Kitchen flooring has to cope with regular traffic, cleaning and the practical demands of a working kitchen. It also needs to be coordinated with cabinets, plinths, appliances and adjoining floor levels.
Planning kitchen flooring
The existing subfloor, chosen finish and installation method determine the preparation required. The decision about whether flooring runs beneath units or is installed around them should be made before the kitchen programme is finalised.
Coordinate the installation sequence
Floor levels can affect appliance clearances, plinth heights and transitions to adjacent rooms. Confirm the finished build-up before fitting reaches the final stages.
