If you are installing hardwood, laminate, or tile flooring, you will need to install your toe kicks before the flooring. Toe kicks are the small strips of wood that go along the base of your cabinets. They help to finish off the look of your kitchen and protect your cabinets from getting scuffed up.
Installing toe kicks can be a bit tricky. You will need to measure the space between each cabinet and cut the toe kick pieces to fit. It is important to get a snug fit so that there are no gaps for dirt and dust to accumulate. Once you have cut the pieces, use a strong adhesive to attach them to the bottom of your cabinets.
If you are installing carpeting, you can install the toe kicks after the fact. Just make sure that they are securely attached so that they don't come loose over time.
