The other good thing is their flooring is a lot warmer to the touch than most natural surfaces.... They also offer a 20 year guarantee. Do check out their showroom and you will be amazed at their design replications!
I decided on the wood finish - http://www.karndean.com/products_detail ... ue&id=1304 in Hickory Peppercorn. It will look like this finish - Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Re: Kitchen Flooring- vinyls suitable?? 26Jul 04, 2007 1:53 pm I must say Karndean is one of my favourite vinyl floorings.

Karndean is nice, I had them send a few samples but just couldn't find anything perfect to match in their tile look.
I wanted a light coloured vinyl so decided to go with the real commercial stuff to be safe. I think its about the same price anyway. I think the one I am looking at is Tarkett compact homogeneous "IQ | Eminent 2.0mm Light Beige" but need to go back to the store to double check the brand. http://http://www.tarkett-commercial.co ... rticle.asp I have some time so something else may come out before I need to decide. Jola Re: Kitchen Flooring- vinyls suitable?? 37Jul 04, 2007 5:47 pm You want be sorry with Tarkett, VERY durable flooring!
A little more expensive….but well worth your purchase. Most people won't pay that for a vinyl flooring, but what they don’t realise is how LONG its going to last them. Is it a 10 year warranty? Glade to hear it and well done, you will be very happy. Now…. do you need a rolled up newspaper?
