Product Description
Urban Sophistication: Discover Art Select Naturale Ceppo
If you are looking to embrace the raw, industrial beauty of contemporary Mediterranean architecture, Art Select Naturale Ceppo by Karndean is the ultimate foundation for your home. This premium 3mm thick LVT captures the intricate, multi-tonal aggregate detail of traditional Italian stone with a stunning grey concrete tile effect. It offers an effortlessly chic, “lofty” aesthetic that radiates modern luxury. Unlike real concrete or stone, which can be prone to cracking and feels cold underfoot, Naturale Ceppo provides a warmer, more resilient surface while retaining the sophisticated textures of polished mineral rock. It is the perfect choice for those seeking a sleek, high-end finish for their Irish interior.
The Art Select Advantage: Bespoke Design Flexibility
The Art Select collection is widely considered the pinnacle of Karndean flooring, designed to replicate natural materials with breathtaking accuracy. Because Naturale Ceppo is a permanent glue-down LVT, it serves as a versatile canvas for homeowners. 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 dark grey, or lay them edge-to-edge for a seamless, minimalist concrete look.
-
Bespoke Borders: Define your kitchen island or hallway perimeter with a decorative border to add a tailored, professional finish.
-
Versatile Orientations: These tiles can be fitted in multiple directions—from a traditional grid to a dynamic diagonal layout—allowing you to manipulate the sense of light and scale within your home.
Engineered for High-Performance Irish Living
Naturale Ceppo 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 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—unlike floating floors that can often “click.” 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 exactly is a "Ceppo" effect? Ceppo di Gré is a blue-grey volcanic rock quarried in Italy, known for its "conglomerate" appearance of embedded pebbles. Naturale Ceppo replicates this high-end concrete-and-stone hybrid look, giving you an architectural, industrial-chic finish that is much easier to maintain than the real porous stone.
2. Why is the 3mm thickness and 0.7mm wear layer significant? The 3mm gauge represents Karndean’s most robust construction. The heavy-duty 0.7mm wear layer provides superior protection against scuffs and indentations, making it far more durable than standard 2mm LVT products—perfect for high-traffic areas and busy family homes.
3. Is the subfloor preparation different for concrete-effect tiles? Because Naturale Ceppo is a glue-down product, the subfloor must be meticulously prepared. It needs to be "SR1" level and tested for moisture (below 75% RH). Our team at Floorstore Direct can advise on the correct screeds and primers to ensure your concrete-effect tiles look perfectly flat and authentic.
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.
