I'm fitting out a new kitchen in which the space between the worktops and the base of the wall units will be tiled, probably with those small tiles on a mesh background, to make cut-outs for the electrical sockets easier to arrange.
I'm very tempted to do the tiling *before* the units go in, to minimise the mess and inconvenience. I can see that it will be straightforward to arrange the top of the tiled section to be at the right height for the wall units to rest on, but what should I do with the bottom edge of the tiles?
Should I tile down to the exact height where the worktop surface will come, and then slide the worktop neatly beneath the tiled edge? Or would it better to tile down to just below the level of the surface and bed the worktop up against the face of the tiles?
I can see advantages and disadvantages to both approaches. If anyone has any experience with this, I'd be grateful for any thoughts or advice.
