Acclimatisation
Acclimatising your Karndean Luxury Vinyl planks before installation is crucial for a successful installation. Maintaining a stable temperature between 18° – 27° degrees before, during and after the installation is essential to allow any adhesive to fully cure and control any thermal dimensional changes in the product, reducing the risk of warping or gaps.
Note: The acclimatisation period varies between LVT flooring formats/ranges. Always refer to the specific our installation guidelines.
Shuffling your Karndean LVT flooring
Karndean Luxury Vinyl is inspired by nature, and some wood species exhibit dramatically different grain patterns, as well as varying features in stone. It is for this reason that we recommend shuffling your Karndean luxury vinyl planks before installation to ensure even distribution of colour and pattern variations. When shuffling is done properly, the result is a natural, seamless floor, which resembles real wood or stone. This simple and fast step ensures a visually dynamic, balanced floor that highlights the beauty of your Karndean luxury vinyl.
