Karndean - wall to wall in kitchen?

[Bloompark]

Installing a new kitchen and replacing the floor with Karndean, appliances will not be integrated. Should I insist on wall to wall or would unit to unit be ok? Any experiences?

I'd have the flooring laid up to the feet of the units and all the way under your appliances.The plinths will hide the underneath of the cabinets and you won't be paying for metres of flooring no one will ever see.

If laying on a concrete floor, wall to wall if you dont mind spending the extra few houndred. it will also act as insulation and if you ever move things you wont need to match down the line.
we have always done wall to wall tiles.

Our LVT goes to just past our kickboards. The cat has weed in the corner, and the urine ran under the kickboards, off the LVT and soaked into the plywood underneath. Nice.

Quite a niche problem though, perhaps.

How many times has anyone ever changed their kitchen around and kept the same flooring?

they all like heat though

Macaroni- LOL!

I've just done mine.

I did kickboard to kickboard.

Cost was the main driver.

My only applicants that might need to come out over the flooring though is a dishwasher (the other appliances are all mounted in housings off the floor). Friends had a nightmare getting a tiled-in integrated dishwasher out so the builder and I came up with a compromise - the dishwasher sits on a plinth left of the old limestone flooring which makes it slightly higher than the new amtico - swapping it if it breaks shouldn't be hard..

Ah. If non integrated appliance sales get the flooring laid into the appliance niches - it will look much smarter and karndean shouldn't ripple when they are moved like sheet vinyl does.

There are cheaper and just as good alternatives to Karndean. Eg polyflor camaro etc.
We've been looking into it but decided against for our new build as cost was prohibitive. Also we've previously lived in places with standard vinyl sheet flooring and were very happy with it - good installers will glue it all down so you don't get the rippled effect.

To answer your question - everywhere we went said kickboard to kickboard was fine. Only with laminate you need to lay it to the wall due to expansion and moving. Karndean and the like, if it's installed properly, shouldn't move at all.

Ours goes under the kickboards a little way. We are very pleased with it, large grey tiles.
