Quick Answer: Do You Put Lvp Under Cabinets

If you are installing click-lock vinyl plank flooring, you should NOT install under cabinets. If you install heavy cabinetry such as kitchen cabinets on top, it will inhibit the floor from expanding and contracting, and can lead to issues such as buckling and damaged locking systems.

Do you put vinyl plank flooring under appliances?

Since most furniture will not go under just one plank, it is perfectly safe for bulky furniture and refrigerators to go on vinyl plank flooring. Vinyl plank flooring will not be damaged or cracked by home appliances’ weight due to its strong durability.

Should laminate flooring be installed under cabinets?

If you are installing a hardwood floating floor (or any floating floor such as cork or laminate), you should install the floor AFTER the kitchen cabinets are installed. If part of the floor is trapped underneath the heavy cabinets, it can not properly move.
