Victorian & Edwardian Homes

Old Town & Eastcott

Swindon’s period properties often have original timber floorboards that “flex.” Installing Karndean directly over these leads to gapping.

Our Solution: We install 6mm SP101 flooring-grade plywood to eliminate movement and provide the perfectly smooth base required for Art Select or Van Gogh planks.

Modern Eco-Homes

Wichelstowe & Badbury Park

New builds utilize high-efficiency underfloor heating (UFH) which requires careful thermal management.

Our Solution: We perform combined Tog calculations and use High-Temperature (HT) adhesives engineered to stay stable during peak summer solar gain.

New Build Screeds

Tadpole Garden Village & Oakhurst

Concrete screeds in North Swindon often retain high moisture levels long after the house is built.

Our Solution: We utilize Digital Moisture Testing. If levels are above 75% RH, we apply a liquid Damp Proof Membrane (DPM) to prevent adhesive failure.

Karndean vs Engineered Wood

Real wood can expand and contract with humidity changes, often leading to gaps or “crowning” in older properties.

✔ Karndean remains dimensionally stable and requires significantly less maintenance (no sanding or oiling required).

Karndean vs Laminate

Laminate can swell or “peak” when exposed to moisture. It often produces a hollow, “clicky” sound underfoot.

✔ Karndean is 100% waterproof and provides a quieter, more solid feel—ideal for kitchens, bathrooms and hallways.

Karndean vs Other LVT Brands

Standard LVT often uses a flat print. Karndean is world-renowned for its registered emboss textures.

✔ The physical grain texture matches the visual pattern perfectly, creating one of the most realistic wood-effect floors available.
