Why choose Palio by Karndean Rigid flooring?

With its click-lock mechanism and rigid core construction, Palio Rigid provides DIY-friendly installation without adhesives. The integrated underlay offers 19dB sound reduction, whilst the waterproof design and 20-year warranty ensure lasting performance throughout your home.

How is Palio Rigid installed?

Palio Rigid uses a simple click-lock system that requires no adhesive or underlay. Simply click the planks together at an angle, ensuring the short edges connect first before lowering the long edge into place. The rigid core provides stability whilst allowing for quick, clean installation.

Can Palio Rigid be installed over existing floors?

Yes, Palio Rigid can be installed directly over most existing hard floor surfaces, provided they’re level and stable. The 4.5mm thickness with integrated underlay compensates for minor subfloor imperfections, making it ideal for renovation projects.

Does Palio Rigid require expansion gaps?

Yes, like most click-lock flooring, Palio Rigid requires a 5mm expansion gap around the room perimeter to allow for natural expansion and contraction. These gaps can be covered with matching scotia beading or skirting boards for a professional finish.

Where can Palio Rigid be used?

Thanks to its waterproof properties and robust construction, Palio Rigid is suitable for any room in your home. The excellent acoustic performance makes it particularly well-suited for upstairs rooms, whilst the durability handles high-traffic areas with ease.
