Cabinet people are coming to do final measurements today. Floor height is a major issue. Current distance fromfloor to ceiling is 95 1/4" with Mexican tile 1 3/4" over joists.

With 42 inch wall cabinets (doors extend another 3/4"lower), and 36"H base cabinets, only 16 inches remain between countertop and cabinet. The Deflecto is L416, and what I think i need is the lowest floor possible, remembering that the porcelain tile itself is about 3/8."

Thanks so much for your help. It will make the difference in how/whether this all works. If the porcelain doesn't, perhaps I need to go to vinyl or wood--neither of which is close to a first choice.

Thanks again!
