QUOTE(raul88 @ Jun 26 2019, 11:02 PM) Does all hood and hob has standard size for installation? it is not standard size. only hood is rather standard size.Cos im planning to buy hood and hob first when there is sale Later on after settle plaster ceiling and grille Then i will hire a kithcen cabinet contractor But I scared got different size and therefore affected the installation and incur extra charges as its not safe like their spec for installation  hob have to depends on the opening. otherwise, u complete ur kitchen cabinet first. and later on only ask ppl open for u. but be aware that if open hole for quartz/marble those causes alot of dust. if induction cooker, plz pull another wiring for it. my in laws house plug melt out due to using sharing wiring with others and induction cooker.

Hmmm….My question is, which lasts longer? Really noob about KC.. hope someone can help me.. thanks in advance Theoretically, glass bottles takes longer to decompose in a landfield than wooden chair. Glass & aluminium are termite resistant. 4G: Contemporary/ Modern design, some 4G have wood behind the frame, glass is heavy and the glass is at risk of cracking/ chipping (best to get soft close hinge). Solid wood: Classic design, can install accessories onto the frame itself (drilling/ nail), can paint in the future to remodel it, warping of wood due to humidity. What cabinet carcass are you planning? Wood? Concrete? |

IKEA cabinets on the other hand are mounted using a L-bracket that clips and locks onto the rail, the L-bracket is mounted on the side of the carcass not on the plywood backboard. However one key difference with IKEA cabinets is the backboard actually plays a crucial role in keeping the carcass in shape. QUOTE(ceo684 @ Jul 11 2019, 02:51 PM) You mean using a sleeve anchor?  |

But can you further elaborate this point "Normal cabinets are not mounted by the back board, it is mounted using a cross member or one of the support structure." What is cross member?

Hi sifus, need your help here.
I am considering either custom made cabinets that were recommended from my contractor or IKEA kitchen cabinets. I bought a subsale house and the previous owner has installed some cabinets in the wet kitchen area. Correct me if i am wrong, Ikea kitchen cabinets are not customisable and I am afraid that the Ikea cabinets will not fit the current kitchen once my contractor has dismantled the current table top and old cabinets. |

Any picture or link for me to refer.. Sorry noob request here  The crossmember where it is attached to the wall is at the part where it is labelled 1/4" plywood back, 1 x 6 nail cleat. It is basically a piece of the frame that is made from a stronger wood to hold the entire weight of the cabinet to the wall. |
