Top Reasons Avana Customers Choose Karndean
Karndean copes with the daily demands of family and busy lifestyles. Stain resistant and easy to clean, Karndean floors can handle water spillages without warping, and a dropped mug or plate without chipping or cracking. Designed to last for many years, each floor carries a lifetime residential guarantee of 35 years.
Unlike carpets, luxury vinyl flooring doesn’t harbour dirt, dust mites, or bacteria. Resistant to cleaning chemicals, Karndean is great for areas that need to be kept spotless or are prone to dirty foot traffic and muddy paws.
Should any tile or wood plank be damaged, a spare can be fitted quickly by your installer. This is far more cost-effective than damage to a portion of carpet or laminate when the whole floor often has to be replaced.
Karndean themselves hand-select the raw materials that inspire their flooring designs. Ultra realistic grains and patterns provide realistic wood and stone effects, with none of the practical drawbacks of the materials that inspired them.
Karndean LVT flooring planks are designed to be laid in a whole host of different styles, allowing you to express your individuality and create different atmospheres in each room.
Planks can be installed in staggered, diagonal, herringbone striped or brick layouts, with or without a border.
Karndean luxury vinyl flooring can be laid over the top of underfloor heating, great for modern open plan family rooms.
Whilst the installation of Karndean tiles takes longer than roll vinyl or carpets, it is significantly quicker than installing timber floors, ceramic or stone tiles and well worth the effort.
Karndean LVT vs Wood Flooring
The unique grain and knot details come with all the style but without the practical difficulties.
Real wood flooring products come in varying quality and can expand, warp and shrink in reaction to temperature changes and moisture. Karndean maintains its shape throughout its lifetime and is water resistant.
Hardwood flooring requires frequent maintenance including sanding, staining and lacquering. With Karndean, this isn’t required, cleaning and maintenance is simple.
Karndean LVT vs Stone Or Ceramic Tiles
Weight is often a problem with tiles, especially if you’re looking to install in a room upstairs. Karndean is much lighter, flexible and easier to install.
The cold touch of stone and marble can be a bit off-putting first thing in the morning or in cold weather. Karndean vinyl flooring is much warmer underfoot and is also compatible with underfloor heating.
Natural stone and ceramic tiles can be slippery when wet. Karndean flooring is fully slip tested and its textured surfaces are suitable for commercial and domestic use, even in areas which get wet, like the bathroom, kitchen, hall or utility room.
Karndean LVT vs Carpet
Unlike carpets, Karndean can be laid over underfloor heating systems and does provide an environment for dust mites which require frequent vacuuming.
Where carpets require specialist cleaning products, Karndean is easy and simple to keep clean, especially if you are busy, have children or pets to clean up after.
If there is a spillage of any kind, Karndean can be mopped and dried, carpets take time to dry out and are more prone to staining.
In the unlikely event of damage it is possible to replace a plank or tile of Karndean, a huge advantage over carpet which would need to be completely replaced.
Karndean LVT vs Laminate Or Engineered Wood
Karndean luxury vinyl is water resistant and perfect to use in any room of your home, including kitchens and bathrooms. If water gets inside a Laminate or Engineered Wood floor, it can cause the top layer of the product to de-laminate and peel making it far less suitable for wet areas such as kitchens and bathrooms.
In addition, when regularly exposed to water, wood can curl or shrink whereas Karndean will retain shape throughout its lifetime.
