Karndean Frequently Asked Questions:

Q: Can i install Karndean flooring myself? 

A: Karndean Flooring is best installed by trained installation experts for best results especially the fully adhered (or full stick down ranges) some of the clic or loose lay systems could be installed by a competent trades person of skilled DIY enthusiast, such as Karndean Korlok & Karndean Loose Lay,

Q: How much preparation is required? 

A: As with any successful installation good preparation is the key to a high quality finished floor, for fully adhered (or stick down ranges)

Timber Floors: such as chipboard or floorboards will require an overlay of high quality flooring grade plywood (minimum of 6mm thick) secured at 100mm centres with adequate approved fixings, all fixing heads and joints are then normally finished with a feather edge type latex smoothing compound.

Concrete Floors: Such as sand and cement or concrete floors should be primed and prepared with a suitable latex smoothing compound, care should be taken to select the correct types of smoothing compound as recommended by the manufacturer.

Concrete type floors should also be checked for moisture (this could be residual construction moisture if a new screed or rising damp in older buildings without an effective damp course) with a hygrometer or similar device as any moisture trapped within the screed can cause failure of your Karndean flooring installation, To address this issue Cameron Lee offer full damp proofing and sub floor preparation service.

Generally the advice is normally that the sub floor will need to be sound, smooth and dry, as with any flooring installation.
