They do cover JB but depend of quantity i guess

Hi sir,

Regarding perforated door, does it really work to dry the cabinet and prevent stale smell? No roaches can masuk?

I'm currently looking for a kitchen cabinet designer/carpenter and came across Nest Butler. They keep popping up on my instagram. Does anyone here heard of them, or better still had experience with them? I've used the search function here and nada..

how much does it cost nowadays to
- make a cement base for cabinet
- laying kitchen wall tiles

Sure. No stale smell and no roaches because the hole is small around 3mm only. I used stainless metal sheet which I think easy to find in market. Not using the metal net because it will not look good and fragile also. I just made it as strip, not whole door which I think more stylish. Something like my drawing below.

Thank you for taking time to reply! I will use your drawing as reference. Tq!!

Dear all, for quartz kitchen top, what are the cons of doing edging (sorry if this is incorrect term). I'm aware that edging will shorten the usable height of the bottom cabinet (aluminium carcass).
Edging gives the impression of using a thick kitchen top material, more atas look.

Appreciate any advice or experience sharing.


No edging, just polish.


Edging

More expensive maybe? Also, more prone to breaking as it's basically 2 pieces stuck together.

I personally went without edging, but more for aesthetic purposes as I wanted a minimal looking kitchen.

Just need to top up a few hundred ringgit.

The reliability due to joining is my main concern too.

Unless you're Superman, I believe shouldn't be an issue if you go for a good top with a decent installer.

Perhaps go for edging in the dry kitchen and plain for wet kitchen.

If without edging, means there would be a gap between the counter top & cabinet underneath isn't it? if yes, there would be dust/the likes accumulated, no?

This is the edge everyone's talking about:



So actually the dust issue will only come up depending on the gap between countertop and cabinet. You can have no gap, but need some spacing to clear the top of your kitchen door and the lowest part of the countertop 'waterfall'.

Basically, if you want to make it look nice and minimise issues, all these need to be planned upfront between countertop and kitchen contractors, so that the kitchen can be designed to accommodate your countertop choice.

Hi all

Just got my key recently and trying to build my dream kitchen. Basically my biggest criteria for the aesthetic is shaker door

I have asked a few KC companies for quotation and if I want to have shaker door, I have to use either blockboard, HDF or solid wood
And there's also the question of the carcass too. If I want aluminium, the cost multiplies like crazy.
In general, I was quoted HDF panels with melamine/plywood carcass is about 35k+ and solid wood panels with melamine/plywood carcass would be 40k+++

Then I went to expo and found a few company that does full aluminium cabinets.
Not only they have shaker door but they quote me about 30-35k for a full aluminium cabinets.
Their warranty is also longer.

Is there a difference in the aluminium material used by the mixed material vendors vs the full aluminium ones?
Coz I'm wondering why the price difference is quite significant.

Also any known cons for those who have done fully aluminium cabinets?

the cons? cons would be paying the highest price. when its actually not too expensive to fabricate.

is there any contractor can replace the wood between cabinet and quartz top..? it start crack dunno why......and always got black substance fall down suspect the wood also wet and got fungus....

Mate, so did you go with them? Im looking to refurbish my kitchen cabinets (wood, 40+yrs).

How was their workmanship? and could you pass me the contact if they are from Klang Valley. Thx

Anyone else has any contacts from KV area?

Can anyone here recommend me a good sifu with good workmanship who can supply and install wall cabinets (wood)

Please provide name and contact number. Thank you

I dont have a fully aluminium kc, but my friend does. TBH for me the only cons is the noises when you put items on the shelf / inside the cabinet, also limited design.
But after reading other reviews on cabinet materials, i guess these people don't have to worry about termite or moisture if water somehow finds a way inside the laminated material and made your carcass and door 'kembang'.

What do you mean mixed material vendors? Usually if you want mix, you can use aluminum carcass, cuz thats where it will get wet and damage; and the door can be your designed shaker door in HDF or solid wood.
Fully alum cabinets are done by those specialist supplier, as all their accesories will fit to their specs only. Long ago, alum cabinet look ugly, nowadays got more options la. But expensive.

But i would not recommend normal cabinet la. alum cabinet noisy, and expensive. The cost might as well bring to do better quality plumbing.
