Discuss Installing floor tiles under kitchen units in the America Tile Forum area at TilersForums.com.

I'm getting large floor tiles install in the kitchen with existing kitchen units. However, getting different comments from companies over the difficulty of installing the tiles under the existing kitchen units. It's not a problem where there are kitchen cabinet legs and a plinth hiding it as they all say they can tile right up to the legs so the different between old tiles and new tiles will not be visible. However, the challenge is at the ends where you have units like a dishwasher that are not on legs. Or when you have big vertical end panels on the end of tall units that house the fridge/oven/microwave. Another challenge is kitchen island which is freestanding but it is extremely heavy and I've been told there is risk of damaging the quartz worktop which has been stuck to the unit using small amount of adhesive.

The original tiles were installed when the property was completely empty. But the new tiles need to be installed where now kitchen units exist.

Thoughts?
