Karndean Opus Terra Kitchen with Ultraply Preparation

In August 2026, Floors Now completed a 265-square-foot kitchen flooring project in New Britain. The crew removed the old kitchen flooring, installed Ultraply underlayment, used Planiprep SC for surface preparation, moved two appliances, and adhered Karndean Opus Terra SP212 LVT across the kitchen. Fourteen pieces of cove base, one reducer, one threshold or end cap, and one stair nose at the kitchen-to-landing edge completed the work. The adjoining landing and stairs were not part of the flooring installation.

New Britain flooring FAQ

Questions to settle before installation day.

Was the old kitchen flooring removed?

Yes. Floors Now removed the old kitchen flooring before installing the new underlayment and gluedown LVT system.

What preparation was used for this New Britain kitchen?

After removal, Floors Now installed Ultraply underlayment and used Planiprep SC before adhering 265 square feet of Karndean Opus Terra SP212. The appropriate preparation varies with the conditions exposed after removal and the selected flooring system.

Can appliance moving be included in a kitchen flooring project?

It can when the appliances, access, utility connections, floor height, and responsibilities are reviewed in advance. This New Britain project included moving two appliances for the kitchen installation.

How are stair noses, reducers, and end caps selected?

Transition details depend on the floor-height change, adjoining surface, exposed edge, and selected flooring system. This project used a stair nose at the kitchen-to-landing edge, plus one reducer and one threshold or end cap. No flooring was installed on the landing or stairs.

Is gluedown LVT suitable for kitchens?

Many LVT products are designed for residential kitchen use, but product-specific substrate, adhesive, moisture, temperature, installation, and care requirements still apply. A water-resistant flooring surface does not waterproof the room or subfloor.
