Does anyone have Karndean flooring?

Im looking to put this down in my living/dining room and it seems to be gaining excellent reviews. Is it as hard wearing as they claim? is it as 'non slip' as they claim?

And above all, whats it like to fit? I currently have carpet but with marley tile underneath and I'm wondering if it can be fitted straight over the tile?

I'll be buying approximately 22 Square Meters of the stuff so I need to make 100% sure its the right stuff :D

    Just had the conservatory floor done today (~23sqm). Burnt Ginger - slight rough texture not slippery. Nice under foot. The chap said he has not replaced any due to wear - only indivdual panels through damage - droped sharp items can chip out slices of the laminate.

    Have to use the correct glue for the location. Not sure about putting on tiles. We got the specialists in.

    Hi,

    I'm looking at getting c21 sq metres of Karndean oak royale flooring. Does anyone have any idea on how much this costs per sq metre as I can't find any prices on the Karndean website?

    Thanks

    I've had Karndean pitch pine boards down in my kitchen, utility, hallway and downstairs toilet for about 5 years and it still looks like new. I did have it professionally fitted as they had to screed the floor first.
