Van Gogh Frosted Stone RKT2401, a beautifully serene limestone-inspired stone tile from the Van Gogh Rigid Core collection. With its soft grey palette and gently frosted appearance, this design captures the timeless elegance of natural limestone flooring while delivering all the practical advantages of Karndean's mid-range rigid core technology. The subtle textural variations and cool, neutral tones create a sophisticated foundation that works beautifully across contemporary, minimalist, and Mediterranean-inspired interiors. Unlike real limestone that feels cold and hard underfoot, this rigid core format offers enhanced comfort, warmth, and acoustic performance thanks to its pre-attached foam backing. The 457mm x 600mm tile format (18\" x 24\") provides authentic stone proportions with the added convenience of DIY-friendly 5G click-lock installation—no adhesive, no professional fitter required. This design is also available in gluedown format for permanent installations, giving you flexibility across different areas of your home. As part of the Van Gogh Rigid Core collection, Frosted Stone combines distinctive design quality with the installation convenience and acoustic benefits that make it perfect for modern living, particularly in upstairs rooms, rental properties, and quick renovation projects.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"whitespace-normal break-words\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKey Features:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"[\u0026amp;:not(:last-child)_ul]:pb-1 [\u0026amp;:not(:last-child)_ol]:pb-1 list-disc space-y-2.5 pl-7\"\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"whitespace-normal break-words\"\u003eAuthentic Limestone Design with soft grey frosted appearance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"whitespace-normal break-words\"\u003eNatural stone aesthetic with subtle surface texture and variation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"whitespace-normal break-words\"\u003eCool grey palette with gentle tonal shifts creating serene, neutral backdrop\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"whitespace-normal break-words\"\u003eStone Tile Format: 457mm x 600mm (18\" x 24\") for authentic tile proportions\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"whitespace-normal break-words\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDIY-Friendly 5G Click-Lock System\u003c\/strong\u003e - easy installation without glue or nails\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"whitespace-normal break-words\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePre-attached Acoustic Foam Backing\u003c\/strong\u003e - no separate underlay needed\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"whitespace-normal break-words\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eReduces noise transfer by up to 21dB\u003c\/strong\u003e - perfect for upstairs rooms\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"whitespace-normal break-words\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e6.5mm thickness\u003c\/strong\u003e - enhanced stability and comfort\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"whitespace-normal break-words\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAvailable in gluedown format\u003c\/strong\u003e - matching design for permanent installations\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"whitespace-normal break-words\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e100% Waterproof construction\u003c\/strong\u003e - ideal for kitchens, bathrooms, and wet areas\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"whitespace-normal break-words\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEnhanced Surface Protection\u003c\/strong\u003e (K-Guard+ with PU coating)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"whitespace-normal break-words\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e0.55mm wear layer\u003c\/strong\u003e for superior durability\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"whitespace-normal break-words\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMicro bevelled edges\u003c\/strong\u003e for authentic stone tile appearance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"whitespace-normal break-words\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLifetime Residential \/ 15-Year Commercial Warranty\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"whitespace-normal break-words\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMid-range pricing\u003c\/strong\u003e - distinctive quality with DIY savings\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"whitespace-normal break-words\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eK-Core rigid PVC\u003c\/strong\u003e for dimensional stability\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"whitespace-normal break-words\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTile-to-tile variation\u003c\/strong\u003e for natural stone appearance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"whitespace-normal break-words\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWarmer underfoot\u003c\/strong\u003e than real limestone - comfortable year-round\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"whitespace-normal break-words\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eQuieter than real stone\u003c\/strong\u003e - acoustic backing reduces noise transfer\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"whitespace-normal break-words\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSuitable for all rooms\u003c\/strong\u003e - lounge, dining room, hallway, kitchen, bedrooms, bathrooms\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"whitespace-normal break-words\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIdeal For:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"whitespace-normal break-words\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eResidential Applications:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"whitespace-normal break-words\"\u003eFrosted Stone's timeless limestone aesthetic and practical rigid core construction make it exceptionally versatile throughout the home. \u003cstrong\u003eUpstairs bedrooms\u003c\/strong\u003e benefit enormously from the acoustic backing, which reduces noise transfer to rooms below—a significant advantage over real stone tiles.
