Why choose Palio by Karndean Core flooring?

With its premium 6.5mm thickness and 0.5mm wear layer, Palio Core offers the ultimate in durability and authentic appearance. The click-lock installation is DIY-friendly, whilst the waterproof construction and 20-year warranty provide peace of mind for years to come.

How is Palio Core installed?

What formats are available in Palio Core?

Palio Core offers planks, tiles, and herringbone formats, with many designs available in multiple configurations. This versatility allows you to create unique floor layouts, mixing formats for feature areas or maintaining consistency throughout your home.

Is Palio Core suitable for commercial use?

Where can Palio Core be installed?

Thanks to its waterproof properties and robust construction, Palio Core is suitable for every room in your home. The premium thickness makes it ideal for ground-floor installations, whilst the acoustic properties benefit upstairs rooms equally well.
