I went to check the itemise amount for all my carpentry. My kitchen cabinet alone is $7030, the quartz counter top from CaesarStone is $4000. Bedok South Ave 1.

You want abs trimming for side panel from raise platform to ceiling? $100 pfr cannot do it cos some side panels are gigantic in size, much much more bigger than drawer doors or casement doors. Now you should understand why my kitchen cabinet is $300 pfr cos all the cabinets (shoe cabinet, storage cabinet, wardrobe, comm cabinet) at my place are abs trimming at all external side panels.

The other day i fight with my wife over a package of chicken rice chilli and she throw it onto the quartz counter top, the whole pack of chilli burst open and splashed across the white quartz. I only clean it a few hours later, guess what...? No staining occured, cant say the same with acrylic and acrylic mixed.

Not all laminate comes with trimming material. Those that cannot do abs trimming will see the black colored base of the laminate, unless you are rich enough to use solid core laminate which can be quite limited to color and design. Personally i will select laminate that can do trimming and provide specific instructions to carpenter on how to custom made my feature wall or console, including the use of soft closing hinges and drawer tracks.

It depend on which area, can you be more specific? Or you wish to see mine?

ya lor... dont know where he find contractor so "good", charge him at cost.

i want light inside my top cabinet, at the same time i also want light when i'm preparing my cooking ingredients on the counter top; so kill 2 birds with 1 stone. abs is use on the trimming when use laminate, it is more durable when comparing to laminated trimming, it can also camouflage the black base color of the laminate.

If you are referring to the turquoise sofa, that is mine, got the cover from ikea for $100.

no need, if you're going to hack everything and rebuild as new, the reno process will make it unlivable for major insects except termite which has to be exterminate by pest control expert. Minor bed bugs (just a few) is ok, unless it is a major infestation under the laminate then need to call in the expert.

Cannot be done without hacking away part of the existing top horizontal and side vertical cabinet. Change all piping to copper to avoid future corrosion.

if they ignore you, most likely they dont have the material safety datasheet, no wonder price can be so cheap. well it is up to you. all man-made quartz is 93% quartz and 7% resin mixed in for bonding. when they deliver to you and join the side, back or join 2 small pieces into 1 big piece, the installer mixed the resin on the spot to apply them.

You want to see SilesStone, just visit Builder Shop showroom at changi road east, you can get actual address from their website. Seriously if you want white color, CaesarStone 1141 is good enough.

Seriously the gap is not big, just seal with silicon, when the silicon is hardened, it will act as a sturdy support for the base cabinet too. I am not asking you to squeeze the whole tube of silicon into the gap; just squeeze enough to cover the gap + a bit more then use your finger to slide along the edge to make it even and good.
