Cabinets Over Floating Floor

Question i have had a couple of installs recently and the floating laminate floor has been lifted for cab installation.

Cabinets over floating floor. However you can put appliances fridge washer dryer etc on top of the vinyl plank flooring. Typically cabinets come before flooring. We do not recommend putting click lock vinyl flooring under cabinets as the floating floor needs to be able to expand and contract. Install plywood in remaining area to exact height of tile floor to finish cabinet install.

Cabinets over a floating floor can cabinets be installed directly on a floating floor or should the flooring be cut away. The proper installation would be to install the cabinets and then install the flooring around the cabinets. Putting cabinets directly on the concrete is the best option for your cabinets and for your flooring. Those are all good reasons to lay a kitchen floor after the cabinets are in.

Seal the edges of a piece of 3 by 3 foot plastic sheeting onto the floor with duct tape. After 24 hours. Cabinets are not recommended to be installed over a floating floor especially cabinets that have a heavy granite counter top. Put all the base cabinets in place then mark a line on the subfloor corresponding to the front edge of the toekick.

Floor covering or finish flooring is the surface that you see and walk on not the subfloor under the underlayment or underlayment between subfloor and finished layer. Install tile under cabinets and floor based appliances with a 2 inset this allows you to move the pattern and grout lines where needed. In most cases given standard flooring heights you will install the cabinets before the floor covering. Installing the cabinets on the flooring could bind the floor due to the weight of the cabinets.

But if you have to install the flooring first here s a method that will avoid some of the problems i just described.
