    Van gogh is the better range out of karndean in my opinion

    I'm looking for something that has at least 0.55mm wear layer and would like it to have woodgrain in it, but not standard crap, more wavey, real looking, in need's to be a light color(light oak) and ideally without bevels but it's not the end of the world if it has everything else..
    Are there any other companies that do something close to the van gogh range?

    The guy done the feather finish and sanded it again, looks a lot better now. I'm in between 2 Karndeans, Opus Cera WP314 and Art Select Spring Oak RL01. What do you guys think?

    The problem that I have is that it looks plasticky when light bounces of it and what I like about it is that it has a special feel to it.
    I like the opus cera because of the colour but I like the texture of the AS

    VG French Oak is popular.., also one of my preferred ranges.
    Similar to the Art Select, but a fair bit cheaper.

    Out the 2 id be going for the art selct, looks and feels better and has the bevel.
    You need to have a look through the VG range. Me personally prefer a bevel on Big planks though. I get where you coming from with the plasticy look of the opus though.

    I hate the opus tile effect and their horrendous strips that they recommend that go with it :mad: dont use the opus strips anymore if I have to fit it. I go with the normal grout strip. So much better fit

    Nothing wrong with opus ? I fit tons of it
    If you don't like the 2.5mm strips with the micro bevel use 2mm strips and gives the tiles a quick extra bevel when your finished
    Looks really effective when the light catches the edges Adds a bit of pizazz

    Looks great when all the tiles step out. Unless you have time to cut them all back. There not cut square or straight and the grout is just the poorest example of a flooring product ever made. Plastic shite.
