Terrence Malick Re: Karndean Vs Tiles 24Dec 28, 2008 4:18 pm LOVE THE KARNDEAN!!
We had Karndean throughout the previous house we got built. No carpet or tiles on the floor at all.

Joles ... we had a boxer (dog) inside with no problems. We had the Karndean, grandewood longstrip, wideplank in american oak (I think). It had a textured surface. nonslip too. We built and lived in this house for 3.5 yrs and absolutely loved the karndean. We also have had MANY children live/play here as well. I am a child carer from home as well as foster carer... so the children were ummm ....not always respectful of our floorcoverings..if you know what I mean.. Built a modified "Daydream 279" ..

I would have no problems at all laying Karndean in a wet area; your en-suit looks very nice.

We are going with a vinyl floor plank again in this build. but cannot afford karndean this time.. so we will be getting 'casa- by gerflor' Built a modified "Daydream 279" ..

Yeah, thats what I was wondering. Have looked at their sites and apart from not coming in one big roll, I can't see a lot of difference. Re: Karndean Vs Tiles 29Dec 31, 2008 3:35 pm Jo - we have two large dogs (38 and 45kg) - maybe not as big as yours!
We definitely wanted timber flooring for most of the house (carpet in lounge, bedrooms and tiles in wet areas), and have found a great product that I am confident will be fine with the dogs and something we won't need to be at all precious about. It is a hand scraped oak floating floor, imported from USA and available through Smarter Floorworld in Cheltenham. They say they are the only place which has it and we didn't find it anywhere else. Just came across it by chance. It is not a gloss finish (which is mostly what scratches on lots of floors) and has some texture to it. It really does look like you could do anything to it and marks wouldn't be obvious - but it still looks great. I haven't taken photos of my tiles etc yet for the blog, but will get onto that today or tomorrow. So there will be a photo up there soon - although won't really do it justice I imagine. If you really are keen on floorboards I would recommend checking it out. There are a few finishes and colours available. We were lucky to get the end of a batch that was the amount we needed that they had reduced, so came in at $120psm laid, compared to about $160ish (depends on US$ unfortunately). So we have paid half the cost already to get that batch even though house only just started. So yes it would be an expensive option. Happy to provide more info if you like. I will take a photo shortly. -- Jo Settled In - Home Search and Relocation Services - http://www.settledin.com.au http://www.movingbacktotassie.blogspot.com/ viewtopic.php?t=9571 Firstly the ableflex that has been installed needs (manufactures specification) a sealant cap over the top, preventing water draining down between the slab and the… 3 7790 Our house was completed 8 years ago.
