Granite On Kitchen Cabinet Top

Featured Replies

Hi

Been pondering over using granite as my kitchen cabinet top. However, heard from some friends that it is required to erect concrete legs using hollow blocks along the cabinet length to support the weight of the granite top. Is this a requirement or there are alternative methods of supporting the granite top?

What will be the typical cost of granite top?

Also, i am thinking of installing Blum system to the cabinets.

What is the average unit cost price of installing Blum system into my kitchen drawers? I have seen Blum system for drawers, but do they exists for cabinet doors with hinges?

Thanks

Using granite as your kitchen cabinet top is definite a good choice. However, choosing India or China granites does make a difference though. If you want low cost and lighter colour, go for China granites. I have a friend who work in this line (not convenient to name his company), you can ask him directly if you want. You can get his number from me. He is quite experienced and have good product knowledge. =)

Maybe I should post my kitchen granite top with Blum drawers and cabinet for you to understand better. :)

granite top for kitchen cabinet is a fantastic choice....and there's no need for contrete supports of sorts. i've retrofitted the kitchen cabinet in my previous condo with no issues. the contractor just tore off the old timber top & fitted the new granite top. of cos your existing cabinet frame has to still be in good condition lo..... :sport-smiley-003:

Hi folks

Thanks for replies. I just checked with Blum, we cant buy direct from them but from their list of recommended partners. Do we need to get a carpenter from the list or I can select a carpenter out from this list and have them fit Blum system into my cabinets.

What is the typical cost of the granite top? I do like these on my cabinet top but need to consider the budget too

Hi jaskel
