can a real wood 'floating floor' be fitted under kitchen appliances?

Some customers consider it not important to install flooring under kitchen units and appliances, as the thought is you will never see it. In theory that sounds fine, but consider that you may have a washing machine, dishwasher or other appliance in your kitchen that needs repairing or replacing. If there is not enough height between the worktop and the appliance, you may not be able to remove it without damaging the floor.

It’s not essential however if money is not an issue then it is best just in case you rearrange your kitchen in the future.

In the kitchen if you are to install the flooring under kitchen appliances be very careful when you slide the appliances over the floor to avoid scratches and scrapes.
