What are some common problems with Karndean flooring? Common problems with Karndean flooring include installation requiring very flat subfloor, potential for indentation from heavy furniture, fading with direct sunlight over many years, and higher price than budget LVP, plus glue-down installation needing professional and adhesive issues if not done properly. Common problems with Karndean LVT: subfloor must be very flat and smooth, as Karndean glue-down shows imperfections if subfloor not level, requiring self-leveling compound costing extra. Indentation from heavy furniture or appliances can occur as vinyl is softer than tile, needing furniture pads. Fading with intense direct sunlight over 10 plus years if no window protection, as with all vinyl. Higher price 4 to 8 dollars per square foot materials makes it expensive versus LifeProof at 2 to 3 dollars. Glue-down installation requires professional and if adhesive not applied correctly planks can lift. Also, Karndean can be slippery when wet if not textured, and seams may show if not installed well. So common problems are subfloor prep needed, indentation risk, potential fading in sun, high cost, and professional installation needed for glue-down, though overall Karndean has good reviews with few complaints, with most problems related to installation not product itself, making proper installation key to avoiding problems with Karndean.
