About us
From our home...
It all began in 1973 when a former flooring installer created a small business from his family home. With the belief that luxury vinyl flooring shouldn't just be practical, it needed to be beautiful as well, Karndean was formed. The team set out to travel the world, seeking inspiration from natural materials for what now are the most realistic luxury vinyl flooring products on the market.
The Karndean team worked out of that house for several years with the family's trusty dog Smokey, the Great Dane who is still present on Karndean’s logo today. For the family and Karndean’s early employees —many who are still working with us today — these years bring back many fond memories. Now stretching across the globe, far beyond the walls of the original house, we continue to move forward with the same passion to deliver beautiful, innovative designs for your home.
