QUOTE(idoblu @ Apr 7 2015, 10:40 AM) Normally the carcass won't touch the wall cause they need to add an end panel so your doors can open. There are two types of end panels. Nice and not nice. The nice one they put where you can see eg. The right side of your example, where else the side that is against the wall will be a rough panel Yes i am aware they will be a gap before they put in the end panel .Can u show the nice and not niice panel ? Rough panel meal will be rough wood, won't it absorb moisture, grow fungus etc ? Or shall i put a layer of lacquer toward the rough panel ? |

QUOTE(modjojojo @ Apr 7 2015, 01:29 PM) Hi. My suggestion is DO some homework and have some imagination what kinda of design you want (in detail), sometime what designer design might not be your cup of tea...Would like to ask if any contractors/designers can help give me a quotation for this type of kitchen cabinet? I would prefer solid surface top and melamine doors and cupboards. Do not want compressed wood (like cardboard thing) material as I hear it doesn't last long Esp if in contact with water. I have bought my hood and kitchen hob in advance. However, I would need the current sink removed and replaced with a new sink. The current one is very flimsy and is an eyesore. Thank you. For material. Melamine is the surface, internally still mdf board ![]() ![]() Best material would be solidwood follow by plywood (it come with price) As for top, check this. http://www.abellastonellp.com/products_comparison.cfm |

For kitchen design, aside from cosmetically look nice...you need to be careful on choosing the material....which will determine price and durability...
alot 'look nice' cabinet doesn't last long.... |

plywood would cost at least 2 times more than MDF and Chipboard but they do last.
I would suggest your BUDGET and tell your contractor/carpenter accordingly...they will able to advice what wood are u getting...also the surface material |

QUOTE(Alliciababy @ Jun 24 2015, 11:39 AM) Morning all LYN members, i have some questions to ask sifus here coz i'm new in info of kitchen cabinet. For carcuss - solid wood would be best and long lasting material hence it come with price..chipboard already name 'cheat' alike Ikea stuff...Can i ask what materials usually used for kitchen cabinets?( So far i know is chipboard, plywood, polyester??,solid wood etc...) And for the door, got fomeca, melamine, arcylic,3G/4G etc... If for durable, which material will u all recommend? And can i know what is the pricing around the market now? Appreciate if anyone can reply me Thanks For door colour glass would be latest trend. If you want durable again solid wood with formica surface would good...melamine is samilar gang with chipboard/mdf board.... Arcylic very easy to get scratch....price is depend on design, size and material use... |

QUOTE(kshereen @ Jun 24 2015, 02:43 PM) Need some advice from the shifus. paint is the best and most expensive since alot surface preparation work need to be done before paint, formica is the 2nd option and laminate is the cheapest and least durable.If let's say I want my cabinets to be plywood/blockboard based (carcass n door), what finishing is better? Paint or laminate/formica for longer lasting? I'm not going for 3G or aluminium edge. I'm thinking about the "seamless look". People tell me that paint will turn yellow over time or will chip off. How long will laminate last til it peels? TIA for any inputs. |

QUOTE(kshereen @ Jun 24 2015, 02:57 PM) Thanks for d advice. Paint, I would assume it's spray paint. Will it get chipped by knocks from say pots etc? If in future, we need to change d color, can we hand paint over d old paint? anything painted and knock too hard paint will chip off but again DEPEND how good is the paint used...i have never hear anyone change colour for cabinet...usually paint, formica, whatever material is use for life Actually when you say paint is the best means d finishing looks d best or longest lasting? I was thinking about formica but was unsure what material they give underneath cos we can't see. Any tips on how to differentiate? Maybe weight? Wud mdf be lighter than plywood? both finishing and durability... Formica can be gang up with different type wood material... |

QUOTE(idoblu @ Jun 25 2015, 10:01 AM) mine doesnt use aluminum frame. thats why i said got few types my acrylic doors use high pressure press to "stick" the acrylic to the board everything also can scratch la, you use spray painted or even stainless steel also can kena scratch i really dunno why almost everybody's kitchen cabinet requirement must be scratch resistance, waterproof till 1 meter in depth, oil resistance....etc etc.... When scratches, swirl happened...your surface no longer glossy and reflective hence it will IMPACT your overall look, will look DULL....unless you don't really bother about it...GLASS will not have this problem UNLESS you really use sharp object to scratch it.... Anyhow its depend on your BUDGET. QUOTE(Neo18 @ Jun 25 2015, 10:30 AM) Best in price (high) too.... |
