Seeing the wood for the trees

There’s a forest of wood floors available to homeowners in a sector that has enduring appeal and is all about options. But how to choose? The trends, say manufacturers, are all about character,
cosy-ness and colour.

Kahrs LVT collections draw from over 160 years of knowledge and

expertise in wood to create what they call “Where wood meets Vinyl”

– bringing enhanced realism to design floors across all of its ranges.

“We have introduced nuanced grading into our new Craft Click

collection aiding consumers to hone in on their preference of calm,

lively or rustic grades with embossed-in-register planks to really bring out the depth of detail,” says Marcus Bowes Senior
account manager Kahrs UK.

"This forms part of our value proposition of a complete package of

features such as ceramic coating, XXL planks and herringbone designs

in both glue down and SPC rigid core formats, many of which are

available in multiple wear layer options enabling retailers to offer a

great value and quality branded product.," he said.

Kahrs are also leading the way in the drive for sustainable floors

with its new 100% natural bio-based vinyl free Aware collection

contributing towards their Planet Positive Journey vision.

Available in 9 vibrant colours inspired by national parks, Aware is

fully recyclable as well as a natural C02 retainer providing

environmentally-aware consumers with a natural alternative to

Click LVT without compromising on comfort, realism and

performance or costing the earth.

Around the home, its advanced temperature stability properties

mean it can be installed in “hot areas” like conservatories and in front

of bi-fold doors. Performance even extends to use classification 33

commercial projects.

Stella Coyle, national retail sales manager at Karndean

Designflooring, said: “As home decorators increasingly desire

characterful flooring and a cosy natural feel, we are meeting this

demand with our expanded collection of contemporary herringbone

and chevron designs. What’s more, we are excited to be launching

new designs in the coming months!”

The company’s popular Knight Tile range now includes 12 beautiful

herringbone designs. From the palest Washed Scandi Pine to the rich

honey tones of Honey Limed Oak and the classic elegance of marble,

the herringbone designs are also available as a full size tile, providing

outstanding flexibility to combine laying patterns from room to room.

With a realistic wood grain look and an aligned textured surface

which gives a highly authentic effect, Karndean Designflooring’s

premium Art Select range offers both traditional 9 x 3” parquet

designs as well as 18 x 3” planks. Combined with matching full size

planks, borders and design strips this collection provides endless

options to create a luxurious bespoke floor.
