Frequently Asked Questions
Is Karndean Van Gogh Rigid Core LVT waterproof?
Yes, absolutely. Like all Karndean LVT, the Van Gogh Rigid Core range is 100% waterproof, making it suitable for installation in any room, including areas prone to moisture like bathrooms and kitchens.
How easy is Karndean click LVT like Van Gogh Rigid Core to install?
Karndean's rigid core click LVT system is designed for ease of installation. The planks lock together simply without needing adhesive. If you have a suitable flat, hard subfloor and follow the instructions carefully, it's often manageable for experienced DIYers.
How quiet is acoustic LVT like Van Gogh Rigid Core?
Van Gogh Rigid Core provides significant sound reduction due to its pre-attached acoustic backing. It can reduce impact noise (like footsteps) travelling between floors substantially (often cited up to 19dB), contributing to a much quieter and more peaceful home environment compared to floors without this feature.
Do I need separate underlay for Van Gogh Rigid Core flooring?
No, separate underlay should not be used. Karndean Van Gogh Rigid Core planks have their acoustic and comfort backing built-in. Adding extra underlay can interfere with the click-locking mechanism's stability and may void the Karndean lifetime guarantee.
