Product Description
Timeless Radiance: Discover Golden Artisan Oak
If you are looking to infuse your home with the glowing warmth of traditional timber but require the uncompromising durability of modern technology, Art Select Golden Artisan Oak by Karndean is the ultimate choice. This premium 3mm thick LVT is a masterpiece of design, capturing the intricate grain patterns, knots, and honeyed tones of hand-finished oak. Unlike real wood, which can be susceptible to moisture and scratching, this golden oak floor provides a robust, life-proof surface that radiates luxury and comfort in any Irish interior.
The Art Select Advantage: Your Bespoke Design Canvas
The Art Select collection is widely regarded as the pinnacle of Karndean flooring, designed to replicate natural materials with staggering accuracy. Because Golden Artisan Oak is a permanent glue-down LVT, it offers a level of creative freedom that standard “click” floors simply cannot match. At Floorstore Direct, we specialise in helping our customers explore the extensive design options this range provides:
-
Custom Inlays: You can choose to install these planks with Karndean feature strips to create a “ship-deck” effect or use borders to define a dining area or hallway.
-
Multi-Directional Fitting: This floor can be fitted in multiple directions—whether you prefer a traditional straight lay, a diagonal orientation to make a room feel wider, or a bespoke pattern that leads the eye through your home.
-
Seamless Transitions: As a glue-down product, it allows for a flush finish against hearths and skirting boards, providing a high-end, architectural look that feels like a permanent part of the building.
Engineered for High-Performance Irish Living
Golden Artisan Oak is more than just a visual triumph; it is a technical powerhouse. As a 100% waterproof floor, it is the premier practical solution for moisture-heavy areas like kitchens, bathrooms, and utility rooms where real timber would inevitably warp.
To achieve a flawless, professional result, the installation process is critical. This floor must be adhered to a subfloor that is perfectly level, smooth, and entirely free from moisture before the adhesive is applied. This permanent bond provides superior structural stability and a quiet, solid feel underfoot. Furthermore, it is fully compatible with underfloor heating systems, ensuring your home stays snug and warm during those damp Irish winters.

Ask a Question
1. What makes the Art Select range different from other Karndean floors? Art Select is Karndean’s most realistic and durable range. It features a 3mm gauge and a heavy-duty 0.7mm wear layer, which is significantly thicker than standard LVT. This provides superior protection against scuffs and indentations while allowing for deep, authentic embossing that looks and feels like real hand-scraped oak.
2. Why is subfloor moisture testing so critical for a glue-down installation? Because the planks are adhered directly to the subfloor, any residual moisture in a concrete screed can trap vapour, preventing the adhesive from bonding correctly. At Floorstore Direct, we always recommend a professional moisture test to ensure your floor stays perfectly flat and secure for decades.
3. Is Golden Artisan Oak easy to maintain with pets and children? Absolutely. While it looks like delicate, polished timber, it is treated with Karndean’s K-Guard+ surface technology. It is highly resistant to spills, stains, and pet claws. A simple sweep and an occasional damp mop are all you need to keep that golden radiance looking brand new.
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.
