Baseboards behind kitchen unit

2012-10-30 10:32:34

Hello,

does it make sense to have the tile bases also laid behind the kitchen unit? For aesthetic reasons, it wouldn't make any sense...

I would now go ahead and have the kitchen installed first and then have the bases "abut" against the kitchen unit.

And what if you install a new kitchen in a few years and change the layout? I would/will have the plinth installed all around.

Best regards

Hello Sascha, thank you for the response. The kitchen itself cannot be changed because of the layout. It could only be a little bigger or smaller. Still, thanks for the food for thought!

What is recommended: seal the wall to the floor under the kitchen with a silicone joint (if you are not installing a baseboard). If water runs down behind the kitchen unit, it cannot get into the gap there. With a baseboard, you would do that anyway.

That will definitely be done. Better safe than sorry...

Once you are working on the tiles, you should definitely go ahead with it... I agree. But I'm sure you have long since finished with it by now
