What is Palio by Karndean?
Palio is the trade luxury vinyl flooring range from Karndean, one of Britain's best-known LVT names. It offers realistic wood and stone designs in waterproof, hard-wearing floors across four ranges.
What are the four ranges?
Palio Rigid and Palio Core are rigid core click floors; Palio LooseLay uses a friction-grip backing with no adhesive; and Palio Essenza is a premium gluedown collection. We will help you pick the right one for your room and subfloor.
Is Palio waterproof?
Yes – every Palio by Karndean floor is waterproof, making the range suitable for kitchens, bathrooms, hallways and busy family spaces.
Is it hard-wearing?
Yes. Palio has a tough, low-maintenance wear surface that stands up well to busy homes, children and pets, and is backed by a 20-year residential warranty (with 15-year commercial cover on Core and LooseLay).
How long is the warranty?
Every Palio range carries a 20-year residential warranty. Palio Core and LooseLay add 15 years of commercial cover, and Palio Essenza adds 10 years. All warranties are subject to Palio by Karndean's terms.
Can it go with underfloor heating?
Yes – all Palio ranges are compatible with underfloor heating up to 27°C. Let us know your set-up and we will confirm the right range and any limits for your room.
How is it fitted?
It depends on the range: Rigid and Core click together over the subfloor, LooseLay is laid loose with a friction-grip backing, and Essenza is glued down. Our team can talk you through the options and the right preparation for your subfloor.
