Hi, can anyone recommend contractor that can do porcelain tabletop with profile as per in this image below, I am planning to do to this to my house at area Gamuda Gardens, Rawang, Selangor

I really like the profile because when there is water splash around the sink it can easily get into the sink

The specs of the kitchen cabinet I want is as follows

✓concrete tabletop I-shape 8 feet
✓finishing tiles - porcelain
✓finishing edging - bevel ease
✓double layer + undermount sink installation

- big porcelain tile to reduce tile lining
- 4g glass door
- aluminium plate inside kitchen cabinet sink area

Hi, may I know how long have you used this type of kitchen until it grow mold, my kitchen cabinet setup is like this, wanted to get an estimation of how long it will last before growing mold

Hi everyone,

I'm looking for advice on installing a porcelain or sintered stone tabletop on my new aluminum kitchen cabinets. I'm wondering which approach is better:

Direct Installation: Attaching the tabletop directly to the aluminum cabinets.
Plywood Base: Installing a plywood base underneath the tabletop for added support.

I've spoken to two kitchen cabinet contractors, and they each have a different recommendation:

Contractor 1: Plywood Base - This contractor recommends installing a plywood base to support the weight of the tabletop, especially for heavy objects. They believe this will prevent the tabletop from breaking and with proper sealing, there's no risk of water seeping through and causing mold.

Contractor 2: Direct Installation - This contractor is confident that the strength of the tabletop itself is sufficient to handle any items placed on it. They argue that a plywood base is unnecessary and could pose damage to the tabletop once water seeps through

My Concerns

While both approaches have their pros and cons, both contractors have extensive experience. I'm unsure which option is truly better for long-term durability and preventing breakage.

So, the question is:

Is there a clear "better" choice, or are there simply pros and cons to consider?
