Karndean flooring

[John Benton]

I've got Amtico in my hallway and I love the stuff, been down about 14 years now and when stripped and re-polished looks like it was fitted yesterday. It did however cost me £100m2 fitted as you couldn't buy it, only have it supplied and fitted through a certified company. Not the case now, you can buy and fix yourself.

Did it not work for you Stef?

I thought about doing a course on it a few years ago,
I've been asked a few times if I fit it.
Where's a good place to do the course?

Hi Stef, Ive never done the course myself and I know Karndean will try to get out of the guarantee if not installed correctly.
That's why on the odd occasion I have to install it, Karndean for example, I take pics of over boarding with wbp ply and using there skim coat along with there correct adhesive. The bathroom company I subby for is a recommended supplier of karndean & Amtico and are happy with my installations.
However this is probably not the route you should take. Try to get on a course if you find yourself asked to fit this on a regular basis.

I think Pete Ablard fits it too. He'll be along soon..........

Cheers TB, I saw that before about their guarantees.
I levelled a kitchen floor ready for tiling & then the customer decided they were going for Karndean, the floor was bang on & they still came in & out a skim of level on top for the guarantee.

I'm interested and think doing this course will be a good investment so I will be looking into it in a few months I think smltiling should come too lol

I fit quite a bit of it mate, got into it about 6-7 years ago. Basic planks and tiles are easy enough to fit, when you start using design/grout strips, borders etc it becomes a bit trickier. I was subbying for a flooring company doing all the tiling and the bloke who owned it got me into it along with all other vinyls/safety flooring etc....
I've just tried uploading a few pics but it wont let me for some reason??
