When it comes to finding flooring that balances practicality, style, and durability, vinyl flooring stands out as one of the smartest options for modern homes. Whether you’re renovating a family home, upgrading an investment property, or designing a new commercial space, vinyl flooring offers the kind of versatility and performance that fits perfectly into the lifestyles and design expectations of homeowners across Auckland and Northland.

At ATS Design, we’re proud to supply and install Karndean vinyl flooring, a premium Luxury Vinyl Tile (LVT) range that combines high-end aesthetics with exceptional durability. Here’s why vinyl—especially Karndean—is becoming a go-to choice in these regions.

What Makes Vinyl Flooring So Popular?

Vinyl flooring is engineered for real life. It’s designed to look like natural materials such as wood or stone but delivers practical advantages that solid timber or stone simply can’t match. Thanks to its layered construction and cutting-edge technology, vinyl is:

Water-resistant or waterproof, making it ideal for kitchens, bathrooms, and busy living spaces.
Durable and long-lasting, resistant to scratches, stains, and daily wear.
Comfortable underfoot, with a slightly softer feel than tile or hardwood.
Low-maintenance, requiring only simple cleaning to keep it looking great.

These qualities make vinyl flooring especially useful in Auckland’s diverse housing market and Northland’s lifestyle-driven properties, where climate conditions and daily use demand a flooring solution that performs without compromise.

Why Karndean LVT?

Karndean is not your average vinyl. With more than 50 years of innovation behind it, Karndean luxury vinyl flooring is inspired by the beauty of nature and crafted with precision to deliver a high-end finish in every plank and tile.

Karndean draws its design inspiration from around the world—think ancient European forests and the rugged textures of the Australian outback. This global approach results in incredibly realistic wood and stone visuals, capturing the tiniest natural details. Every design is brought to life using advanced manufacturing techniques to ensure depth, variation, and authenticity.

Karndean LVT is:

100% waterproof
Scratch and stain resistant
Comfortable and quiet underfoot
Environmentally conscious, with low VOC emissions and recyclable materials
Suitable for underfloor heating

And perhaps most importantly, it’s easy to maintain—ideal for busy Auckland households or holiday homes in Northland where effortless upkeep is essential.

Ideal for Every Room

From open-plan kitchens to cosy bedrooms and even bathrooms, Karndean LVT fits seamlessly across every room of the house. It can mimic the warmth of real timber without the upkeep, or the cool sophistication of natural stone without the cost and cold touch.

It’s also an excellent choice for commercial spaces across Auckland and Northland, where high foot traffic demands robust yet elegant flooring solutions.

Designed for New Zealand Living

Homes in Auckland and Northland benefit greatly from vinyl’s resilience. With humid summers, wet winters, and varied household needs, Karndean’s water-resistant construction and premium surface protection are ideal for New Zealand’s changing conditions.

Whether you’re living in a central Auckland apartment, a family home in the suburbs, or a beach house up north, Karndean LVT adapts effortlessly to your space and style.
