Vinyl click in kitchen

[Hopeful]

Hi everyone, just at the stage of fitting kitchen and doing floorings etc. My plan was to fit the kitchen/island then lay the vinyl click flooring. The island has a back panel, and end panels which could hide the edges, it could be in against the legs all the way along below kitchen units and hidden by kick plate. Since thinking I would do it this way, others have said lay the flooring everywhere before the kitchen, what's everyones experiences on this one?

Nothing wrong with fitting kitchen then laying flooring, but fit the end panels after the floor has been laid.

flooring up to end panels looks terrible and is a water trap. Fit end panels with a couple of mm gap underneath to allow any water to dry without affecting the panels.

Thanks for that, before kitchen it is! Got to the stage there's nemerous jobs needing done at once in the whole house and trying to prioritise, head is all over the place!

If its a floating floor I wouldn't put it under the kitchen legs. Ours has bubbled a bit.

After kitchen under kick boards and island end panels to hide all perimeter gaps, should it ever need to come up or altered in any way very difficult when put underneath.

Only my opinion by the way.
