Browse Forums Kitchen Corner 1 Aug 30, 2022 7:45 pm Our kitchen is being installed, then the hybrid flooring is going in, then the kickboards, then the stone bench tops and waterfall. Ideally we would have wanted the kitchen and stone to be installed, then the flooring, then the kickboards. The kitchen installers say that they can draw a line to indicate where the stone waterfall will go and the floorers can then install up to that point, then the stone can go in, still with a good finish between the stone and the floor. Is that right? I'm worried about a gap between the two. To add to it, the flooring guys are adamant that the stone cannot go on top of the hybrid flooring as it may buckle under the weight. Any advice? Re: Stone Waterfall "After" Flooring Install 2Aug 30, 2022 8:17 pm With a floating floor like hybrid, you actually want gaps at solid surfaces like walls and benchtops to allow for expansion and contraction of the flooring. Cover the gaps with scotia. Agree with your flooring guys that the stone should not sit on top of the flooring - it should sit on the concrete and then the flooring goes around it. Again, cover the gaps with scotia. Re: Stone Waterfall "After" Flooring Install 4Aug 30, 2022 8:59 pm How did you plan to cover the necessary expansion gaps without using scotia?
