At Karndean, we see flooring differently... We travel the world in our quest to bring you exceptional floors that inspire and delight. From the ancient forests of Europe, to the remote Australian outback and beyond, we seek out expressive and intriguing forms in the natural world to influence our unique floor designs. By combining these original features with cutting edge design, we create simply beautiful floors that you'll love for a lifetime.

Designed for You Every one of our floors is unique to us having been lovingly created by our in-house team. Our product designers select natural woods and stones to work with, taking the time to carefully replicate the knots, grains and textures found in these products into our designs. Working with these products they apply different techniques of staining, brushing and oiling to name a few to create the perfect look and feel bringing you a simply beautiful floor.

From Our Home... It all began in 1973 when a former flooring installer created a small business from his family home. With the belief that luxury vinyl flooring shouldn’t just be practical, it needed to be beautiful as well, Karndean was formed. The team set out to travel the world, seeking inspiration from natural materials for what now are the most realistic luxury vinyl flooring products on the market. The Karndean team worked out of that house for several years with the family’s trusty dog Smokey, the Great Dane who is still present on Karndean’s logo today. For the family and...

...to Your Home Designing your home can be overwhelming. There are many elements that must fit together, from furniture to flooring, to fixtures and everything in between. Where to begin? We begin a new design with an inspiration, and we are most inspired by nature. What’s your design motivation? Is it aesthetic, such as a throw pillow or the perfect paint chip? Or is it lifestyle, a place where you can dance in your pajamas and your babies (both two- and four-legged) can roll around and play? No matter what drives you, Karndean was created with your needs in mind. We see flooring...

Design Tip When planning the design of your floor, think of your most common footpath. Have your local retailer install the floor in that direction to guide guests throughout the space.

Choosing Your Installation Pattern It's not just the floor you choose, but the direction you lay it that makes a lasting impression. So how do you know which way you should lay your floor? Keep these pattern options in mind as you browse our three product constructions, as select floors cannot be laid in all of these patterns.

GLUEDOWN Design Strips Design strips are narrow pieces of luxury vinyl tile which can be installed between our planks and tiles or used to create a slim border or inlay. They allow you to add visual interest to the design of your floor by adding a grout effect between tiles or between planks for a ship lap effect. The beauty of our strips versus real grout is that they won’t stain or fade, and they don’t have to be sealed....

If you don't see a pre-designed border that suits your floor or your style, ask your retailer about creating a custom border....
