WHAT IS - KARNDEAN - AMTICO - LVT - LVP
Karndean, Amtico, LVT (Luxury Vinyl Tiles) and LVP (Luxury Vinyl Planks) are vinyl flooring products made primarily from calcium carbonate (limestone), polyvinyl chloride and pigments.
It is usually structured with five layers – two PVC backing layers, one high definition photographic layer, one clear PVC embossed wear layer and a top polyurethane (PU) protective coating
Deep Cleaning or Strip & Reseal?
It all depends on how long the flooring has been down and how often it's been deep cleaned. Grime builds up gradually and you may not notice this as you see it every day.
Most types of hard flooring only require a deep clean, but if it's been down for 5 years or more, it will benefit from a full strip and reseal.
The dullness experienced with this type of flooring comes from years of wear to the top (PU) protective coat.
Stripping the top layer (PU layer) removes the original protective coating back to the original floor finish and in turn removes the mild scratches causing the dull, worn appearance.
A new polymer (PU) coating is then applied (usually two coats) to protect and enhance the beauty of the flooring.
The new coating provides a hard wearing top coat which will last for years.
DEEP CLEANING:
Deep cleaning involves a mild cleaning solution alongside a heavy duty rotary / scrubbing machine.
The dirt is released and then removed leaving your floors - spotless.
We speed dry the flooring and it will be completely dry by the time we complete the job.
STRIP & RESEAL -
The dullness experienced with many types of hard flooring comes from years of wear to the top, protective coat.
Stripping the top layer (PU layer) removes the original protective coating, back to the original floor finish. The stripping solution is quite aggressive so we mask up all skirting boards and kitchen kick boards to protect them from potential damage.
A new water based polymer (PU) coating is then applied (usually two coats) in either gloss or satin finish, and will protect and enhance the beauty of the flooring.
The new coating provides a hard wearing top coat which will last for many years.
This is a very cost effective process to protect and rejuvenate your flooring.
Karndean and Amtico Flooring
Karndean & Amtico flooring is a beautiful style of flooring that brings an element of class to any home.
However, it is a delicate flooring and can scratch easily and dull over time.
To stop the signs of wear and tear and preserve Karndean and Amtico flooring we recommend implementing a maintenance programme as soon as they are laid.
After a period of 5 years, it is typical for Kardean flooring to require a more intensive cleaning regime, and potentially having the top layer stripped off and a new coat applied.

Karndean & Amtico cleaning & maintenance tips:
- Never use household products as they are very likely to create irreversible damage or yellowing patches on your floor.
- Dust mop frequently to remove dry soils and particles; this will prevent scratches and general dulling.
- Use a flat microfiber mop for damp mopping, not the traditional cotton string mop that leaves streaks.
- Always use PH neutral floor cleaning products.

Customers Review:
John & Sharron. Nunthorpe August 2024 - WOW!! What a difference half a day makes!! Rick worked his magic on our Karndean flooring. Especially in the kitchen where he cleaned and resealed. Lounge and hall were clean only but, having seen the kitchen, Rick is going to be asked back to reseal the rest. Excellent work by a true professional and gentleman at a very affordable price. Thank you
