A 9" x 9" tessellating luxury vinyl tile offered in four colours plus a new Empire Marble chequerboard aims to simplify pattern-led flooring for commercial and residential projects.
One tile, four colours: Knight Tile Curio uses a single 9" x 9" geometric tile (Sage, Navy, Graphite, Terracotta) that creates many patterns by rotation and repetition.
Specification and installation are simplified: single SKU per colour, stock-held product, 2.5mm overall thickness with 0.3mm wear layer, K-Guard+ surface protection and warranties (up to 10-year commercial, lifetime residential).
Empire Marble chequerboard introduced as a monochrome black-and-white option supplied with both colours in one box to streamline ordering and fitting.
Karndean Commercial has introduced Knight Tile Curio, a geometric luxury vinyl tile collection built around one intelligible tessellating tile. The tile measures 9" x 9" and carries a minimalist geometric motif on a soft off-white background. It is available in four colourways: Sage, Navy, Graphite and Terracotta.
Curio is aimed at designers who want pattern, colour and movement without the cost and complexity of bespoke flooring. By rotating and repeating the single tile, installers can create multiple distinct layouts—abstract forms, rhythmic repeats, or framed zones—without cutting extra shapes or changing materials. The collection targets both commercial and residential environments where human-centric, mood-forward interiors are desired.
The tiles are 2.5mm thick with a 0.3mm wear layer and include Karndean's K-Guard+ surface protection for hygiene and ease of maintenance. Karndean offers up to a 10-year commercial warranty and a lifetime residential warranty for Knight Tile products. Each colourway is a single SKU and is held in stock to reduce lead times and ordering complexity.
Because the system relies on one tessellating tile rather than multiple shapes, it reduces on-site cutting, material waste and the risk of installation errors. That simplifies fitting and can lower labour and material waste costs. The single-SKU approach also allows designers and project managers to adapt layouts later in a project without long lead times or extra procurement steps.
Alongside Curio, Karndean added an Empire Marble chequerboard in a black-and-white marble look. It follows the classic chequerboard layout and is supplied with both colours in the same box to streamline specification, ordering and installation. The chequerboard suits framing and zoning strategies where a strong graphic floor is needed.
Richard Allen, VP of commercial sales at Karndean Commercial, described Curio as offering "joyful design with convenient styling flexibility, presenting boundless possibilities using a single tessellating tile," and said it unlocks creative freedom while making expressive interiors achievable with confidence.
