I've just came across this websites and really like the kitchen cabinets that you've posted.
do you put a concrete base with solid surface? or concrete base only goes with tiles?
could you advise on the estimated costs for the kitchen cabinets if the top is
a) melamine (L shaped dry kitchen - measurement 3ft (base only) + 11ft (base & top))
b) solid surface (for dry kitchen only - measurement as above)
c) concrete base + tiles (and if you do the concrete base or I have to source a contractor separately and you only do kitchen cabinets)
and which is the best choice (but i'll be using the dry kitchen to wash dishes.. eg would the water cause the melamine top to spoil? or should i do a concrete top with tiles.)
for wet kitchen (measurement 6 ft + 2 ft - L shaped) and dry kitchen
d) granite - dry kitchen or is wet kitchen advisable?
i heard that for wet kitchen, instead of melamine board cabinet, you could combine with err.. is it glass?
thanks for bearing with my many questions as i'm really new to this.

Concrete has porous becoz the water in there evapurate after sometime, therefore porous forming inside the concrete. This make the concrete become weaker and weaker. The problem is your tiles will start losing the bonding within the concrete.
Granite consist porous but this is the natural product, all kind of stones absorb water but not really fast. For example, u put a few drops of water on it, then come back later and wipe the area. If the area is darker then the rest of your granite it means that it has adsorbed some of the water rendering it porous. But even granite consist porous within it, but u will have no problem with this porous because normally people using water to clean it and immediately dry it up. Unless u pour black oil on white granite and leave it for few hours, then u are in problem..
Ok bro, I will remind him. sorry to keep u waiting.
Have a nice day!

Kindly enlighten me.
Does this mean that 2x2 tiles + concrete base is not recommended as the tiles would become loose? averagely, how long will it take for the tiles to be loose?
how much is the price differentiation pfr for concrete + tiles and granite?
thanks!
