The UK\u2019s market leader in luxury vinyl flooring, Karndean Designflooring<\/strong>, has launched two additions to its easy-fit ranges; Karndean LooseLay<\/strong> Series Three and Palio Clic by Karndean<\/strong>.<\/p>\n Karndean unveiled the new quick to install collections which feature the intricate finish and natural look customers have come to expect.<\/p>\n The plank and tile designs can be easily laid over most existing hard surfaces so long as they are dry, smooth, level and dust-free. Without the need for traditional cutting tools, both ranges can be trimmed to size with a sharp knife.Taking the brand into new territory, Palio Clic<\/strong> launched with a range of eight wood and four stone effect, on-trend designs, including the washed-wood hues of Sorano CP4508 and the deep grey stone Cetona CT4303.<\/p>\n The patented click-locking system allows installers to achieve an authentic and luxurious feel in any space without the need for glue.<\/p>\n The PU coating ensures that Palio Clic is durable and hardwearing, whilst the glass fibre layer adds stability, making it suitable for the busiest of environments.<\/p>\n Quieter than traditional laminate and warmer underfoot than wood and stone, Palio Clic is a luxury vinyl product in a convient and simple to use format.<\/p>\n The stylish new designs of the Karndean LooseLay<\/strong> Series Three range include the scandi\u2013style light blonde hues of Cambridge LLP113 and the rustic, lime-washed look of Hartford LLP112.<\/p>\n Available in large scale wood look planks (41.3\u201d x 9.85\u201d) and tiles (19.7\u201d x 24\u201d),<\/p>\n LooseLay\u2019s friction grip backing secures the floor firmly in place whilst the enhanced acoustic qualities help prevent sound transfer. Boasting a 13dB sound reduction in the rooms below, LooseLay is perfect for projects where noise levels need to be considered, such as apartments, loft conversions, offices and hotels.<\/p>\n Paul Barratt, managing director of Karndean Designflooring commented,<\/p>\n \u201cArchitects, interior designers and contractors are seeing the benefits of specifying Karndean LooseLay<\/strong> in place of traditional carpet tiles, and it\u2019s continuing to grow from strength to strength in the marketplace.\u201d<\/p>\n He said: \u201cThe collection is not only design-led but it\u2019s also compatible with under floor services and raised access floors, allowing easy access at all times. Our newest wood designs are a welcome addition and reflect the trends we\u2019re seeing within the industry.\u201d<\/p>\n All Karndean floors have a generic Building Research Establishment (BRE) Green Guide rating of A\/A+ in the UK. This means that builders, architects and designers specifying any of Karndean\u2019s products can rest assured they are selecting products suitable for the guide.<\/p>\n
