I want to put vinyl planks over our existing travertine tile. Do i need to pull this fridge out and put vinyl underneath so i can pull it out in the future? Im afraid i wont have enough top clearance to vent the fridge after we put more flooring below it... but im also afraid we wont be able to get the fridge out in the future if we do not put the new flooring underneath.
We also have a mirror column and floor to ceiling mirror wall that we need to figure out what to do with once we add flooring. Maybe glue baseboard?

The grout joints will telegraph in short order thru the vinyl and be very visible unless you fill them all.

Our kitchen cabinets are on top of the travertine and our contractor said bc our grout lines were under 1/4th inch wide. I would just keep our travertine but we are filling in a sunken living room and i dont want to have different flooring there.

Remove the travertine, or keep it and forget the plastic. Filling in a sunken living room has loads of unintended expensive add ons. Like all new windows with safety glass, and all new electrical. Plus more. You may want to hit pause on this.

They will still telegraph thru the plastic in short order. Just the nature of the beast.
