Karndean: aesthetic, durable, practical
When considering flooring options, you're looking for the best in terms of aesthetics, durability, and practicality. Karndean Designflooring excels in all these aspects, setting it apart from other flooring types. Let's delve into a detailed comparison to showcase why Karndean stands out.
Sustainable style: five decades of excellence
For decades, Karndean has led the charge in creating floors that combine style and strength while minimizing environmental impact. Our products are meticulously crafted in alignment with global standards for environmental consciousness and quality management, showcasing our unwavering dedication to sustainability. This dedication is validated by our ISO 14001 and ISO 9001 certifications.
Realistic Aesthetics, Without the Hassle: Karndean offers all the visual qualities of natural wood without the drawbacks. Unlike real wood, which can expand, warp, and shrink, Karndean maintains its shape over time. Wood is also susceptible to temperature changes and water damage, while Karndean's LVT is 100% waterproof flooring that can handle spills and varying temperatures seamlessly. Not to mention Karndean’s K-Guard+® surface technology for scuff and stain resistance, eliminating the need for additional surface treatment post-installation.
Lighter, Warmer, and Safer: Karndean is much lighter and easier to install than natural stone, marble, or ceramics. Moreover, it offers a warmer touch underfoot, addressing the cold feel associated with stone. Textures enhance safety, especially in wet areas, providing slip resistance that stone or marble may lack. Not to mention Karndean’s realistic replication - inspired by nature, our in-house designs realistically replicate the look and feel of natural stone materials.
Practicality and Hygiene: Karndean proves superior over carpets with its easy cleaning, hygienic properties, and longevity. Unlike carpets that harbour dust mites and bacteria, Karndean floors remain clean and fresh. Even in the unlikely event of damage, individual plank or tile replacement is possible, a massive advantage over carpet that often requires complete replacement.
Unmatched Quality and Durability: Karndean eclipses laminate and other types of vinyl with superior quality, colour, finish, texture, and lifetime guarantee. While man-made materials like laminate may curl or shrink, Karndean maintains its shape, ensuring lasting beauty. Plus, Karndean's hard-wearing nature stands as a testament to its longevity.
Exemplifying Quality, Durability, Innovation, and Practicality: Karndean Designflooring offers a unique blend of practicality and innovation. Our LVT outperforms in terms of durability and ease of maintenance. Whether it's replicating the natural world or offering a comfortable, quiet underfoot experience, Karndean stands as the epitome of excellence. Not to mention Karndean is environmentally conscious; all Karndean floors are 100% recyclable and environmentally friendly.
Karndean goes beyond traditional certifications by offering Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs) for all our products. These independently verified reports provide you with clear insights into the life cycle environmental impact of our flooring options, enabling you to make informed and sustainable choices.
In conclusion, Karndean Designflooring not only replicates the natural world flawlessly but also outshines other flooring types in terms of durability, aesthetics, maintenance, and practicality. When you choose Karndean, you're choosing unmatched quality and innovation.
