Karndean Frequently Asked Questions
What is Karndean made of?
Karndean flooring is made up of pure virgin PVC with high quality plasticizers and is manufactured to create a textured surface which replicates the natural products.
Will a Karndean floor be slippery?
As with most smooth floorcoverings, water and other liquids on the surface of the floor can make them slippery. Karndean floors do have high levels of non-slip properties but to prevent slipping clean up and spillages immediately and keep the floor dry.
What is the difference between each of the Karndean ranges?
The difference between the ranges; Knight Tile, Renoir, Van Gogh, Michelangelo and Da Vinci, is that each product has a different wear layer, therefore has a different life expectancy.
