Karndean flooring

[Stef]

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.

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

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??

Be nice to see some of your work matey!!
Your right about it getting tricky with grout lines strips insets etc..
you might of heard of Poly floor and Vusta I also use these vinyls, Half the price of Karndean/Amtico and just as good.
Don't know about you but the biggest tip I would give when laying this type of flooring is to let the glue get really sticky before laying any tiles.
Here's a couple more pics of other vinyl floors Ive done.
