LVP/EVP SMARTCORE Pro

This has attached pad and in click together install. Can this or should this be installed under cabinets in my kitchen. How about under dishwasher and slide in oven? Cabinets are still being made and contractor mentioned putting the flooring down now. Will this be an issue with expansion and what about warranty? In the pic you will see the space where the cabinets will go. The wall with old fridge and across the single window all and peninsula extends out under beam with no uppers.

We had floating LVP recently installed in our basement where we put a kitchenette and refrigerator. The flooring did not go under the cabinets, but it is under the refrigerator (manufacturer said it was OK to put appliances on it but not cabinets).

Floating floors do not go under cabinets. Reads the specs on your product.

Definitely a no no to put cabinets on top of floating LVP.

Read your product specifications and dare I say your contractor should, too.

Plus putting flooring under cabinets makes it more difficult if you every want to change the flooring. I have instead raised the cabinets by putting plywood same thickness as flooring under the cabinets instead.

Can you put heavy furniture on these kinds of floors? Will it leave dents? Or cause the floors to pop up?

The SPC flooring such as SuperCore at WeShipFloors.com and Flooret Modin can handle heavy furniture much better than the WPC and other vinyls. That was one of my main concerns a year ago with CORETec and some of the others. I had decided to use a water resistant laminate until I started reading about the SPC flooring. We are in the process of selecting a color from SuperCore.
