Is Karndean better than laminate?
In many cases, yes. LVT flooring handles moisture and scratches more effectively. Most laminate isn’t waterproof, which can be an issue in kitchens or bathrooms. If you're renovating on a budget, our water resistant laminate flooring range may interest you.
What are some popular Karndean collections?
Art Select showcases high-detail wood planks and stone tiles, like oak and limestone. Knight Tile is classic and versatile. Van Gogh is a popular range renowned for realistic look designs.
Is Karndean the perfect choice for my home?
For areas needing durability and a nice finish, yes. Karndean floor tiles are hardwearing, realistic in appearance, and suits most décor styles. They supports underfloor heating and resists moisture. If any room needs reliable performance, you can't go far wrong with Karndean.
What is better, Amtico or Karndean?
They're both incredibly strong brands. People love Karndean for its wide range of styles and typically lower price points, whereas Amtico offers more bespoke designs and premium pricing.
Can I install Karndean flooring myself?
Click-fit LVT installed as a floating floor can be DIY-friendly if your subfloor is sound. Gluedown types require adhesive and are less straightforward to install without experience. It all depends on your room's condition and your comfort level.
How long does Karndean flooring last?
With care, most Karndean vinyl flooring lasts 15 to 20 years. The wear layer protects against damage and fading. Wipe up spills quickly, use furniture pads, and avoid using any harsh cleaning chemicals.
Does Karndean need underlay?
Click-system versions usually come with a built-in backing layer or use a thin underlay. Glue-down types are fixed directly to a flat subfloor. Read product guides carefully or ask our team of flooring experts for more advice.
What are the disadvantages of Karndean flooring?
Karndean floors need a level subfloor, and glue-down types usually require a professional fitting service.
