Tile Kitchen Before Installing Cabinets

The flooring contractor will not have to work around existing cabinetry so the work can go that much faster.
Installing the floors before the cabinets has some advantages. It looks much cleaner to put the cabs in before the tile. If you have saved spare tiles finish laying the floor up to the wall and then install your new cabinets. In some european countries it is customary to install the backsplash first extending a bit below lower cabinets and above upper cabinet bottom line and then.
Finally install the cabinets on both strips. For this reason some experts recommend installing wood floors after you finish your cabinets. Installing the tile before the cabinetry means additional square footage for the installer but less detail and trim work. I ve been searching the internet and all english speaking web sites state that the backsplash should be tiled after installing the kitchen cabinets both lower and upper and countertops.
If you lay the tiles up to the cabinets and in future want to replace the cabinets all you have to do is cut along the grout lines of the partial tiles and smash them out. The finish can be applied after the cabinet installation lessening concerns about marring the floors during the remodel. When to install flooring before cabinets if due to design circumstances for example an odd appliance height or construction anomaly your total flooring height will need to be elevated and finished higher than normal two inches or more consider installing flooring before putting in the kitchen cabinets and appliances. Installing the tile before the cabinetry means the newly installed tile floor will likely be the workbench for the other trades involved in the project as well as being susceptible to abuse and damage.
