Why are Karndean Floorboards a Great Choice for Floorboards?

Karndean is a premium luxury vinyl plank and hybrid floorboard brand designed to look like real wood, without the drawbacks that come with natural timber.

Here’s why customers love it:

  • Authentic wood designs
    Karndean floorboards replicate the grain, texture, and colour variations of real wood so convincingly that it’s hard to tell the difference even when up close or to touch.

  • Durable and hard-wearing
    Built to handle busy homes, Karndean flooring is resistant to scratches, scuffs, and everyday wear, making it ideal for families, pets, and high-traffic areas.

  • Water-resistant and low maintenance
    Unlike real wood, Karndean won’t warp or swell. It’s perfect for kitchens, hallways, and living spaces plus it’s easy to clean with simple, regular care.

  • Comfortable and quiet underfoot
    Karndean floorboards feel warmer and softer than traditional wood or laminate, with excellent sound-reducing qualities. This makes them an ideal choice for residential apartment living.

  • Versatile design options
    From classic oak styles to modern grey tones and herringbone patterns, there’s a Karndean look to suit every interior.

  • Easy and quick installation
    The Korlok range is designed with a click-locking mechanism ensuring installation is able to be completed quickly and beautifully.
