Tiling under kitchen units?

[thatsitivehadenough]

I am fitting a kitchen and will tile the floor afterwards before putting the plinths on.

I can see a problem approaching and wonder what others have done in the past.

The end panels on the kitchen come out further than the plinths and go down to the floor. So how do you tile around or under it?

Thanks.

Are you only tiling only up to the plinth?
If yes then you may have problems installing / removing appliances.
I tiles wall to wall for the floor, but on the walls only to just below the worktop

No. After fitting the kitchen I am tiling under the units for a few inches before fitting the plinths over the tiles.

You will have problems with appliances & the cabinett back feet will be on the floor & the front on the tiles. Tile all the floor, it will pay in the long run, when you remodel the kitchen

No need to fully tile; just stick tiles on the floor where the feet are & allowing you to pull the appliances out; you don’t even have to use the same tiles if they are expensive

Why would you want to change the layout you'd then have big problem with the cabinets anyway.

This would be my advice also.
