Benefits of Karndean

There are some well know facts about Karndean flooring:

1. Karndean flooring is waterproof & stain-proof

All Karndean’s luxury vinyl tiles are 100% water-resistant, making it a perfect choice for kitchens and bathrooms. Karndean Design flooring uses stain resistant technology called Karndean’s K-Guard+ as finishing on the top layer of their luxury vinyl tiles, making it more difficult for spills and stains to penetrate the surface of the flooring. This protective layer helps to prevent liquids from seeping into the flooring and causing permanent stains. 

2. Highly scratch-resistant

The wear layer of Karndean flooring is designed to provide excellent durability and protect against normal wear and tear, including scratches from everyday use. Additionally, any scuffs, stains and minor scratches can be fixed by using Karndean cleaning products. 

3. Slip-resistant

The texture and surface characteristics of Karndean flooring are carefully engineered to provide traction and reduce the risk of slips and falls. However, the specific slip resistance rating may vary depending on the product line and collection.

Karndean cleaning & maintenance

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.
