Karndean LooseLay

February 27, 2024

Karndean Designflooring has just added 13 trend-forward designs to the award-winning collection, LooseLay. LooseLay delivers all the style, durability and performance of Karndean premium luxury vinyl in an installation format that combines key benefits of gluedown and floating floors – specifically, the customization and creative possibilities of gluedown flooring while requiring only minimal adhesive and subfloor preparation.

It’s all possible because of the K-Wave friction-grip backing. While the backing’s primary function is to hold the flooring in place, it also reduces noise to lower floors – perfect for upstairs bedrooms or playrooms – and provides extra cushion for comfort. The product is engineered with proprietary SureFit technology, which provides extra dimensional stability and eliminates the need for expansion gaps and transition strips – a key difference from rigid core.

Karndean LooseLay planks and tiles are easily removed if damaged by sliding furniture, appliances or heavy objects. Pieces also can be lifted and reused. The ability to remove and reuse LooseLay – which comes with a lifetime residential warranty – extends the product lifespan and makes it more sustainable. Durable, high-quality flooring reduces impact on the waste stream, as well as resources needed to manufacture, transport and install replacement flooring.
