What is the right sequence for kitchen improvements?

[Sugar]

Hi folks, 

We are wanting to do some work on our kitchen. Following are the things we would like to do. This is going to be one at a time. 

A. Changing the Rangehood to this: https://www.bunnings.com.au/bellini-90cm-stainless-steel-canopy-rangehood_p0186539

my existing one is: 

B. Changing the Cooktop to induction or ceramic cooktop, like this: https://www.bunnings.com.au/bellini-60cm-induction-cooktop_p5103044

my existing one: 

C. Change splashback to this: https://www.bunnings.com.au/vistelle-700-x-745-x-6mm-mist-glass-splashback_p2669127?gclid=CjwKCAiAsa...

   The current one is : 

😧 install new Dishwasher: 

The current one is: 

E: install new oven:

F: Changing the Benchtop: 

    Current one: 

We would like to know what is the best sequence to follow to achieve what we would like to do. 

At the moment, the main priority is B, but still, we can follow the right logical order. 

Any suggestion is highly appreciated. 

The main reason is, we don't want to undo (affect) the job which has already been done

Thanks @EricL 

I might be misunderstanding here something. 

Please have a look at a simple drawing I have drawing here.

Red dotted rectangle = The section that will be created when the benchtop will be changed to L-shaped, which will require already laid flooring to be removed to create space for cabinets. 

Purple Traingle and Trapezoid = Sections that will be removed once changed to L-shaped, which will not have any flooring laid previously, and which will require to have new flooring done. 

Are you saying it will be very hard to have consistence and seamless placement/ flow of the flooring on either sides of benchtop/cabinets that will constitute after adding or removing or whole or a part of the flooring, if I go ahead now and follow above concept  ?

I always had an impression that hybrid flooring has flexibility of removing from certain part, adding panel as required and can be slided to adjust as per required. Thanks for explanation.

hi @Dave-1 , when you are saying chopped off area, I am taking that you are meaning the curved benchtop area in current condition. 

That is important at the moment, as this is the only kitchen preparation area we have 😁

Thanks

Good Morning @Sugar 

Yes I am saying to remove that end of the bench to allow the seemless install of the flooring. Pretty much remove that bench back top the left hand side of the rectangle in the drawing you did. 

Thats the eternal problem of fitting out a kitchen while still using the same. When I did my kitchen we gradually shifted around the room until the flooring was done eventually ending up in the laundry even

Things you could do. 

By a cheap table. 

Build that new section you will install and then when you chop off the end of the current bench you could place it on that temporary to give the prep space you want.

Schedule the floor and removal of bench closer together time wise so less impact.

Trying to get an area level/looking that that is no join is a hard thing to do, everything from finding the floor isnt level, things in the way, discoloration between old and new as the old went down before the new. All add up to a more complicated job. I agree with @EricL its preferential to do in one go.

Hi @Sugar,

Unfortunately, that is not possible. You'll need to wait to have the flooring done. You can not simply add and fill in areas after the flooring has been installed. Hybrid flooring has a clip-lock joining system, which starts at one wall and needs to be laid in a continuous motion across the entire floor in one go. If you were to lay it now, once you come to install the additional section, you'd need to pull all the boards up again, right across to the wall, if not the entire room.

Please let me know if you have any questions.

Good evening to you guys @MitchellMc @EricL and @Dave-1 and I am really thankful for your thoughts. 

Like everyone is saying here, I am going to wait until I finalize with my kitchen layout and placement and then make the floor laying job as the last job. 

Appreciate your words and recommendations. It is going to be a little delayed but eventually I will be doing it. 

So many house projects lined up for me 🙂

Hi @Sugar 

I'm glad you have decided to wait to install your flooring. I suggest concentrating on your other projects until the time comes for your kitchen revamp.

Please keep us updated with your progress, we look forward to seeing your kitchen installed.

If you need further assistance, please let us know.
