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! JMB |

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.

everything is off the shelf, no point making something that someone can make cheaper and better than yourself. They are a laquer finish door and the finish is very good high gloss

Sound!
Surprised the floor didnt go down before the work top returns went on the sides now you have to try and cut round them but then how do you leave a expansion gap
