{"title":"Karndean","description":"\u003cp\u003eKarndean is a British luxury vinyl tile manufacturer and the brand most UK buyers mean when they say vinyl tile rather than sheet vinyl. Its floors are built as layers rather than cut from a material: a flexible backing, a printed design layer taken from real stone or timber, and a clear wear layer over the top that takes all of the traffic. We stock 12 Karndean floors across two ranges, sold by the square metre from £14.00 to £55.00 per square metre.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eUnderstanding the product codes\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEvery Karndean design carries a short code, and that code is how the range is actually navigated. T prefixed codes such as T86, T99, T74, T88, T89 and ST5 belong to Knight Tile. CC and PEW codes such as CC01, CC03 and PEW01 belong to Da Vinci. If you have an existing Karndean floor and need to match or extend it, the code on the original invoice or on the back of a spare tile is the only reliable way to do it, because design names are reused and colours are revised.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eThe two ranges we stock\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eKnight Tile\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSix designs from £33.40 to £40.08 per square metre. Knight Tile is the everyday range and the one most specified in kitchens, utility rooms and hallways. The designs we hold lean towards stone and slate effects: Dolomite, Rona, Onyx, Andecite, Soapstone and Midnight Black. Midnight Black and Onyx are the two that get used as a deliberate dark floor rather than a neutral one. See \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/karndean-knight-tile\"\u003eKarndean Knight Tile\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDa Vinci\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFive designs from £50.06 per square metre. Da Vinci sits above Knight Tile and is where the softer colours and the wood effects live, including Rustic, Sepia, Azure, English Pewter and Alabaster. The extra money buys a more convincing surface texture and a wider palette rather than a fundamentally different construction. See \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/karndean-da-vinci\"\u003eKarndean Da Vinci\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eT82 Serpentine\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe entry point at £14.00 per square metre, and the cheapest hard floor we sell.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003ePrices are per square metre\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eKarndean is quoted and sold by the square metre, not by the pack. Measure each room in metres, multiply length by width, add the rooms together, then add 10 per cent for cuts. Add more for a diagonal or herringbone lay, or a room with a bay and a chimney breast. Getting this right first time matters more with Karndean than with laminate, because dye lots and design revisions mean a small top up order months later may not match perfectly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhere Karndean beats the alternatives\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt is fully water resistant, which is why it dominates kitchens and bathrooms where engineered wood and laminate both struggle. It is quieter and warmer underfoot than laminate. It is thin, which means far less trimming at door thresholds than a thick engineered board. And it works well over underfloor heating, within the temperature limits the manufacturer specifies.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhat it will not do is replace real timber. It cannot be sanded and refinished, and close up it is a printed surface. If a genuine timber wear layer matters to you, \u003ca href=\"\/blogs\/advice\/oak-engineered-flooring-guide\"\u003ethe oak engineered flooring guide\u003c\/a\u003e explains the alternative. \u003ca href=\"\/blogs\/advice\/what-is-karndean-flooring\"\u003eWhat is Karndean flooring\u003c\/a\u003e covers the construction in more depth, and our \u003ca href=\"\/blogs\/advice\/flooring-buying-guide\"\u003eflooring buying guide\u003c\/a\u003e compares all of the options.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eInstallation\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe subfloor does most of the work. Karndean is thin, so every dip, ridge and loose board telegraphs through to the surface, and a floor that fails almost always fails because of preparation rather than the product. A dry, level, sound and clean subfloor is not optional, and screed and timber floors each need their own preparation. Fitting method, adhesive and acclimatisation requirements vary by range, so follow the instructions supplied with the specific floor. Our \u003ca href=\"\/pages\/installation-information\"\u003einstallation information\u003c\/a\u003e covers general preparation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eCare and warranty\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSweep or vacuum, then damp mop with a pH neutral floor cleaner. No steam mops, no abrasive pads and no solvent based cleaners. Felt pads under furniture legs and a doormat at every external door will do more for the floor than any product you can buy. Warranty terms are set by Karndean and differ between ranges and between domestic and commercial use, so check the documentation supplied with your order, and see our \u003ca href=\"\/pages\/warranty-information\"\u003ewarranty information\u003c\/a\u003e and \u003ca href=\"\/pages\/product-care\"\u003eproduct care\u003c\/a\u003e pages.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eMatching Karndean to doors and trim\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA stone effect grey floor sits naturally under \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/internal-grey-doors\"\u003einternal grey doors\u003c\/a\u003e and white painted joinery.
