Plywood
A well-prepared subfloor is often the most important part of a flooring installation, particularly when it comes to luxury vinyl flooring like Karndean.
Karndean recommend the use of a minimum 6mm flooring grade plywood. Sometimes the finish of the flooring overlooks the condition of the floor beneath it.

Adhesives
It is important to choose the correct adhesive depending on your flooring needs.
We stock both Karndean and F. Ball adhesives.

A levelling screed is a top layer of material laid over the subfloor to obtain a defined level to receive the final flooring.
