Karndean LVT New Natural Finish Flooring Tiles

Karndean is one of the most popular Luxury Vinyl Tile choices with our Hamilton Flooring clients. The Van Gogh Collection is Karndeans largest dual format commercial flooring LVT with its variety of formats and tile sizing, including herringbone and chevron, making it on-trend for 2023 and onwards.

The expanded collection includes new natural look woods, stones, herringbone options and chevron options. All of which provide opportunities to personalise your flooring and create unique and bespoke floors. The new additions secure the Van Gogh collection as the largest at Karndean and with compatibility across the designs, the possibilities are almost endless. Interesting laying patterns, unusual combinations of designs and the combination of wood and stone express individuality and creativity…and we are big fans of that, especially for our commercial clients.

Karndean for Commercial Flooring

Karndean Designflooring offers a vast range of products which make LVT a great choice for many commercial products. With most products coming with a commercial guarantee of 10-20 years (depending on the product) you can be assured that a Karndean floor has the longevity and durability needed for most commercial spaces.

Across Karndean there are three main product types, Gluedown, Looselay and Rigid Core, they do not require specialist cleaning solutions or treatments, they are 100% waterproof with long term guarantees, most options are compatible with underfloor heating and are quiet underfoot, and (most importantly for some…) they have extremely high hygiene ratings and are slip resistant up to R11.

The two main types we are interested in for the extended Van Gough collection are the Rigid Core and the Looselay options.

Rigid Core Flooring - Van Gogh Collection Karndean

Rigid core is a top choice for commercial projects due to its superior acoustic insulation created by the pre-attached acoustic backing. Rigid core flooring can reduce noise transfer to spaces below by 21dB making it the ideal choice for hotels, offices and accommodation schemes like community living developments.

A benefit of rigid core is that it does not need a perfect subfloor to be laid and the 5G and 2G mechanisms make it 30% quicker to install than other flooring types thus significantly reducing downtime for businesses. Not only do you get excellent characteristics, you also get the durability and design choice you would expect from any Karndean floor

Rigid core is both sustainable and 100% recyclable with no adhesive required and, once laid, individual planks can be removed and installed elsewhere.

Loose Lay Flooring - Van Gogh Collection Karndean

This format utilises the K-wave which is Karndeans unique friction grip backing which holds the flooring in place. The K-wave creates a strong bond to the subfloor using the combination of friction and weight. Like rigid core, loose lay is a brilliant choice for commercial spaces, it is quick and easy to install and can be taken up and used elsewhere making it a great choice for retail spaces with temporary display areas or exhibitions. A practical solution, loose lay allows for access to underfloor services.

Inspired by trends seen in natural wood and stone products, loose lay planks and tiles are available as distressed and rustic timbers, poured concrete and travertine tiles as well as a whole host of other designs and styles.

Loose lay reduces noise transfer to rooms below by 13dB, perfect for projects where noise levels need to be reduced, for example; multi-level buildings, retail, office and education environments.

A selection of the new Van Gogh designs are available in the small plank 28” x 7” herringbone option, including; Neutral Brushed Oak, Texas White Ash, Canadian Urban Oak and Texas Grey Ash. The herringbone option provides an interesting focus to your flooring and there is an option to pair them with the 56” x 9” plank of the same design for a dynamic look.
