Karndean Monet???

Evening all,

Got a customer who has got a sample of some Karndean which is from a range called Monet (KP78). I have never heard of this range. Is it an old range or a new one? If anyone could shine some light on what it is I would be very grateful

 

Think you mean rp78 which is Japanese maple da Vinci range mate

 

Sorry mate meant to say Monet range

 

Think it's a new range along with reubens

 

Reuben's & monet were/are a range that was/is open to shop accounts only...

 

Isnt KP product code for Knight Tile?

 

If I remember right Reubens was an extension to the Knight Tile range and Monet was the Da Vinci equivalent exclusive to registered dealers as CEA said. Reubens had the prefix KP and Monet RP. I think they just blended them into the regular ranges but I may be wrong

 

Haven't fitted any Monet but it looks just like da Vinci , think its a bit cheaper tho .

 

I think Karndean introduced them years ago in an attempt to appease registered dealers who were ( understandably ) objecting to the availability of the regular ranges online.


They were slightly cheaper.

 

It wasn't available to normal shops. Was only for the shops who invested in the design showroom. They told us it was limited to one shop in each town. To get the showroom you had to pay out about 16k. You could claim it back on a rebate at £1 per meter. I'm pretty sure it's not available anymore.

 

i spoke to KD last yr regardinf these two ranges, they were available to anyone regardless of showroom or not, but were phasing the ranges out.
Doubtfull they available nowadays

 

They are still running it but you need to check stock first as some of the colours are gone. i just sold some this week, Peruvian Pine I think it was. Monet is the exact same spec as Da Vinci.

 

Cheers all, Got to love this forum for info. I will have a word with the customer and try to get her to change her mind.

 

Yeah Wirral carpets ( which has closed) sold it and they had the big showroom. I had many customers showing me samples years ago which I had to buy off Wirral.

 

Hello can anyone advise me if I should avoid this? £22m2

 

Which ?

 

Sorry Karndean Monet or whatever it’s called RP78 and RP74?

I like the wide plank wood effect, with a .55 wear level at the least really. Textured and I’m ok with more traditional colours as I have antiques etc.

Any advice? My head is about to explode!

I just an end user with a need of 75m2 wood effect and 55m2 white tile effect for kitchen area.

Glue down though, I don’t like clic.

 

Avoid knight tile it’s only a .30 wear layer,look for mflor ranges, or m series under the Harvey Maria brand

 

Thank you I will look at them, it’s a minefield for a non trade person.
