If you want to put timber before the kitchen, get solid boards that you sand and polish afterwards the kitchen, skirting boards, painting etc [ I fit kitchens on finished solid timber floors all the time. We just put blankets down and don't have any issues. Sometimes there isn't any choice. In saying that I much prefer to fit to a floor that hasn't been polished. One issue is that it should have a quick sand before the kitchen goes in. No floor is flat before its sanded, there is always highs and low and the boards are all slightly different in thickness. This becomes a problem if you have bench top waterfalls that go to the floor and run across the joins. If its not sanded first you can end up seeing the highs and lows.

If you put skirting on before sanding do you still get a nice finish to the edges of the floor when sanding/polishing without damaging the skirting? This can be an issue if the boards are slightly different thicknesses. You can see gaps under the skirting if its put on before sanding. I would prefer to see it sanded first and then the skirtings go on.

I forgot to mention that I did do a rough sand for the above reasons. While I'm sure you'll be careful, would you trust a project builder's tradies not to damage a pre finished flooring?

I tiled my old house AROUND these items, getting the fridge over the tile 'step' was, well, entertaining at least. And the lower over storage door couldn't open all the way down. But my tiling effort was superb ! Boss wasn't too impressed..... I had a similar issue with my fridge not too long ago. It wasn't the same model, but the symptoms were pretty much the same: the compressor would start and then stop… 3 7551 Thanks for the insights, that makes perfect sense, and yeah, I will be leaning on the experience of the excavator operator entirely. 6 16159 I want to build a bigger driveway (without a nature strip) than has been approved under my CDC. I’ve also had a DA approved to build a deck. It looks like I can do this… 0 4814 |
