OOOPs!!!!! sorry about the spelling It wont let me edit :(
We always put the flooring in first if the space was a total gut job. Makes for a better "level playing field" so to speak. Then install cabinets (carefully), and then cover the the floors and finish the rest of the installation. My ex hubster makes a fortune rehabbing homes and ripping out all the "Harry Homeowner" botched "improvements" that people make. One house he bought was a real winner. Kitchen had been updated at various times and none of the base cabinets and appliances were level or at the correct height due to 3 different flooring installations. That house was b a d - not even flippers wanted it . . .
My personal opinion would be that it is easier to install the flooring before the other stuff. Just like it is easier to paint before putting appliances in.
Floor first. I had my floor tiled afterwards and now can't budge the kick boards. I need to move them for access to fill in rodent entry points in the outside wall. Also if mice die under there you can't get to them.....then the flies arrive.... Definitely floor first!
I would insulate the walls, before the floor. You don't want to miss any areas, that need this insulation. Best wishes, J. When you find the wisdom, you want, or that really agrees with you, be sure to copy it, with printer, and this will help guide you thru the process. Be wise and save money. J.
Just don't get too confused with other folks opinions, for one person may not agree with the next , and you will get more confused, ok?
I know how the limited budget is, wow, what a pinch, in needs. Upon the insulation question, it is better to have the insulation, in this area, rather than to WISH it was there, and have COLD WALLS !! Right. Just feature a bath tub, with cold walls. . . this is how the contractors do homes now days, for their time, is saving work, and money. But - wow, when we were in the tub, and touched the walls, it was bitter cold, even tho the garage was right there, tho that area, is NOT insulated. We replaced the tub, and insulated the area. Be safe, and Be WISE. This bit of INSULATION, really saves money, and heat escape. Thank you for your reply. Have a lovely holiday, best wishes, J.
You may also want to check and see, IF there is insulation, or if there is insulation there, check on what grade of insulation is there. There is one main insulation, that is great, but you will have to check with the hardware store, to make sure of the BEST GRADE of insulation. . or what is the passable grade, which would NOT be too good, just for a money saver, ok? Use wisdom, and be safe, ok? Keep warm, and cozy. J.
Do the floors first and set the cabinets ON TOP. Otherwise you have to cut the flooring flush to the cabinets and this is not only more work but may look sloppy if not done very carefully.
Were you successful in staining your lvp flooring? Did it turn out well ?
YOu always want to have your flooring under your cabinets especially when all is out now
Flooring first, but it doesn’t have to be fully the high end flooring under the backs of the cabinets, as long as the toe space is covered and the cheaper flooring is the same thickness.
