Karndean Flooring

Karndean flooring is a high-quality brand of luxury vinyl flooring (LVT) known for its realistic wood and stone effects, exceptional durability, and low maintenance. Unlike traditional materials, Karndean offers the aesthetic appeal of natural surfaces without the downsides of warping, cracking, or staining. Made from multiple layers, including a photographic layer and a clear protective wear layer.

The cost of Karndean flooring can vary depending on several factors, such as the specific product range, design, and installation requirements. Different styles come with their own price points, and whether you opt for gluedown or click-lock installation can also influence the total cost. Additionally, room size and subfloor conditions may affect your overall budget. Because of this variation, it’s best not to rely on general estimates when planning a project with Karndean.

There are 3 ways of Karndean flooring installation:
– Rigid Core: Karndean Rigid Core is a straightforward installation process, which allows the planks or tiles to securely snap together. It is highly resistant to impacts and denting due to its rigid core construction.
– Glue Down: With the glue down method, the planks or tiles are adhered directly to the subfloor using a recommended adhesive. We recommend you to hire a professional Karndean flooring installer for this type of installation. 
– LooseLay: Looselay is a glueless, floating floor system that does not require any adhesive during installation. The planks or tiles are designed with a unique interlocking mechanism, allowing them to be easily fitted together and stay in place without the need for glue or other adhesives.

Karndean LVT flooring requires pretty easy cleaning & maintenance. You can sweep or vacuum the floors regularly to remove dirt and debris, followed by damp mopping with Karndean specially formulated cleaning products. Do not use harsh and abrasive cleaning products or steam mops as they can damage the flooring. It is also important to avoid excessive moisture or standing water on the floor. We recommend immediate cleaning for any spills and stains, especially with substances like red wine, coffee, or oil-based products. Additionally, using felt pads or protective mats under furniture legs and avoiding dragging heavy items across the floor can help prevent scratches and dents.

Yes, Karndean flooring is fully waterproof, making it an ideal choice for areas prone to moisture such as kitchens, bathrooms, and utility rooms. Unlike natural wood, it won’t swell, warp, or crack when exposed to water. This feature not only enhances its durability but also makes maintenance much easier. However, it’s important to ensure correct installation to maintain its waterproof integrity over time.
