Hi everyone,
Sorry to throw a spanner in the works but we are working our way through this decision at the moment too.
What kind of floors are you having? We are having 19mm timber on the entire ground floor but our builder will not allow us to put the boards down BEFORE the kitchen (fair enough) but this means unsightly-looking beading running around the edges of the kitchen kickboard.
We are planning to investigate whether the builder will consider installing our island *after* handover thus eliminating the problem of the beading around the edges of the island. I do not want to pay $$$$ for a waterfall edge if I have to have beading running around the bottom effectively ruining the look.
Perhaps you don't feel this way or perhaps you don't have the timber floor problem *shrug*
Hope you work it out. Hope I can figure it all out!!!
