How to lay Karndean Quality Luxury Vinyl Flooring Tiles & Planks

Karndean Designflooring is a global supplier of luxury vinyl tile flooring for commercial and residential applications. Its floor tiles and wood planks faithfully reproduce the look of natural materials such as wood and stone, yet without any of their practical drawbacks.

Karndean Designflooring brings the ageless beauty of natural flooring to your home without the hassle. Floors with all the wondrous individuality of wood grain, the luminosity of marble and the subtle textures of limestone and slate, but much easier to install and look after. You can create an even more individual-looking floor by laying the flooring at different angles or patterns or choosing finishing touches like borders or inserts to create a customized look.

Each plank and tile is carefully designed for authenticity. They don't look uniform or manufactured but convey all the great characteristics of natural materials. Colours are defined with variable shades and tones, just as they are in natural wood or stone.

Comfortable and practical, Karndean is softer, warmer, and easy to clean without the porous qualities of wood and some stones.

This luxury and comfort are not at the expense of strength; design flooring is hard-wearing. We use the latest technology and the most durable materials to make Karndean Designflooring last. We offer a Lifetime guarantee on their floors, providing you with a long-lasting investment for your home.

One of the distinguishing characteristics of a Karndean floor is the highly customizable product range. Customers can create and design a floor unique to their personal style and space by adding decorative strips, borders, and design features.

These decorative strips can be used to create detailed features like a border or a natural-looking grouting effect to complement or contrast planks or tiles. From adding decorative borders around furniture and room perimeters to arranging planks and tiles in various patterns, Karndean Designflooring can accentuate any space.

Customers can incorporate one of Karndean's seven custom design features to create an even more distinct look. If customers prefer to sketch their own design features, Karndean will work with retailers to sketch a truly distinctive feature for their space.

What I like about you Roger is you’re so humble. I’ve met so many arrogant tradesmen that think they’ve cracked the enigma code by mastering their trade and no one else could possibly ever learn it too

[jeffmcmillan]

Lot's of mixed reviews, I see but I enjoyed this video and learned a simple but very effected trick for easily getting the end piece correct. Thanks so much!

Something else to say about this flooring...
I am a Reflexologist (31 years) ... sending on my feet all day long.
I had this kind of flooring and it was amazing to work on!!!
Great for your back and feet!!!

Great video, picked up a lot of tips, thanks. Researching this as a possible flooring in my bathroom - wanted wood, but don't trust the splash proof laminates to be able to stand up to the rigours of a young family. Vinyl has come a long way from the cracked, brittle stuff I remember from my childhood!

Fantastic tutorial. I stumbled across this video whilst awaiting delivery of 3 boxes of Karndean Looselay Longboard Pearl Oak and am so pleased that I did.

The explanation given here of how to cut the boards to size is absolutely invaluable. It seems so obvious once understood but it’s not how I would have gone about it had I not seen the video. The end result I achieved is absolutely stunning.

The product is supplied with some MDF boards at the bottom of each pack which are the same width as the flooring planks and which I found really useful not only for using as a straight edge and 90 degree square but I also for making templates for the most challenging cuts (around architraves and multiple corners).

I was fortunate enough for the subfloor of my newly built room to be flat and level enough to require only moderate preparation, and provided that the subfloor has been adequately prepared, I really can’t fault this product, I do have some small pieces cut to skirting boards and door thresholds but I haven’t used any adhesive at all and there’s no movement whatsoever.

To summarise ... An absolutely fantastic product from Karndean and if you’ve ordered some Looselay, watching this video is the best possible way you could spend 18 minutes and 31 seconds of your time whilst awaiting delivery.

Hi !! I need a big help here, my jar dean it’s been done 4 years ago to all the corner it’s been applied silicone to seal which I don’t really like, it’s look bad and as the house made some movement created a gap between the skirting board and the floor, what shall I do to solve this problem ?

[cornegrotius]

Great video. Thanks! I'm having 50m2 delivered today to install over the weekend. This is going to be a great help.

[cathywallace]

Did all threw the house you would think it was laminate love it such a statement .

Getting ready to install this on stairs. Thanks for the video!!

[johnpetry]

Roger- Great tips! We're 3/4 of the way through our install (I think we even have the same pattern as the one on your demo) and the product and installation process exceeds our expectations. I think my supplier sold us the wrong "adhesive." They specified "K-Spray" and not the Tackifier you showed. I was in a pinch for time, so I used a pin nailer on the first row to keep it from moving. Four pins in each length held it fine, and the pins went below surface and were essentially "swallowed up" by the vinyl and are invisible. I will get the tackifier though to stick down some of the smaller ends and still leave them removable for repairs and such. A word of caution about moving heavy items back onto the freshly laid floor--particularly items that have wheels/casters. On our freshly laid tiles, things hadn't settled in enough to prevent movement. Our advice; wait to move that kind of stuff --if you can.

Brilliant video, how do you scribe round circular corners, like the first stair that’s rounded on the stair case. Also did you under cut the door frames or scribe them?

[ryanpellegrini]

How can you install this with out an expansion joint. I get Vinyl has very little expansion depending on the body make up. But the house itself should still be expanding and contracting. How doesnt installing right to the base not cause buckling when humid and gaps when dry weather occurs

[reaganpenner]

Great video thanks for all the details! You mentioned using your finger as a guide when cutting the tiles. I could not see what you were doing in this video. How exactly do you hold the knife and which finger is the guide and where do you place this finger. I know this is a tricky thing to show in a video or even to explain with words

[cheridamico]

I loved your video. My question is about the ripples showing up when the sun hits it. What causes the ripples? We had a Karndean floor installed and there are many placed with rippled planks. How do we fix that? Thank you for your help :)

[annalisapremoli]

this is very useful, thanks! what would you say is a fair price for someone laying this type of floor? we were quoted £100/sq mt from the reseller...

[totallyrocks]

I am thinking of putting this in a kitchen diner, but it doesnt have a perimiter skirting board all round as it would go under the kitchen plinth a little, does the tackifyer stop it moving in this situation?

[lovelifeandothers]

Thanks for this extremely informative video! We’re planning to do our entire bungalow floor in Karndean as we’re getting a new floor throughout with underfloor heating.

Could I ask if you have any tips for laying this product in a parquet pattern please? Likely herringbone format..

Thanks!

[nikhulton]

Would this suitable for a kitchen and bathroom?
