Handcrafted using the best quality raw materials and conform to the highest standards of quality, these gorgeous floors feature a wide range of traditional and modern shades ranging from breezy cream to warm browns, subdued grey to bold and beautiful black.

Moreover, the surface is hand-brushed to create grains and knots at various places to further enhance the stunning look of natural wood floors.

Apart from aesthetics, Korlok score high on several other features.

The Karndean Korlok range is a collection of rigid core floors, which means these can be installed on most pre-existing floors. The floors are just perfect when you want a quick makeover to hide imperfections in your existing floor.

Installing the floor is super quick and easy with the unique 5G vertical click-lock mechanism. The planks can just be locked together without the need for messy glue or complicated instruments.

The 6.5mm thick planks feature high quality pre-attached foam underneath that acts as an excellent sound barrier. The foam layer also acts like a cushion, making the floors extremely comfortable underfoot. This also means that you do not need to install underlay with these vinyl floor tiles.
