Installing kitchen hardwood floors, do I install them under the oven as well?
Just removed all the appliances from the room tonight as we have demo and install starting tomorrow and it just occurred to me, do I have them install hardwood under the oven? If I don’t, the tile that is there will be about 0.5” taller than the new flooring but you won’t see it as it’s under the oven. If they do install the hardwood, the legs on the oven can be extended to account for the difference so the oven matches the counter height once again. So no issue there.
My question is more so to ask, is it safe to put hardwood floors under an oven? I think it is but my wife thinks it’s a fire hazard. What are your thoughts?
