Karndean was founded on a single conviction: that luxury vinyl flooring could deliver the genuine visual depth and texture of natural materials without their inherent vulnerabilities. Five decades later, that conviction drives every product we make.
Karndean established in the UK with a vision for authentic-feel luxury vinyl flooring for residential markets.
Distribution extended to North America, Australia, and mainland Europe as the LVT category grew rapidly.
Launched proprietary LooseLay technology — friction-grip backing eliminating adhesive for faster, cleaner installation.
Korlok rigid core click collections introduced superior dimensional stability and compatibility with underfloor heating systems.
We study natural materials obsessively — photographing, embossing, and calibrating until each plank or tile captures genuine depth and variation.
Every collection undergoes rigorous testing: wear resistance, slip resistance, dimensional stability, and compatibility with heating systems before it reaches market.
From LooseLay's friction-grip system to Korlok's rigid core construction, Karndean consistently develops installation technologies that solve real installer pain points.
FloorScore certified, NSF/ANSI 332 Bronze compliant, and LEED eligible — our products are manufactured with indoor health and environmental responsibility as core considerations.
From our UK heritage to distribution across North America, Australia, Europe, and the Asia-Pacific region, Karndean is available through an authorised network of trade distributors, flooring retailers, and commercial specification partners.
We partner with established flooring distributors and retailers who share our commitment to quality and customer service. If you're interested in carrying Karndean, we'd like to hear from you.
