Browse Forums Kitchen Corner 1 Mar 18, 2015 9:56 pm Hello, We are trying to avoid beading/corking throughout the house but we have run into a problem when it comes to the waterfall benchtop. As advised by the kitchen places and flooring installers we will be installing the kitchen first and then the floating bamboo floor. So how would we go about avoiding beading on the waterfall benchtop? One kitchen place is saying to put the benchtop on top of the floorboards while another is saying you can't do that and you need to floor to the benchtop, leave a gap and place beading on the gap. Anyone got any ideas of ways to avoid beading? Thanks.

So kitchen In first, then flooring, then kickboards, our granite last. I would avoid ugly beading or quad at all cost, can be done, just means kitchen guys coming back.

Our flooring guy cut some super nice cuts to our engineered blackbutt and we got an excellent finish. I know its not bamboo but we've had bamboo before i cant imagine why you couldnt achieve the same result.

Wakudoki is yours just cut and butted against the benchtop or is it under? I thought you had to have a gap if it is cut up against it?
