The Palio Trade by Karndean collection, introduced in April, has proved extremely popular so we are pleased to announce we are expanding the Palio Rigid range with an additional contemporary wood design. An easy-fit flooring that will complement any room style, Tavolara (PVP144-SCB) offers a beautiful blend of warm blonde tones. Whether you combine its authentic wood look with a minimalist white scheme, earthy browns or the latest bold and cheerful colours, Tavolara will give a comfortable, natural finish. Suitable for any room in the home, from kitchens and living rooms to bathrooms and bedrooms, the Palio Rigid collection offers you a realistic look of wood flooring but without any of the practical drawbacks.
Discover easy-fit flooring
With the quality of a name you can trust, Palio flooring is designed for the trade to fit and doesn’t require specialist skills or tools. In most situations, a sharp utility knife is all that is needed. Palio Rigid is a durable flooring with a click-locking mechanism that is easy to install without the need for adhesive or additional underlay. With a robust rigid core construction, Palio Rigid is suitable for installation over uneven subfloors, existing tiles and boards or new subfloors that are still drying.
Perfect for busy homes
Featuring an integrated acoustic backing that can reduce noise transfer to rooms below by 19dB, Palio Rigid is a great choice for multilevel apartments and upstairs rooms such as playrooms, home offices and loft conversions. Warm and comfortable underfoot, Palio flooring is also compatible with underfloor heating systems for extra cosiness during the cooler months. Ideal for rooms which are subject to humidity or spills, from kitchens and bathrooms to playrooms and hallways, Palio Rigid is hard wearing, waterproof and will not warp or chip. A protective surface treatment leaves no place to hide for dirt, bacteria and allergens, making this a safe flooring option that is easy to keep hygienically clean.
Finishing touches
When fitting rigid core flooring without removing the skirting board, we recommend using a scotia. Attached to the skirting board, the scotia will hide the expansion gap needed around the perimeter of the room. To give your installation that perfect finish, we are also now stocking 100% colour matched scotias for all the Palio Rigid designs.
