Karndean Designflooring sees luxury vinyl flooring differently, traveling the world in their quest to bring you exceptional floors that inspire and delight. In 2020, the LVT specialist has introduced more than 40 new waterproof products spanning gluedown, loose lay and rigid core constructions — all in visuals developed by, and unique to, Karndean.
For retailers looking to expand their presence in the Main Street commercial space, new stone visuals have joined the non-interlocking Karndean LooseLay floating floor range, notable for multi-directional visuals, fast installation with minimal adhesive, acoustic properties (IIC 16dB), individually replaceable tiles and seamless transition to commercial carpet tile. These distinctive designs replicate the in-demand looks of travertine, concrete and slate in a 20mil loose lay LVT format.
In gluedown, Karndean has introduced new stones to the elegant and stylish Opus 20mil range, including Iberian-inspired patterned tiles and looks that can be interpreted as stained concrete. The Iberian pattern combines geometric forms in a non-uniform patchwork arrangement and incorporates curves and crests influenced by medieval Spain.
Two additional new Opus designs have been designated as part of the new Heritage Collection, which denotes products across the Karndean portfolio that embody the pinnacle of designed flooring. Inspired by geometric tiled floors found in Victorian and Regency homes, each design captures the opulence of traditional English architectural styles and patterns. This collection is intended for highly skilled flooring mechanics, as the individual geometric pieces form intricate patterns when assembled.

mier rigid core range Korlok Select, with visuals ranging from slate to limestone, stencil, antique French cotta and Italian marble. Along with original designs, most of the new SKUs feature waterproof integrated grouting that will not stain or discolor. Unlike products with painted bevels, Korlok Select with InteGrout™ has a seamless vinyl grout line integrated into the product construction for a convenient, no-mess floating installation. The product’s 5G ® fold-down locking system allows the product to be installed 1 ½ times faster than competing rigid core products. Learn more about the benefits of Karndean rigid core. ❚
