Gluedown designs
Our gluedown designs offer our widest choice of colours and include features like textured emboss or premium handscraped finish, as well as wide bevels and flat edges. The flexibility in the way our gluedown planks and tiles have been made means that they can be cut into bespoke shapes or laying patterns to create a custom look.
Abstract designs
Discover our pre-set abstract patterns in our Kaleidoscope and Heritage Collection. Combine shapes, tone, textures and patterns to create something that is completely unique or use our bespoke cutting service to create a customised flooring design that can be used to identify different zones or areas within large communal settings or be used to reflect the building’s heritage that is both cohesive and practical.
Loose lay designs
Explore our loose lay collection for time-saving fitting options. Quick to fit, our LooseLay range can be installed over most existing hard floors and comes in a larger format option great for time sensitive refurbishment projects. See our LooseLay wood, stone and LooseLay Longboard designs.
Rigid core designs
Eliminating the need for adhesive, our Van Gogh rigid core designs come with a pre-attached foam backing, reducing sub-floor prep whilst helping to absorb sound transferring to rooms below by up to 21dB – ideal for apartments and upstairs rooms.
Van Gogh multi-format
Introducing our Van Gogh multi-format collection. Previously a gluedown only range, we’ve taken 16 existing gluedown colours and four herringbone designs and made them available in a rigid core and gluedown format to provide installation flexibility as well as the option to continue your chosen design throughout the space and at multi-level.
