Hi - hope this is the right forum
My problem is this. Im doing a kitchen install at home (havent put the units in yet, just planning)
I have an integrated dishwasher and a freestanding washing machine planned for the same base unit run.
Problem being that the washing machine at its lowest height setting is 850mm so i need a bit of clearance from the underside of the worktop to get it in and out.
The dishwasher has a height adjustment of 820-850mm. max (from the manual)
If they are both on the same floor, my dishwasher isnt high enough to be screwed to the underside of the worktop as the worktop has to be a bit higher for the washing machine -worktop to be set 10-15mm higher than the W/M to get it in an out.
Im thinking of raising the level of the floor (just in the dishwasher area) to about 20mm higher than everywhere else so that the dishwasher can be fitted to the underside of the worktop. Wont be seen as will be behind the kickboards.
I plan on using aquapanel and adhesive / tiles to raise the floor under the dishwasher so that it meets the worktop which will be high enough to clear the washing machine - around 870mm
Anyone have any input on wether this will be ok - i dont want it to foul the opening of the door etc.
Thanks in advance
Steve
