What Karndean makes
Karndean is known for luxury vinyl in plank and tile formats. The designs copy natural timber grain and stone surfaces, so a room can look warm and natural while the floor stays water resistant.
Most ranges come in two ways of fitting. Glue-down pieces bond to the slab and suit heavy use. Loose-lay and click formats suit some projects where the floor may need to come up again later.
Where it suits
Karndean works well where the look of the room matters as much as the wear. Think reception areas, meeting rooms, cafes, shop fit-outs and hotel corridors.
Because the surface wipes clean, it also helps in rooms that get spills and wet shoes.
How the floor is specified and laid
A good result starts with the slab. We check that it is flat, dry and clean, and we repair or level it where needed before any plank goes down.
Next we measure the area, order the right amount with some spare, and let the boxes rest in the room. Then we set out the layout from the centre so cut pieces at the edges look even.

Bring these questions to your first talk about a Karndean floor.
- Which fitting method suits the traffic and the slab?
- What wear rating does the chosen range have?
- How is the floor cleaned day to day?
- How much spare stock should we keep?

Questions
Is Karndean only for homes?
No. Karndean makes ranges for commercial use as well. We help you match the range to the traffic in your building.
Can damaged planks be replaced?
Yes, in most cases single pieces can be lifted and replaced. Keeping spare boxes from the same batch makes this easier.
Glue-down or loose-lay?
Glue-down is the usual choice for busy floors. Loose-lay can suit spaces that change often. We advise after we see the site.
