- Is Karndean Korlok really waterproof?
- Yes. The rigid core and click-lock joints are rated waterproof, so splashes in kitchens and bathrooms are fine. Standing water left for long periods can still work into seams, so wipe spills up.
- Can I install it over existing tile?
- Only if the old tile is sound, flat and firmly bonded. Grout lines and lippage can telegraph through the rigid core, so most fitters level the floor first.
- Does it need glue or underlay?
- No glue. The planks click together and the backing is pre-attached, so no separate underlay is needed on most subfloors. Check the maker's guidance for your subfloor type.
- How does it compare with glue-down LVT?
- Korlok is faster to fit, easier to lift and more forgiving of minor movement. Glue-down LVT sits flatter and thinner and costs less per square foot, but it is permanent.
- Can I use it in a bathroom with a shower?
- It suits bathroom floors with normal splashes, but it is not a waterproofing membrane. For a wet-room shower, seal the substrate properly first.
- Can I replace a single damaged tile?
- Usually yes. Because it floats and clicks, a damaged plank can be cut out and a new one fitted, though matching a faded batch can be tricky.
