You don’t float an engineered then fit a kitchen on top, if you’re looking to put the floor down first you must bond it directly to the subfloor, which means you will need a surface dpm which one depends on your rh% readings, and for crying out loud don’t float t&g anyway if you want to float an engineered choose one with a click system.

Because when floated the floor will expand so it’s best to fit it short of the plastic legs of the kitchen but under the end panels and plinths. But if the kitchen isn’t heavy you could get away with it but I wouldn’t risk it myself.
I cant work out if you are taking the Mickey or just not reading. The ONLY option you have to fast track is a liquid DPM. You can do this after the screed is about 7 days old. There are lots of options.
Sack this, obviously don't want the advice. Another one that comes on for advice yet struggles to swallow it
Sorry but not great advise here. You absolutely cannot put a kitchen on top of a floated floor or you will have problems with expansion. Plinths, panels etc should be trimmed in after. Integrated machines can be set with ply to the correct height. You can use isolator sheet or Triton sheet as they are designed to let the floor breath, they don’t lay flat like a plastic sheet Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Absolutely not taking the Mickey, I misread what you said, thank you for your advice, you've been really helpful.
Would we be able to fit the flooring and cut holes for the legs to allow for natural expansion and no weight on the floor? The reason we want the flooring in the kitchen as much as possible is we have quite a few freestanding units
You can do that but you’ll need to allow expansion gaps around all of the legs Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
