As a family business, we stay true to our roots
The Walker family founded Karndean Designflooring in 1973, and have since been highly involved in the growth and development of the company.
The Walkers are founders and owners of Karndean
and Designflooring, not merely shareholders, and
this permanency of ownership is a major benefit to
the character and philosophy of the company and its
future. The Walker family are passionate about the
product and this sentiment runs through everything
we do, from early product development through to
our marketing, customer service and sales support.
Their values have helped to form our company
mission statement and brand values.

Our core purpose
Nature is our inspiration and the start of a journey to adapt, perfect and
deliver products that are durable, beautiful and liveable.
Inspired by nature, we make the functional stylish.
5
At Karndean, we recognise the need for individuality. That’s why we promote the concept of stylish yet easy to create Designflooring. With a wide range of products inspired by the look and textures of natural woods and stones, we offer our customers more than just a floor. We offer them something bespoke, unique and personal - a design floor.
The essence of what we do
Through meticulous attention to detail and careful selection of the most beautiful and inspiring natural woods and stones, we offer a beautifully realistic yet practical alternative to natural wood and stone. Each plank is handcrafted to reflect the unique knots and grains of natural timber and each tile to reflect the unique look and textures of real stone, without the practical drawbacks.
