As a foundational surface, flooring does more than meet the eye. It guides movement, supports safety compliance, and ties a whole space together. Karndean’s Opus range of luxury vinyl tiles (LVT) delivers on every front, pairing high-performance durability and slip resistance with a broad palette of wood and stone-inspired designs.
Designed for versatility, Opus offers 18 new wood and stone-look designs, including weathered oaks, refined marble, fresh limestones and terrazzo-inspired patterns. Its precision-milled glue down format allows for seamless integration into custom layouts, wayfinding and zoning strategies. This enables designers to define spatial flow and easily differentiate between zones. As a testament to its flexible design, Opus is a flooring solution that works equally well in retail, aged care, education, hospitality and multi-residential contexts.
“Opus has become a go-to for our commercial clients because it delivers the sweet spot between design flexibility, durability, and value. The brand’s longevity is testament to the performance it delivers. The addition of SR-rated options and large-format reflects our focus on evolving with the needs of architects and specifiers,” says John Monroe, Karndean’s Commercial Sales Manager.
The range offers P3 and enhanced P4 slip-rated options, ensuring compliance with the National Construction Code (NCC) requirements across higher-risk environments like aged care and healthcare. These ratings sit alongside a robust 0.55mm commercial wear layer, supporting long-term performance in high-traffic areas.
For retail or workplace settings, Salute Blanco’s terrazzo-inspired patterning injects playful energy and visual zoning into open-plan environments. For a more understated look, Steen Oak offers a neutral palette and organic grain that balances practicality with warmth.
Beyond its technical credentials, Opus reflects Karndean’s design ethos that draws inspiration from natural materials. Each surface is informed by extensive research, from visits to artisan workshops to quarry sites, capturing nature’s irregularities and depth.
Whether it’s the coastal tones of Coastal Eucalypt or the sophisticated pairing of Vermeer Oak and Salute Blanco in a co-working environment, Opus offers a design language broad enough to function as a subtle canvas or a statement feature.
Sustainability also forms a core part of the collection’s value. Opus is GreenTag GreenRate Level A and LCARate Silver Plus certified and integrates into ResiLoop, Australia’s first industry-wide resilient flooring recycling initiative. This program addresses installation waste and drives circular economy outcomes locally. Through these initiatives, Opus aligns with the growing demand for environmentally responsible specification.
With its durability, low-maintenance finish and 15-year commercial warranty, Opus is suitable for even the most demanding commercial projects. Its immediate availability in P3 slip-rated designs, alongside indent-order P4 options, means specifiers can select flooring tailored precisely to their compliance and aesthetic needs.
For architects and designers seeking a single range that bridges safety, performance and design, Opus offers a compelling solution. Now available in a wider range of slip-rated formats, Opus is as purposeful as it is beautiful reinforcing Karndean’s ongoing investment in meeting the evolving needs of commercial interiors.
