Do Hardwood Floors Go Under Kitchen Cabinets
Camila Farah
Since it is much more likely to have some type of cabinet upgrade rather than actually needing to remove the hardwood i would install the hardwood wall to wall and install cabinets over it.
But cabinet installers use levels hardwood installers do not. This can be taken care of if the trim carpenter scribes the toe kick to the contour of the finished floor. The actual extra amount of hardwood used under the cabinet area is minimal and will make installation easier and faster than working around the cabinet footprint. If you are going with a floating floor you can just butt the floor up against the cabinets under the kicker.
This saves you the hassle of measuring and reduces the risk of error. It also saves you the hassle of cutting the planks of your hardwood flooring in exact measurements once the cabinets are installed. In this job all the wood floors were installed before the baseboard door casings and kitchen cabinets when the home was built about ten years ago. However it may be best to completely remove the old kitchen floor covering and expose the subfloor.
Take the time to install the kitchen floor everywhere except under the cabinets. Installing kitchen base cabinets before flooring can be a money saving advantage. You ll potentially use less finish flooring. There are arguments for not having the flooring under the cabinets at all if it s floating flooring the cabinets on top pin that part of the flooring to the floor so it does not float in that case you d stop 1 4 1 8 from the toe kick at the front of the cabinet.
