Benefits of Korlok

From form to function, everything clicks with Korlok

Commercial grade rigid core

Korlok offers the same intricate designs and durability you would expect from any Karndean Designflooring product. In developing this product, we kept the needs of commercial designers and architects in mind.

Can be installed over most existing hard floors and imperfect subfloors with minimal preparation – no adhesive required.
Our proprietary, waterproof K-Core technology provides superior dimensional stability and passes the ASTM test for indentation resistance.
Pre-attached acoustic foam backing makes Korlok our highest acoustically performing product (reducing sound transmission by 22 dB) and eliminates the need for a separate underlayment.
Unlike other rigid core products, the foam backing will not pool water and resists the growth of mold, mildew and bacteria.

We offer two collections of rigid core: Korlok Select and Korlok Reserve, both of which feature all the benefits of Korlok, but in two different size formats and locking mechanisms.
