor is not being overly wet.
