Karndean is positioned at the premium end of the LVT category, and the price reflects several genuine differences: extra-long plank formats that reduce visible joins in larger rooms, highly detailed and realistic print layers, premium wear layer thickness and a lifetime residential warranty. The LooseLay Longboard format is particularly effective in large open-plan rooms because the longer boards create a more considered, calmer visual effect. Other LVT brands offer good quality at lower price points. Whether Karndean is worth the premium depends on the scale of the room and how much the floor is meant to be a design feature.
