Is that the finished floor?  If not, how are they going to finish under the cabinets?  

why under the cabinets?  

Often units are fitted before the flooring goes down  two main reasons!   1. To save on cost of flooring as you need less of it and less work!  2. you can work with out worrying your going to damage the floor.
Then once the flooring is fitted a plinth board(kickboard) is fitted under the units so you cant see underneath



I prefer flooring to be fitted before installing the kitchen.   1. If they get a new kitchen or change the layout of the kitchen at least the flooring runs through and they wont have to redo the entire flooring unless they where lucky and could find a match to finish the flooring off at the time but thats very unlikely.   2. I think it can be quicker laying the floor as their is less cutting round and you have a free open space to work to lay the flooring.


I always want the flooring to be fitting right through where the dishwasher,washing-machine, fridge,freezer go as it makes it easier to get them in and out and sometimes they have little adjustment and need packing up if the flooring does not run through.

The flooring choice could also come into play.  In Europe - where the floating / laminate floor originated - you would not want to install your cabinets on the floor to allow the floor to "float" without the weight trapping it.  Those floors are also typically pre finished.

The tools in my truck were talking the other day.  The Dewalts, PC's, Boschs, Makitas were not happy.  They also were in the minority.  Their complaint:  They felt unused and unappreciated since the Festools moved in.  I guess the truth hurts.

Yes forgot to mention that one!   Yeah the floor needs to move freely and so has to be installed after!      I did a kitchen and a floating floor not to long ago so I should of remembered!

I get the cost cutting measure, but this point doesn't make sense to me.  Surely you can put furniture on laminate floor; wouldn't that have the same effect? 

I really enjoy the international aspect of this board.  Seeing how people build things in other places is pretty cool!  I also enjoy learning all the different terminology associated with construction.

yeah it is dont to the flooring which was going to be amtico/karnden but after i fitted it and came back a week later to finish a few bits they said we have decided to go for an engineered floor. hmmm this means the units are the wrong height and i would have prefered it in first, never mind. i always prefer the flooring to go in first but it is always a cost thing in my experience.

Its engineered so not to bad!         But I had a solid floor fail by just leaving expansion on side only.

I won't be doing that again!

Thing i didnt like was the dead size end panels so they have a gap as scribing to get them back might impact on appliances but i dont know because they aint there.

I hate end panels dead on size!  Who ever decided that was a good idea are a complete IDIOT! and need shooting really! they need their head kicking in!

any way!   In the past I have made a feature out of it by  sticking a 40mm or so piece of end panel to scribe to the wall and then stick another 40mm or what ever you want at the front but have it set back  then stick the dead on size panel on top looks quite nice!  BUT you do end up needing to get another end panel to cut up other ways to get around it but CAULK is not the option if its above 5mm  Big Grin

Sorry about the rant, i would love to replace it, pity the plasterer cant bloody dab the walls straight, it suddenly bends away jus before the last unit, we scribed them back so far but looking at the appliances its was getting too tight so customer made the choice. Its only 500mm long so its not massive.

I always expect the room to be as bent as £9 note, that way im pleasantly surprised if I can set my worktop jig with a square instead of a bevel. Finished a flat in rotherhithe last week where the old kitchen wall cabs were just screwed to the plasterboard no expansion anchors or even standard plaserboard fixings. The fact its lasted 20yrs is a miracle.

They never vented the intergrated fridge/freezer which scortched all the plasterboard behind it and they plumbed in a washing machine infront of a smashed socket. Complete deathtrap.

Back wall was 25mm batten masonry nailed to cast concerete with plasterboard nailed to it which was as solid as a cup of soup.

Its a shame most of the building trade are utterly useless.

Always the way. As a joiner we've had it with knobs making things in there garden shed for next to nothing now we have joinery being made in eastern europe and even china on big jobs. Chippys have always had to put up with the handyman bodgers. Its just nice to have enough work on to be able to tell people that if they want it done properly thats what it will cost. If you want it cheap your on your own.
