faranggirl 2 Report post Posted July 7, 2012 Hi calmwaters,I've got the Blum pricelists. Let me know if you want them. Blum drawer sets are expensive like at least $100 per drawer. I would recommend you to buy the Tandem drawer runners instead. Much cheaper and pretty much the same (without the Blum word at the side of the drawers hahaz) Prices will be the same, depending on pfr basis and if you want blum drawers will be add on the price lo.Should be the retail price la. And Blum tandem runners and Soft closing should be included in the pfr price... at least for my contractor.Shouldn't have additional installation fees also la. Cheers ,MikeHello Mike,If you don't mind, can u PM me the price list for Blum? Thank you in advance!!Angie Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
taichipanda 3 Report post Posted July 12, 2012 Thus I assume that the $100 per feet should be decent?So how? You and your carpenter want to come see my kitchen cabinet to see if they can do the same for you for $100 pfr? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

This type of lamination cannot see the joint?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.

One of the example vividly rem was between the edges of two laminates on the tv feature wall. I can see its black outline clearly...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.

calmwaters 0 Report post Posted July 14, 2012 Hi Taichi Panda,Don't doubt me leh. I am not promoting any kind of services here. I settled my blum issue with my contractor already so did not come back to view the thread.By the way, another question. My contractor also told me that ABS trimming can only be done for the doors of the cabinets and cannot be done at the 'side panels' of the cabinets. So he can only use white plaster to plaster the gaps between the laminates. Is that true???Thanks! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
