Do You Install Laminate Flooring Under A Refrigerator

I m getting ready to install laminate tile in the kitchen.

Do you install laminate flooring under a refrigerator.

When installing laminate flooring in kitchens that have a refrigerator many professionals lay the flooring up to the outer edges of the refrigerator alcove. Its fine if you can remove the refrigerator from the room easily but a lot of times its just easier to work around it. Yes laminate is a floating floor type so it should defiantly go in after the cabinets. The refrigerator is then rolled onto.

Because the weight of appliances especially refrigerators can stress or break the tongue and groove fasteners select a snap together floor designed especially for kitchens. You have the choice of either removing the refrigerator from the room or working around it. I ve read warnings against installing tile under cabinets because it prevents the floating floor from expanding. Installing laminate flooring under refrigerators can be difficult at times.

My name is matt capell and i am the owner of capell flooring and interiors in meridian idaho. I see no reason to not install it in the kitchen and would continue it under the appliances as well.
