On the back of our recent supplier partnership with Karndean Flooring, which led to us stock a selection of their Palio Core range, we're delighted to announce that we're now stocking eight flooring options from their new 'Next-Gen Palio Rigid' range.
Designed with homeowners, renovators and trade professionals in mind, the new Palio Rigid range introduces a stronger, more stable core construction, delivering enhanced resilience and long-lasting performance across residential and commercial environments. The collection is now rated for commercial use, offering greater flexibility for a wider range of projects.
Building on the success of previous Palio collections, the Next-Gen Palio Rigid range features an expanded selection of wood and stone-inspired designs, including new plank and tile formats. From rustic oak textures to contemporary limed finishes and elegant stone effects, the collection is crafted to complement diverse interior styles.
At the heart of the innovation is Karndean's upgraded rigid core technology, which improves dimensional stability and helps conceal minor subfloor imperfections. The flooring also incorporates a user-friendly click-locking mechanism, enabling fast, adhesive-free installation without the need for specialist tools-making it an ideal solution for both DIY projects and professional installations.
The new Palio Rigid range also enhances comfort and practicality in everyday living. With integrated acoustic backing, it reduces impact noise transfer by up to 19dB, while its fully waterproof construction ensures suitability for all rooms in the home, including kitchens and bathrooms.
"Today's customers are looking for flooring that not only looks beautiful but also performs effortlessly in busy, real-world environments," says Kevin Cashmore, our National Sales Manager. "The next-generation Palio Rigid collection has been designed to deliver on all fronts-style, durability and ease of installation-making it a complete flooring solution for modern interiors."
Backed by a 25-year residential and 10-year commercial warranty, the collection provides long-term peace of mind alongside its aesthetic and functional benefits.
The Next-Gen Palio Rigid collection is available here, alongside the Palio Core collection.
