    I've been having trouble with customers getting back to me who had the Karndean Looselay fitted when we were told it was "LOOSELAY" and it has now started curling at the edges, has anyone else had this problem and what have Karndean done about it?

    you have to full stick. I find tacky doesn't even work. Pointless product threw them books out ages ago and steer my clients away from it like amtico.

    Same as Dazza it's a nightmare. They replaced a 40sqm job for us. But still has problems. It's in existing karndean. Now have problems with a 70sqm job. It's not fit for perpose.

    Rubbish product, you need a screeded floor and to tacki the lot, so you may as well just use traditional!

    Went to italy for holiday a few weeks ago, went into in a nice clothes shop and it was all curling on the edges. I thought someone said it was a product that worked well in Europe.

    Yeah fitted some on concrete. Looked dreadful. Could see how up and down it was once finished and loads didn't stick. Karndean said the concrete wasn't smoothe enough so the edges we're proud.

    Thought to myself if it can't go on thst then what can it go on. It can go on the skip!

    You need to use contact spray on the ends just to help it to stick on the floor and grove the bottom end of the material next to the skirting or wall.

    F46 it down works a lot better.
    Just done a load of polyflor Simplay which I found better.
