A polyurethane (PU) protective coating is applied to the top of the five layers - two PVC backing layers, one high-definition photographic layer and finally one clear PVC embossed wear layer. With its waterproof, durable and scratchproof properties, Karndean flooring is a great option for many bathrooms and kitchens to cope with daily wear and tear but can really be used in most rooms in the house. With many options and styles to choose from, you will be spoilt for choice!
