Default Question regarding Kitchen Renovation - order of installation.

On Aug 18, 7:29*am, wrote:
When renovating a kitchen using ceramic tile as flooring..... *are the
base cabinets installed in place *and then the ceramic tile, * or is
the entire floor finished first and then the base cabinets put into
place. * *

How is the dishwasher handled... * if ceramic tile is installed up
to the front of the dishwasher, * it blocks the dishwasher
in....however if tile is installed under the dishwasher... it
creates problems with the countertop height.

Just curious...

Thanks in advance !!

Finish the entire floor and leave no empty spots. Then install your
cabinets on top of the flooring. That solves all your problems and
allows future changes to your cabinet layout without having to hunt
down possibly discontinued floor tiles. Plus, putting flooring
everywhere adds a measure of water resistance that is needed in any
kitchen.
