Hahaha MDF and kitchen doesn't blend well.

My advise, don’t go for cheap quartz. They are rubbish. Not maintenance free like quartz is supposed to be. If you want to use quartz go for branded ones where they advertises the composition of the quartz.

very good tered.

anyone can advise the cement top need special care for it to look nice? planning to have cement top and island

sorry, ayam noob here.

If you have a dry kitchen where it is away from the oil and water, WOOD countertop will be good.

Wood gives a warm feeling.

The part near to water and oil and the kitchen, choose a material that is non-porous.

Tiles is hard wearing but have grout lines that can trap dirt and looks dirty over time.

Stainless steel can attract scratches and dents over time.
Wood also can get scratches and chips over time.

Cement top no need special care wan if scratch just ask cement guy come touch up or just leave it. But must ask them polish and put sealant la. This mine got scratches and natural stain but looks nicer imo.

Nothing is impervious. even if it is, mainly there is a layer/coating act as sealant and exposing to rapid temp. break its bonds. For now go for quartz for top (higher grade / known brand yea. Not cheapo one), solid wood for base. or tiled concrete (the old ways. tile big big lor if want less grout connection 2x2' is sweet spot)

I see a recent trend where sintered stone is used as counter top. Still new i think, not sure how well it lasts. Two of the client has this insists & applied recent years so have to wait and see when she will comeback to me & meroyan about it.

nice, can give size and price estimate?
yours after scratches looks more to brutalism concept

just for the island

about 1.8m x 1m x 0.08m (1800mm x 1000mm x 800mm)

checking my ID quote if everything include a 3 tier drawers and cupboard is about 10k.
but if just count the cement top without the additional accessories is only 4k.

Alu

how aluminium cabinet looks like?

not bad. the drawers good quality?

the cement top you mentioned is island + the main kitchen top or just island?

ok la normal soft close drawers and i think somesort of board

just island and bar table if want to put electric stove also can but i no put la

something like this

that's nice, can pm me the ID contact? might wanna engage them in future once my house is done

thanks for your information!

I have a small kitchen .. Top is marble/Granite cant remember and the base is wood type .. should be std material since I did not cook much as initial wanted to go for solid wood like Nyatoh but being advised dont need.

Who will use the kitchen ? Your maid ?

If yes just use 2x2 tiles for table top.

If u use yourself the. Proceed with quartz top, melamine body, spray paint for the door.
