Product Description
Dramatic Sophistication: Elevate Your Home with Lago Quartzite
If you are looking to make a bold architectural statement that combines raw, natural beauty with modern resilience, Art Select Lago Quartzite by Karndean is the ultimate choice. This premium 3mm thick LVT captures the deep, mysterious allure of genuine quarried stone, featuring a striking black tile effect that radiates luxury. Unlike real stone, which can be cold underfoot and prone to cracking, Lago Quartzite offers a warmer, more comfortable surface while retaining the intricate textures and tonal shifts of authentic rock. It is the perfect foundation for those looking to bring a high-end, gallery-style aesthetic to their Irish home.
The Art Select Advantage: Unrivalled Design Flexibility
The Art Select range is widely regarded as the pinnacle of Karndean flooring, designed to replicate natural materials with staggering accuracy. Because Lago Quartzite is a permanent glue-down LVT, it serves as a creative canvas for homeowners and designers alike. 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 contrasting silver or charcoal, or lay them edge-to-edge for a sleek, seamless obsidian look.
-
Bespoke Borders: Define your kitchen island or hallway perimeter with a decorative border to add a tailored, premium 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 space and light within your room.
Engineered for High-Performance Irish Living
Lago Quartzite is not just a visual masterpiece; it is a technical powerhouse. As a 100% waterproof floor, it is the premier practical solution for moisture-heavy areas like bathrooms, wet rooms, and busy kitchens.
To achieve a flawless, professional result, the installation process is vital. 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. Does a black tile effect floor show up dust and footprints easily? Lago Quartzite is designed with the natural "shale" texture of real stone, which includes subtle tonal variations. This clever detailing helps to mask light dust and footprints much more effectively than a solid, flat black surface. 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 3mm thickness significant for this Karndean range? The 3mm gauge of the Art Select range represents Karndean’s most robust construction. It features a heavy-duty 0.7mm wear layer, making it significantly more resistant to indentation and scratches than standard 2mm LVT products. It is the ideal choice for high-traffic areas and homes with pets or heavy furniture.
3. Is Lago Quartzite suitable for a bathroom with high humidity? Absolutely. Because it is a 100% waterproof glue-down product, there are no "clicks" or gaps for water to seep into. When installed on a correctly prepared subfloor with the recommended adhesive, it provides a hygienic, moisture-resistant surface that is far more practical and easier to clean than traditional stone tiles.
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.
