Product Description
Timeless Elegance: Transform Your Space with Art Select Ionic Marble
If you are looking to infuse your home with the soft, opulent glow of a Mediterranean villa, Art Select Ionic Marble by Karndean is the ultimate foundation. This premium 3mm thick LVT is a masterclass in realistic design, capturing the delicate veining and creamy depth of natural stone with a stunning beige colour tile effect. Unlike real marble, which can be prone to staining, requires constant sealing, and feels icy underfoot, Ionic Marble offers a warm, resilient, and forgiving surface. It provides that high-end, classic aesthetic while standing up to the demands of a modern Irish household.
The Art Select Advantage: Unrivalled Design Flexibility
The Art Select collection is widely considered the pinnacle of Karndean flooring, specifically engineered to replicate natural materials with breathtaking accuracy. Because Ionic Marble is a permanent glue-down LVT, it offers a level of structural stability and creative freedom that standard “click” or Camaro systems 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 tiles with Karndean feature strips to create a realistic “grout line” in subtle tones like chalk or silver, highlighting the geometric precision of each tile.
-
Bespoke Borders: Define your kitchen island, fireplace, or entrance hallway with a decorative border to add a tailored, professional finish.
-
Versatile Orientations: These tiles can be fitted in multiple directions—from a formal grid to a dynamic diagonal layout—allowing you to manipulate the sense of light and space within your room.
Engineered for High-Performance Irish Living
Ionic Marble isn’t just a visual masterpiece; it is a technical powerhouse built for the realities of modern life.
-
100% Waterproof: Like all our premium Karndean products, this floor is entirely impervious to moisture, making it the premier choice for bathrooms, kitchens, and wet rooms.
-
Installation Excellence: For a lifelong result, 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.
-
Thermal Comfort: It is fully compatible with underfloor heating systems, ensuring your home stays snug and warm during those damp Irish winters.

Ask a Question
1. Does the light beige colour of Ionic Marble show dirt easily? Actually, the natural marble-effect veining and subtle tonal shifts are incredibly practical. Unlike a flat, solid-coloured tile, the intricate patterns in Ionic Marble help to diffuse light and mask light dust. Combined with Karndean’s protective K-Guard+ surface technology, a simple damp mop is all you need to keep it looking pristine.
2. Why is the 0.7mm wear layer significant for this floor? The Art Select range features a heavy-duty 0.7mm wear layer on a 3mm thickness. This is significantly thicker than many standard LVT products, providing superior protection against scuffs, stains, and indentations—making it the ideal choice for high-traffic areas like hallways and busy family kitchens.
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 sometimes associated with floating floors, provides better thermal conductivity for underfloor heating, and allows for much more intricate design layouts using borders and strips that are impossible with click systems.
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.
