Concrete and tiles. Cheapest and most durable, no problem with water leakage or practically anything!

Yes. Just imagine the usual kitchen cabinet, where the carcass is made of Melamine/Chipboard/Plywood, now being replaced with concrete. With that, u will get a concrete carcass or body that is very durable. Usual table top now being replaced tiles.

As for the rest of the accessories, trays n door, can get kitchen cabinet installer to make one for u.

the above method, will save lots of money cos ur saving on the kitchen top such as the usual solid surface, marble, granite, which can amount to thousands in the normal kitchen reno. Just go through ur current quote n take out the table top cost n u can see how much u save.

concrete n tiles are actually referring to carcass/body of the kitchen cabinet being made of concrete (usually its plywood/melamine) and the outer parts are covered with tiles (where usually ppl put granite/solid surface).

However, recently there is a trend of ppl doing industrialized look where they copy those hippy cafes, with concrete being used as the top. Even if using concrete as top, it will not be looking rough as u can put a layer of polish/coat to make it look shiny. To make it even smoother, u can actually sand it to the level u r happy with.


Hope it helps.

KC Guys will do the measurement after the carcass is done. Thats y its custom-made.

To clarify, I m not a contractor/seller here. I m just an end user who has put in concrete kitchen for one of my place.

Smooth layer/polished actually just need to sand it to ur liking.

Good luck with contractor hunting as not all contractors can handle it. I do recommend to do it with tiles as more contractors can handle it and its quite pleasant to the eye. Wanna see what tiles can do to ur kitchen? I highly recommend to go to Feruni showroom (which are at several location) and see what tiles can do for u. From there, ask for price comparison for tiles vs solid surface/granite and do ur own maths there.

I only mean to go there to see how tiles will be when used as kitchen top, lol..

Then go n see what kind of price range/tiles is suitable for u...
