I had a very positive conversation with Bev at Eden Brae today about our Kitchen and the use of Scotia. Bev was very responsive, friendly and solution oriented – big tick from us!
The plan is to install the kitchen first on the slab as per their normal practice, minus the kickboards, barback and waterfall stone bench. Once the floor is laid, kitchen installers will return to install the kickboards, barback and benchtop. This will involve an additional cost as it involves a call back for trades but it is a cost we are happy to accept to get the result that we want i.e. no scotia. We still need to communicate this with Kitchen Culture, but Bev did not see any problem.
The most important issue is to make a decision about flooring and understand the impact of that decision. Hardwood strip flooring requires a 40mm allowance, whereas a floating floor requires 20mm. This has implications for bench heights, window splashback etc and even floor levels throughout the rest of the ground floor eg. carpeted rooms.
The lesson is to consider all these potential issues upfront. The challenge of course is that this requires a keen eye for detail and the advice of people around you who know what they are talking about, because not all of us our experts.
