How do I install, maintain, and care for Karndean flooring?

Is Karndean suitable for wet rooms, and will it be slippery?

Karndean flooring is not suitable for wet rooms like showers. While Karndean floors are slip-resistant, water and liquids can make them slippery. It's important to clean up spills immediately and keep the floor dry to prevent accidents.

Where can I find installation guides and technical datasheets?

All technical datasheets, installation guides, and other important documents are available for download on our website. These resources can be accessed through the product pages or in our dedicated Downloads section.

What should I do after the installation is complete?

After installation, do not wash your Karndean floor for 24 hours. Once this period has passed, follow our commercial cleaning and maintenance guide to ensure proper care.

How easy is it to clean and maintain Karndean flooring?

Karndean flooring is easy to clean and maintain thanks to the K-Guard+ surface protection system. This PU technology ensures a durable and hygienic finish, making it resistant to dust and micro-organisms. For detailed care instructions, refer to our cleaning and maintenance guide.

Is Karndean slip-resistant, and can it stain?

Karndean floors are slip-resistant but can become slippery when wet, so extra care is needed during cleaning. While most common stains won’t affect Karndean floors, certain solvent-based liquids can cause stains.

Can spilt liquids seep through the tile edges?

If the floor has been properly installed, spillages should not seep through tile edges. However, spills should be cleaned up immediately to avoid creating slippery surfaces.
