KARNDEAN BRANCHES OUT ACROSS THE WORLD WITH NEW
WOOD DESIGNS Luxury vinyl flooring manufacturer, Karndean Designflooring, is adding a new specification to its loose-lay vinyl range with its new 1.5 metre plank design, as part of its LooseLay Longboard collection.
LooseLay Longboard features 12 contemporary wood designs, each inspired by authentic European, American and Australian woods; including pine, walnut and spotted gum, to name but a few.
Enhancing its established Karndean LooseLay range, LooseLay Longboard introduces a 1500mm x 250mm format with a 0.55mm wear layer and 4.5mm thickness.
The unique collection offers quick and easy installation to meet challenging timescales, meaning less downtime for end users, and impact in large commercial spaces including open plan offices, retail spaces and hospitality areas.
Matthew Speck, Head of Commercial Sales at Karndean Designflooring, said: “With demand increasing for our Karndean LooseLay across commercial and residential interiors alike, we’re thrilled to introduce our longest format as a loose lay vinyl option.
“Being 40% larger than our existing Karndean LooseLay wood design, our new plank format will be extremely popular
with flooring contractors looking to offer the flexibility and convenience of our loose lay vinyl designs, but in an extra-long design for quicker installation in large commercial spaces.”
Developed from a wide mix of wood grains for a truly characterful floor, Karndean’s European Oaks are split into two distinct groups.
Twilight and Raven Oak offer on-trend grey and charcoal tones for a modern look with authentic knots, lightly brushed grain details and subtle distressed finishes.
Inspired by aging French oak boards recovered from the heart of Loire Valley in Blois, Karndean’s Pearl, Natural and French Grey Oak designs present individual interpretations of this attractive wood through the process of liming, light brushing and adding colour. Whilst the lighter tones reveal cross sawn elements across the planks for an intriguing blend of natural and manmade features, the darker tones highlight individual knots and knarls.
Ideal for traditional and contemporary interiors, Karndean’s American inspired woods include reclaimed and rustic pines – Reclaimed, Antique and Weathered Heart Pine - and a contrasting warm walnut design – Character Walnut. The detailing in the reclaimed timber replicates both natural open grain and manmade markings for a unique, aged look, whereas Character Walnut takes on the true colour of real walnut wood.
Finally, the collection concludes with two Australian designs – Bleached Tasmanian Oak and Lemon Spotted Gum. Offering a sustainable alternative to real Tasmanian Oak sourced from remote lumber yards in South Eastern Australia, Karndean’s Bleached Tasmanian Oak presents original growth rings and subtle colour variation, but in a modern whitewashed finish.
Available to order from September, LooseLay Longboard by Karndean Designflooring offers a 15-year commercial guarantee.
