Default Question regarding Kitchen Renovation - order of installation.


wrote in message
...

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 !!

Cabinets first, but put them on some material about the same thickness as
the tile, especially the dishwasher. If you are using cheap flooring, you
can put it first, but if you are using expensive tile, why waste a few
hundred bucks under the cabinets?
