[Export, Penn.] – Karndean Designflooring, a leader in luxury vinyl tile (LVT) flooring, will showcase its full hospitality product portfolio, featuring new product ranges and installation clinics, at HD Expo 2017 located in Las Vegas’ Mandalay Bay, the company announced.
According to Karndean, the company offers an array of products for hospitality environments across gluedown, loose lay and rigid core formats, each featuring Karndean’s own original designs. The company’s two newest floating floors, LooseLay Longboard and Korlok, will be featured at the show, and are designed for quick and easy installation in an industry where there is little downtime. LooseLay Longboard’s 59” long planks are ideal for remodeling existing spaces, the company said, as it can be laid over existing tile, LVT and VCT; and is anchored in place by Karndean’s friction-grip K-Wave backing. Korlok, Karndean’s new rigid core locking floor, features proprietary K-Core technology, providing superior dimensional stability for installation over most existing and imperfect subfloors, meeting the ASTM standard for indentation resistance. Each of these products is nominated in the IIDA/HD Expo Product Design Competition.
Karndean said guests can see how easy LooseLay Longboard and Korlok are to install over existing subfloors during the company’s installation clinics, lead by professional installer John Jarvis, on May 3 and 4 at 11 a.m. and 3 p.m. in booth 5411.
In addition, Karndean said guests can learn how designflooring can enhance any hospitality setting through wayfinding and view Karndean’s full gluedown offering at the show, including Karndean’s custom Kaleidoscope collection. This collection features modular, compatible designs which utilize the most popular colors from Karndean’s gluedown ranges. In hospitality settings, these components may be used to highlight featured areas or create pathways which facilitate guest flow. Kaleidoscope is a 2016 Good Design award-winner, a 2017 finalist in the Hospitality Design Product Awards, and an IIDA/HD Expo Product Design Competition nominee.
According to the company, all Karndean products are waterproof and finished with K-Guard +, Karndean’s tried and tested surface protection system, which uses PU technology to provide a hygienic and durable finish; feature wear layers from 12mil – 30mil; and carry commercial warranties of up to 20 years.
