Need your expert advice guys

Currently my kitchen is having a concrete top, does that mean I have to use solid surface and I can't use cheaper solution such as laminated top?

concrete top = use tiles. as granite/solid surface/etc has wooden base..

So confirmed that cannot use laminated top? Must use either tiles or solid surface?

Any samples pictures with nice tiles?

many la, use the 2x2ft one. plenty type and color u can choose.
mine use white house , rm29 per pcs.

i was at builder mart in Pj, saw this new tile 2x4 from Spain, so if u wanna use concrete top but wanna have min joint, u can consider this type of tile

seems like nobody answer your questions, maybe i can help ....

High-gloss: is using MDF board as the base material and after spray painted it will give u a glossy finishing. but MDF board is very sensitive to water which is also its main disadvantage beside this it will be very hard to maintain in the longer run coz will scratch very easily and very troublesome to touch up once scratch.

Arcylic: is another type of material which made from plastics materials but higher grade type (dunno the scientificaly name) which can use many types of base materials to produce like aluminum frame, plywood, melamine board aka chipboard, and even mdf but this is rare due to the above issues

So conclusion Arcylic and High-gloss is not the same product !!!!

Anyone can guess Solid wood and solid board is the same??? anyone wanna try to answer this?

Hi Everyone,

I need your advise on this build in wardrobe. My wardrobe just done today, but I found a very weird part.
Do you think is it normal to have such a thick side ending as in the picture highlighted? It's about 3inches.

Erny,

You are a kitchen/wardrobe expert. What is your opinion ? Is this normal ?



Seriously need advise on this, hope anyone can answer me....

1st, if u want cheaper.. then i suggest u just put tiles.. 2x2 tiles now days got so many choice.. some look like granite.

Your Concrete top with tiles?? OR not???

1) If Yes, then u can just do a drawer and door to cover it. usually - RM110-RM120 per feet run for this. (solid block board wood)
2) If not, u can add on a solid surface top on it.
3) If u already have tiles, and u really like solid surface. (No problem for this) but i think this is waste. unless the tiles of ur tabel top is old.. and u plan to change.

Solid surface is RM140/feet run.

Haha. Nice description.

Your question is hard to answer... See how the contractor define those..
For me.. its mostly same. both is really solid wood.
If u define solid wood - 1 piece of solid wood then solid board is not same.
solid board - few piece of long solid wood stick together become one piece of board.

Laminated top.. cannot tahan lama!!! Not encourage to do that. since u already have concrete top.
usually kitchen don use laminated top. because it cannot tahan water and heat.
unless u don have a basin and cooker there.

NO,this is not normal. but

1st-need to measure is it the wardrobe they make same wide wif the quotation??

2nd- usually the contractor will go ur house and measure the exact size of your area. normally this won't happen.

Had u ask ur contractor?? he got any explain or not??? maybe something blocked??

definitely, it's abnormal.
unless it's ready make wardrobe.
If it's custom make, should b fit to the wall..

Hi Evon,

Thanks for your reply. The size I paid is the size which measured to the wall, which mean the cabinet should be fully extend to the wall.
I asked the worker why they put such a large board there, then he just told me that’s normal.
They did the same thing to my wardrobes in 2 rooms. But I don’t think this is normal, as it took up my space and I look at other ppl wardrobe, they don’t have the board like that.

Hi, Shanny

You're welcome.

That is really not normal. It has to fitted the both side of wall.

your plaster ceiling got cornese or not?? anything block??

by the way, No worries. Got solution.
ask them to cover the gape with same material u choose. * FOR FREE

if not. u don pay them.

Herm.. for me this is abnormal, customization of wardrobe is the purpose of fully fit everything with ur area, really sorry to see this

Check you quotation or invoice, what the size listed inside. If it 6Feet but they deliever 5feets, than call the boss lol. But if the same size than I didn't see what you can do. The measurement is from you or they make a site visit?

Perhaps this is because they use modular units instead of fully customize your wardrobe...

Hard to say. there may be possible of, your wall are not straight enough, say the top part and bottom part of wall are diff by say 20mm, if use normal way to do, u will see there is a gap at the top, but bottom is fit. if seal by silicone also still see ugly, then they use melamine board to cover to gab, but melamine board can not cut at too small size coz is too easy to broken. so they at lease make a 50mm gab to fit the board and plus ur uneven wall, so may becoz of that 3inc.

I not sure, not saw your site b4. or may be becoz of modular problem also.

how much u pay for wardrobe? price/feet?

I CANNOT ACCEPT THIS AT ALL. Tell us the company name!!!

Big fault,much call him redo back.

But we also will have fillet like this if the cabinet is attach to a wall. Normally is only 5cm. But if the room have cornice or skirting. If might be slightly bigger. Even my showroom cabinet have this fillet.

Shanny,
Maybe good to take the whole cabinet picture instead of middle part? Maybe top have cornice or bottom have skirting which cause the gap?
