    This is a picture about 5 years ago in my old house.
    Dont worry its empty.
    Anyway The floor in backround is Karndean I think, It was 3mm thick & 3" wide.
    Not many colours but decent stuff, I used to lay alot of it in 90's
    Does anyone remember it?

    That's exactly what it is. There are six wood colours and five stone colours. The wood colours come in 3" x 36" bevelled (like DaVinci) or 7" x 48" (like Van Gogh) and the price is not much more than Knight Tile. The drawback is they are sold by the pallet aimed at the commercial market. If I had some space (and spare cash) I'd but a couple of pallets of popular colours and I think they'd shift quite quickly.

    Its Picasso I have to wonder do Karndean think everyone is dumb I mean come on they could've come up with a better name than that to undersell themselves, just take a moment to think about the names in their range you have Davinci, Michelangelo, Renoir, Van Gogh, all fammous artists and now you got Art Select who ever he was. Someone at Karndean has a real ponchant for fammous artists.
    And those guys never even done floors just paintings and fancy ceilings.

    Maybe the name Karndean is an anagram of an unknown artist such as Dean Rank or Arden Kan or even Ked Ranan.

    I'm sure that it was named after the big dog that advertises it on the label
