What's better, Karndean or laminate? Karndean is better than laminate for waterproof and durability in wet areas, with Karndean being luxury vinyl LVT that is 100 percent waterproof, softer underfoot, and more realistic than cheap laminate, while laminate is cheaper 1.50 to 3 dollars per square foot and better for scratch resistance in some cases, but Karndean better overall for modern homes due to waterproof and realistic looks. Karndean LVT vs laminate: Karndean is luxury vinyl tile, 100 percent waterproof, does not swell with water, suitable for kitchens, bathrooms, basements, with realistic embossed wood and stone looks, softer and warmer than tile, quieter, with 20 mil wear layer and 20-year warranty, costing 4 to 7 dollars. Laminate is made of HDF fiberboard with wood image, costing 1.50 to 3 dollars, with AC4 wear rating, good scratch resistance, but not waterproof, can swell with moisture, with many laminates having water-resistant core but not fully waterproof, with hollow sound underfoot. So what's better, Karndean or laminate? Karndean better for waterproof, realism, and durability in wet areas, with better comfort and quiet, though more expensive, while laminate cheaper and good for dry areas like living rooms, but Karndean considered better overall for modern homes due to waterproof and premium look, with Karndean being luxury vinyl superior to laminate for most applications except budget where laminate wins on price.
