About Karndean Flooring UK
Karndean is the UK’s market leader in luxury vinyl tile (LVT) flooring. Their strikingly realistic wood, stone and abstract flooring designs are well-received in all types of homes and come with a lifetime warranty.
Beginning in the 1970s, Karndean is a family business that values handcrafted luxury.

They are also extremely hygienic and family-friendly, with no risk of mould or dust building up under the tiles.
Choose Karndean Floor Tiles for Kitchen Flooring
Your kitchen design should blend aesthetics, functionality and practicality. The kitchen floor is continually taking the brunt of cooking, with dropped food, spills and heat exposure.
Karndean flooring is designed for life. While their designs offer the luxurious appearance of wood flooring, marble tiles and Victorian patterns, the construction of their LVT makes this the perfect kitchen flooring. It’s waterproof, scratch-resistant and low-maintenance, with rigid-core options that make installation simple.
Available in three different plank styles and a range of stunning designs, Karndean vinyl flooring is the perfect accompaniment to German kitchens, modern kitchens and traditional kitchens alike.
Karndean Vinyl Flooring
Karndean’s luxury vinyl tiles are available in an enormous range of designs, including palazzo marble, Knight Tile, Van Gogh, and Art Select collections. With light and dark colours, cool, warm, and neutral palettes, and completely durable construction, these tiles are the perfect fit for any kitchen renovation.
Their laying options include glue-down and click-lock tiles. Glue-down LVT flooring is fixed to the subfloor with adhesive to prevent shifting after installation and to make it easier to cut individual planks and tiles to lay in custom patterns, creating zoning for a bespoke effect.
Karndean Click Flooring
Click-lock LVT from Karndean is designed so that the tiles easily click and lock together with tongue-in-groove edging. This makes installation quicker and easier, minimising disruption and speeding up your kitchen renovation. Click flooring is perfect for laying on hard floors without revealing imperfections. The core of Karndean tiles ensures stability even over minor depressions.
Bayliss designs and installs all aspects of your new kitchen. As well as kitchen flooring, we work with brands such as Nolte Küchen, BORA and NEFF to create fully bespoke kitchen and bathroom designs.

FAQs
Frequently Asked Questions
What is Karndean flooring?
Karndean Designflooring offers luxury vinyl tile (LVT) flooring in a broad range of styles and effects. LVT is a multi-layered tile incorporating underlay and supportive backing, a vinyl aesthetic layer which resembles wood, stone or clay tiles, and high-density protective layers. Using Karndean floor tiles for kitchens offers an affordable, highly customisable appearance that is extremely durable and completely waterproof.
Is Karndean flooring waterproof?
Yes, Karndean flooring is waterproof against spills and cleaning fluids. There’s no risk of warping or swelling as no part of the LVT is made of wood.
How do you lay Karndean flooring?
The methods we use to lay Karndean flooring depend on the type of floor tiles you choose. High foot traffic and high likelihood of spills make glue-down LVT options the most sensible choice for most kitchens. We prepare the subfloor, apply adhesive and install the tiles in the desired configuration, cutting tiles to size and leaving room for expansion. We then apply a roller to press the tiles evenly into the adhesive and ensure they don’t shift or trap air bubbles.
