Flooring Superstore is pleased to announce that 20 regional stores have commenced a trial run as stockists of luxury Karndean LVT flooring.
Customers will have access to the popular Korlok Regent by Palio Express range – a sub-brand of Karndean; respected for combining style, durability, and practicality. Following a post-trial consultation period, Karndean will potentially find permanent residency across all 50 of Flooring Superstore’s current locations.
“This trial marks an exciting step for Flooring Superstore as we expand our in-store offering with one of the most recognisable names in luxury vinyl flooring”, Chief Logistics Officer, Nick Bisicker, explained.
“By bringing Karndean into selected locations, customers will have the opportunity to view the range up close, compare styles in person, and get expert guidance from showroom teams before making a purchase.”
Flooring Superstore and Karndean (why it's such a big thing)
Introducing Karndean products within selected Flooring Superstore locations showcases a remarkable move for both customers and business.
Karndean remains a well-known and trusted name in flooring, and demand for design-led, hardwearing luxury vinyl options continues to grow. Trialling the range in-store gives customers easy access to Karndean products within the established Flooring Superstore setting, creating a sophisticated powerhouse of choice and assistance that goes unmatched in this sector.
The introduction of Korlok Regent by Palio Express also reflects Flooring Superstore’s continued focus on offering products that balance great looks, everyday durability and straightforward installation. The brand remains perfect for busy homes and modern living.
By mating the two respected brands, customers can now see, feel and compare premium flooring in person, rather than relying solely on online images and chance.

About Flooring Superstore
Launched as an online flooring retailer by Dan Foskett and Michael Roy during 2012, Flooring Superstore quickly found success before moving towards a hybrid model – combining online purchasing with physical showrooms.
It wasn’t long before investment in delivery operations and fitment services provided the full package. With constant development of new high-quality products and growth of a loyal delivery network offering high service standards, Flooring Superstore now leads the market with a wide range of flooring options – from carpet and vinyl to wood, laminate flooring, artificial grass, composite decking, and tiles – that suits every style and situation you can think of.
The company continues to reach new heights, with a landmark 50th store opened in Hove during the latter half of 2025. Further ranges, stores, and services are upon the horizon, leading to an exciting future for the Flooring Superstore brand. Watch this space!
