Why choose Palio by Karndean LooseLay flooring?

With its unique K-Wave™ friction grip backing, Palio LooseLay requires no adhesive or clicking for installation. Individual planks can be easily replaced if damaged, whilst the waterproof design and 20-year warranty ensure reliable, long-lasting performance.

How is Palio LooseLay installed?

Palio LooseLay simply lays flat on your prepared subfloor, held in place by friction grip backing. Tackifier adhesive is applied in a grid pattern around room perimeters and every 4 metres for added stability. No expansion gaps, clicking, or full adhesive coverage needed.

Can individual planks be replaced?

Yes, one of LooseLay’s key advantages is the ability to lift and replace individual planks without disturbing the surrounding floor. This makes it ideal for rental properties or areas where future access to underfloor services might be required.

Is LooseLay suitable for large areas?

Palio LooseLay is perfect for both small and large areas. The grid-stick method using tackifier ensures stability in larger spaces, whilst the friction grip backing maintains plank position during daily use.

Where can Palio LooseLay be used?

Thanks to its waterproof properties and flexible installation, Palio LooseLay suits any room in your home. It’s particularly beneficial in rental properties, temporary installations, or areas where you might need future access to the subfloor.
