2020/9/25 10:27:48

Kitchen decoration is different from living room and bedroom, it is not so decorative, but it may be more strict in details. After all, the kitchen is the place where we usually cook, if the details are not handled well, it may bring a lot of trouble in the future! For example, what is better for us to do first, tile flooring or cabinet installation? In the pursuit to create the ideal kitchen, you may be wondering whether to install floors or cabinets first during a kitchen renovation. Here’s a look at the pros and cons of either order.

Which Came First, Kitchen Floors Or Cabinets?

As we all know, when the kitchen cabinet is installed, it is generally customized after measuring the size. The accuracy of this size is very important, otherwise, it will affect the beauty. But to be accurate, we have to install kitchen tiles flooring first, because tiles are also a part of the factors that affect the measurement. But after the tiles are laid, the installation of water and electricity will become very difficult, because we can't reserve a good position for it, so it is very contradictory!

In fact, if you want to solve this problem, it is not that there is no way. Before customizing the cabinet, we will definitely ask the manufacturer to come and measure the size. During the measurement, we can communicate with the surveyors and tell them what you think. For example, you want to install kitchen tiles first, then install the cabinet, and ask them to sketch the installation of the cabinet. After you get the sketch, you can communicate with the hydropower master to see where it is convenient to reserve water and electricity pipelines. In this way, first lay tile and then install the cabinet, it will not affect your decoration too much!

Install Tile Floor First

Pros:

  • Install kitchen floor tiles first can avoid having to cut the material around cabinets and appliances.
  • What’s more, some worry that by installing cabinets first, it will be harder to switch them out in the future, as you’ll be stuck with the same cabinet footprint you had before.
  • Putting tile flooring down beneath base cabinets offers a clean look and saves you from having to install quarter rounds with your cabinets.

Cons:

  • Installing the floors under the cabinets, wastes flooring materials. You won’t see the flooring beneath your cabinets and appliances.
  • If you replace the flooring at a later date, you’d have to take out the cabinets as well. This makes for a costly renovation down the road for you or future homeowners.
  • The material you choose may also affect the order of your installation. If you choose to install wood, it will expand and contract with changing temperature and moisture, and it needs room for this process.
  • Installing floors beneath your cabinets could cause wood to buckle when it tries to expand. This will damage your new floor.

Install Kitchen Cabinets First

Pros

  • Starting with cabinets allows you to avoid wasting time and money on flooring.
  • You’re less likely to damage your new floors by starting with cabinets – if you have your new floors down and add cabinets, you run the risk of scratching or denting them during installation.

Cons

  • By starting with cabinets, you should always renovate your kitchen in the future.
  • Additionally, you’ll have to cut your flooring to fit around the base cabinets, which makes installation more expensive and time-consuming. - Built-in appliances will be trapped in place as long as you have this flooring. You’re basically cornering them with your flooring material, making switching built-ins much harder.

After reading the article, have you decided which to install first, kitchen floor tile or cabinets? As we know, there are pros and cons in choosing to install floors or kitchen cabinets first. But for me, if there mus be an answer, it's to tile kitchen floor first and then install the cabinet.
