Wood decors deliver for traditionalistas and fashionistas
Warm Brushed Oak from Karndean
“We’ve always been recognised for the intricate beauty of our wood designs, and our Van Gogh collection offers our widest selection of natural wood hues with cool neutral, grey and warm tones,” explains Stella Coyle, national retail sales manager of Karndean Designflooring.
She said: “The latest update has also seen us offer the same wood designs in a gluedown and rigid core format, allowing more flexibility to select the best fixing type for your space.
“The designs encompass some of our most celebrated hues including classic Country Oak, traditional French Oak and Scandi Blush Oak in a gluedown and rigid core option for the first time.”
After the successes Victoria Design Floors has seen with the Distinctive Landscape Wildwood Click range, the company has now upgraded the spec of its Universal Click products too.
Their range of Universal 55 rigid click now comes with a built-in foam pad removing the need for a seperate underlay saving you both installation time and component costs. Benefits for the end users include higher sound reduction properties (now 20dB V’s 8dB on the previous click with no foam pad). Universal 55 is a collection of 14 wood and 4 stone designs featuring a 2G click system, topped with an embossed 0.55mm wear layer.
The appetite for wooden LVT designs shows no sign of diminishing which is why the company also introduced 4 new parquet colours to the dry back range at the end of 2019. Also available in a full-length plank (7.25” x 48”) these colours work brilliantly together or on their own.

Consumers are becoming bolder with their interior choices and mixing colours together like this is a sure fire way to stamp their mark on a room.
The dramatic entry of
Invictus into the LVT market in 2019 stimulated huge interest among retailers, building on the strength of Associated Weaver’s carpet brands. High profile marketing and sophisticated POS have driven its vinyl sales very successfully ever since.

Leoline’s Timberline cushion vinyl collection captures the very latest trends, as well as some surprising interpretations that prove just how versatile the latest generation of wood vinyl can be.
With herringbone, limewashed, wide planks, reclaimed, rustic and strip effects, Timberline certainly covers the bases of modern wood looks. The collection’s plank effects are rooted in the influence of Scandinavian design with options such as Oslo, Helsinki and Copenhagen. Herringbone is also a strong part of the collection with limewashed and grey variants of Leoline’s Marilyn design along with the reclaimed look of Lido.

Cabana is a surprising and interesting wood décor overlaid with a pattern relief on a reclaimed look plank. Along with the fine wood strips of Wander, its unusual approach underlines the depth and variety of wood designs available in Timberline. But the collection is not just focused on design, bearing all the hallmarks of a quality cushion vinyl floor. Equipped with Leoline’s Superguard technology that fights off stains and dirt and makes it easy to clean, Timberline is ideal for today’s family homes.
Add in R11 slip-resistance, as well as a finish that’s impervious to water, and Timberline is a great way to introduce the natural look of wood in bathrooms and kitchens, while the long 15-year warranty and multiple widths make it a great choice in living spaces and hallways.
