Discover Karndean Luxury Vinyl Flooring: Nature-Inspired Design Meets Everyday Durability in Auckland & Northland
At ATS Design, we're excited to partner with Karndean, a globally renowned brand of luxury vinyl flooring (LVT) that brings the realistic beauty of natural materials into homes and commercial spaces across Auckland and Northland. With over 50 years of family-owned innovation, Karndean combines artistry and technology to deliver stunning floors that look like real wood or stone—but perform in real life.
Nature as Inspiration: Authentic Looks, Global Influence
Karndean’s design team travels the world to draw inspiration from diverse landscapes—from ancient European woodlands to the rugged Australian outback. Each plank or tile replicates the texture, grain, and tonal variation of natural materials, captured in high-resolution photographic layers and embossed surfaces. The result is flooring that is visually striking and true to its natural sources.
Innovative Technology Behind the Beauty
Karndean luxury vinyl flooring is engineered with multiple layers that deliver resilience and realism:
K‑Guard+® surface protection over a clear PVC wear layer resists scuffing, staining, and daily wear.
A high‑definition photographic design layer beneath adds depth and authenticity.
A sturdy stability core, often reinforced with fiberglass, keeps boards flat and stable across temperature and humidity variations.
Installation formats include gluedown, LooseLay friction‑grip, and Rigid Core hybrid using advanced 5G® click system or K-Core® technology—many with integrated foam backing for quieter, more comfortable floors.
Designed for Real Life — Durability Meets Detail
Karndean is made to go beyond aesthetics:
100% waterproof—resistant to spills, splashes, and humidity-driven movement.
Scratch- and stain-resistant thanks to top-tier surface coatings, ideal for families, pet owners, and high-use zones.
Hygienic and safe—phthalate-free, low-VOC, dust- and allergen-resistant surfaces support healthier interiors.
Lifetime residential warranty, with up to 20 years for commercial use, so you can install with confidence.
Perfect for Homes in Auckland & Northland
Whether you're fitting out a coastal villa in Northland or renovating a downtown Auckland apartment, Karndean adapts beautifully:
Bathrooms, laundries, kitchens: moisture-friendly and easy to maintain.
Living areas and bedrooms: warm and comfortable underfoot, with realistic wood visuals.
High-traffic or commercial spaces: resilient wear layers and format flexibility allow creative patterns like herringbone, borders, or zonal designs.
Karndean even allows layout features like design borders, tramline detailing, and decorative edges—all without grout or additional finishing.
