Product Description
The Masterpiece of Waterproof Luxury: Artureon Subtle
Elevate your home with a floor that bridges the gap between the organic warmth of timber and the indestructible nature of stone. The Artureon Subtle (D40451) from Krono Swiss is a design triumph, featuring a soft, natural oak palette that brings an immediate sense of heritage and calm to any interior. At Floorstore Direct, we have built our reputation as the best place in Ireland to buy laminate flooring by offering world-first technologies that solve the age-old problems of moisture and wear.
The “Subtle” decor is defined by its sophisticated, multi-tonal grain, capturing the essence of slow-grown European oak. Whether you are aiming for a classic country house aesthetic or a contemporary urban look, these grand long and wide planks ( mm) provide a grand, seamless finish that makes any room feel exponentially more spacious and grounded.
100% Waterproof Innovation: The Resin-Encapsulated Core
The true secret of Krono Swiss flooring lies beneath its beautiful surface. While standard laminates are often marketed as “water-resistant,” Artureon Subtle is 100% waterproof. This is achieved through a revolutionary Swiss process where every individual wood fibre in the 12mm core is encapsulated in a high-performance natural resin.
- Total Moisture Immunity: Perfectly suited for “wet zones” like luxury bathrooms, kitchens, and entryways, this floor will not swell, warp, or peak at the edges when exposed to standing water.
- AC5 / Class 33 Durability: This is a commercial-grade floor designed for the home. It is virtually immune to the micro-scratches from active pets, high-traffic footfall, and the sliding of heavy furniture.
-
XXL Format: The oversized planks mean fewer joins, creating a high-end architectural look that is much easier to maintain than standard-sized boards.

Ask a Question
1. Does a 100% waterproof resin core make the floor feel cold like tile? Not at all. Despite its "stone-hard" durability, the core is still made of wood fibres. It retains the natural thermal insulation of timber, meaning it feels warmer underfoot than stone or ceramic. It is also fully compatible with underfloor heating, providing a TOG rating of roughly 0.89 for excellent heat transfer.
3. Is the "Subtle" finish difficult to keep clean in high-traffic areas? Actually, it’s one of the easiest. The soft, natural oak grain and matte finish are specifically designed to hide dust and micro-scratches better than high-gloss or darker floors. Combined with its AC5 rating, a simple damp mop is all that is required to keep its bright tones looking brand new for decades.
Recommended Underlay
The underlay you choose for your new floor can be just as important as the floor itself as this is what will determine the feel and noise level under your foot. Furthermore if you have underfloor heating, the underlay you choose will determine the level of heat conductivity with some underlays allowing for a quicker heat transfer than others. Because of this, getting the right underlay is hugely important. You can view our entire underlay collection 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 Krono Swiss laminate flooring is pretty much the same as with all Laminate 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.
