Tiling a kitchen Floor
So you are considering tiling your kitchen floor and you are not 100% sure about what choices to make? Hopefully this page will offer you some good pointers.

A common question when tiling a kitchen floor is "should I tile the complete floor or should I just tile beneath the base unit plinth"
My advice would be to tile the complete floor before fitting the kitchen base units.
-
Firstly you will only save a few dollars if you do tile up to the kitchen base units.
-
Then if you have kitchen appliances that are not integrated you may find that you have problems removing the machines if the kitchen has not been fully tiled.
-
If you decide to replace your kitchen units you might also have to replace the floor if you tile up to the plinth.
