Hi.
After a lot of comparisons and quotations between IKEA, Signature Kitchen, Legend, Rowenda, capalang.. cap ayam..
I've decided to go ahead with IKEA Metod kitchen system... and it'll cost me a lot less than every other quotation except cap ayam for now, especially since I have decided that I will be able to install the kitchen cabinets myself (for the most part)
So my question is...
If i install cabinets, can I hire someone else to install the worktop, sink and tap fitting for me? also considering to order quartz top instead of using ikea punya worktop.. but cabinets die die i want ikea
can ah? thanks

I guess very little margin for them. You have to go with their sub contractors or cap ayam to do so. Those that are willing to fix complications when removing your existing counter top. You can always ask your quartz stone guy to recommend

With charge ?

QUOTE(Bjorn1688 @ Apr 15 2019, 11:17 PM) From experience, usually those who do both aluminium and wood don't do either very well. UK is a very expensive kitchen supplier. Workmanship is so so only for the 3 houses I've seen them doing. AK does a pretty good job for their aluminium works but a bit on the expensive side. The simply way is choose the right wood put in right place. For the wet place better choose aluminium cabinet lo. Call KCN kitchen . They have explain all requirement and save cost.

QUOTE(hanknives @ Mar 9 2019, 09:58 PM) obviously plywood are better than chipboard.. i would say avoid chipboard if you have the budget. it helps in long term cause chipboard is more sensitive with water compare to plywood. kcn kitchen in seremban can have free quotation. they use plywood and aluminum

If you custom made, the kitchen installer will not want to take small jobs of modifying the kitchen in the future and you're stuck with it.

QUOTE(veron4best @ Sep 11 2018, 03:25 PM) sharp edges at most door corners -> YES Can it be grind ed rounder?shorter pull for drawer -> this is due to different drawer parts uses here. Hettich no such issue. uneven joints -> normally can be minimized -> mine no such issue bottom covers hollows -> mine was using adjustable ABS leg -> mayb using this will reduces the uneven joint, for bottom there will be some gap in certain tiles due to uneven floor (they uses silicone for it) to note: normally those end panel or enclosure panel, must be customize during installation day (as uneven gap only will be show up during installation day, i believe they didnt do it. i'm about to make aluminum door frame with composite panel cause of it's price and durability no worry of termite and wetness @ rm73/sqft for my concrete top and base as well @ rm52.5/sqft. is there anything i need to aware of or is it advisable to use this aluminium KC. i'm paid rm100 deposit to this VinArt from Kajang anybody made KC with them before, how is it?
