Project overview

The goal, materials, and finished scope.

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.
