[applefreak 1]

hehehe, it's okay coz me have concrete support for my new home

current home is a s/s sink with drainer so the whole sink is sitting on two concrete legs

bit worried that the sink will give way

so all chopping done on the floor

stove support not so critical coz don't really use a lot of strength right?

my new home dun have stove support leh

price-wise, 4ft concrete support is $680 while 4ft bottom cabinet is $400

Hi APPLE

Thks for your info.

So can I say it is std for 4ft concrete support = $680 (+ n - ), is it the leg??

and 4ft bottom cabinet is $400 (+ n - )??

One more thing, the contractor will have it laminated it up so that the conrete support will not be seem.

Is that so?

Yes, my mum had her sink and gas hob areas done with hollow block and tile supports as these 2 areas are very prone to wear & tear from her heavy duty cooking & washing which normal wooden cabinets cannot withstand. They are more costly but it was deemed more appropriate.

Picture of hollow block with tiles done up & sink and dustbin installed:

not just the legs, you can see from the pix that it is basically a structure to hold the sink up

the price excludes the countertop though

if you dun want to pay extra for the countertop can opt for tiled surface as well

it's tiled coz laminate also cannot tahan water

Once again, thanks!!

So means the sink and stove will have concrete 'leg'.

But it is ok lah.

The rest of the cabinet will be laminated with abs trimming.

Hey, I thought of having the 'metal' laminated but it cost more.....

actually you might want to consider what i did

i choose the tiles that's the same colour as my kitchen cabinets

and use the same countertop to create a 'seamless' look

not really very successful but good enough for me !!

figured not going to slam the stove too hard so cabinet will be good enough

below the stove is two BIG drawers to store all the pots and woks

cool! i am considering to use blum drawers also! although expensive, it is a worthwhile investment!

may i know what are the dimensions and the prices???

thanks!

erm, my contractor is very nice

he charged me $60 for each drawers, regardless of size, for the runners only

i.e. only the sliding mechanism are blumotion but the drawers are constructed by him :notti:

oh, i din know can just buy runners only... clever idea!

izzit stated in the runner specifications the max load each drawer can take?? cos blum seems to have drawers with different max load ratings e.g. 30 kg/drawer or 50kg drawer....

[applefreak 1]

hehehe, that was suggested by my carpenter and contractor

they know i got very small budget so think of ways and means to help me cut cost :furious:

think the max load would refer more to the base of the drawers rather than the runners bah

anyway dun think i will put things with combined weight of 30kg inside a drawer

these things would go into the store room loh
