Hi All,

We just bought a resale 8yrs old HDB flat. Need to do some reno and on budget. I don't cook much but like to have a new kitchen.

Please help to advice if this kitchen quote(minus hacking) is high?

The granite top seems pricey but i have no idea what's the next best thing. The common tops used in SG is Corian and/or laminates? These tops were be less pricer but are they gonna last?

Thanks!

Hi,

A common cheaper alternative is solid surface. It's good enough to last for years. I think you meant 'postform' when you said 'laminates'. The older generation used postform and it lasted them for ages as well but most of us don't use them anymore. Solid surface looks better and feels more solid.

if you need direct factory contact, i can help.

you can email to marc@cimtechipl.com

they are a direct factory for cabinet and granite top, very cheap.
