Hi all,

Just finishing off our DIY kitchen install and trying to decide the best
order to fit the end panels and do the tiling.

We're tiling all the splashbacks between the worktops and the wall
cupboards. As I see it I'll either need to tile then trim and fit the
end panels around the tiles, or fit the end panels and tile around them.
I can see both being okay but wondering if people have any good
reasons for doing one over the other.

Thanks,
Richard.

Tiles cut to match and then grouted where they meet the panel looks best
IMHO.

Are these panels chipboard? My feeling about that is that no matter what you
do wetness gets in and makes the surfaces balloon quit quickly near the cut
edge.

I estapolled the edges and that worked fine.

You need your big mouth "estapolled", senile bigmouth!

I'd hope wall cupboards don't routinely get soaked.
