Hi,

Im doing some self leveling tomorrow, do you tape up the kitchen units or just level upto them?
Any other advise would be great.

Cheers

Thanks mate so the kick plate will go on top off the tiles?

Thats right Shogun, they do and most of them have a rubber strip that fixes to the bottom of the kick board to aid as a seal when sitting on to the tiles. :smilewinkgrin:

much better finish mate go under the kickplates taking the tile an inch or so past them so there is no groutlines.

also before you start the kitchen check the wash machine has enough clearnace once u have slc then tiled for it to go bak under the worktop:drool5:

only thing else you might need to do is take an 3/4 of an inch off the kickboards.

whats the best saw,tool to use?

 

[kilty55]

i use a joiners saw...............with a joiner attached to the end o it:drool5:

and if you are not as lucky as kilty and having a joiner on tap use a rip saw! much easier to keep your line
