Each of the collection's six new woods has a cool and understated palette that helps to stage a neutral backdrop for commercial projects. From the light grey hue of Bridgeport LLP157, and the pale blonde shade of Hamden LLP156, to the ashy brown of Fairfield LLP155, the new additions offer modern neutrals with an on-trend pastel undertone.

Available now, the collection also features two new stone designs; the natural slate look of Dakota LLT212 and light stone effect of Maine LLT213.

Popular in commercial environments for its stylish designs and easy-fit approach, Karndean LooseLay is an innovative format of luxury vinyl flooring, boasting enhanced acoustic properties and excellent environmental credentials.

The collection's large scale planks and tiles combined with the fact that its quick and easy to fit, means reduced downtime and installation costs — perfect for busy office, retail and education environments. It can also be installed over most hard floors as long as the planks are dry, smooth, sound and dust-free.

Its cutting-edge acoustic properties also deliver sound control and reduced background noise pollution that is aligned to international building codes for multi-rise design and development.

"Architects, interior designers and contractors are seeing the benefits of specifying Karndean LooseLay in place of traditional carpet tiles, ceramic tiles and laminate in commercial areas, and it's continuing to grow from strength to strength in the marketplace," commented Damien Boyer, Head of Commercial Sales at Karndean Designflooring.

He said: "The new designs are a welcome addition and reflect the trends we're seeing for natural and minimalist design in hospitality, retail and residential environments. The collection is not only design-led, but independent testing shows that Karndean LooseLay continues to lead the way in acoustic vinyl flooring."

With a 20 year commercial warranty, the complete Karndean LooseLay collection will now feature 24 wood, eight stone and two textile designs.
