The Karndean LooseLay collection offers a unique combination of style and performance for commercial environments. With more than 40 wood- and stone-inspired luxury vinyl designs, it’s one of the largest, most stylistically diverse collections in the loose lay installation format, a format that brings together the best attributes of gluedown and rigid core luxury vinyl: the ability to create custom patterns, layouts and zoning, like gluedown, and the efficient installation, enhanced sound absorption and extra comfort underfoot of rigid core.
It’s all because of the K-Wave friction-grip backing, which holds the flooring in place, allowing 4.5 mm thick LooseLay planks and tiles to be installed with or without a full adhesive spread. The backing also contributes to the acoustic performance and comfort underfoot.
Another key performance feature is proprietary SureFit® technology in the stability layer of Karndean LooseLay. SureFit® gives planks and tiles enhanced dimensional stability, eliminating the need for expansion gaps and transition strips in large spaces.
Made with a 20 mil wear layer, Karndean LooseLay is scratch-resistant, waterproof and easy to clean with a broom, mop and pH neutral solution – no expensive, time-consuming maintenance required.
The Design Process
Our product team travels the world curating the wood and stone that inspire our luxury vinyl flooring. The purpose is to seek out something extraordinary. To create something exceptional.
Through artistry such as staining, scraping, brushing and polishing, the natural materials are crafted to achieve unique aesthetic character, then replicated in exacting detail as beautiful flooring that’s waterproof, easy to clean and backed by a lifetime residential warranty.
Every design is a Karndean original, each with a story as unique as the wood or stone that inspired it.
