Other Choices

Timber Veneer

Timber veneer is a thin layer of real wood stuck to a particleboard or medium density board to create a very smooth flat timber surface. Although you cannot create profiles in timber veneered doors, however, create patterns in timber veneered doors just by laying the timber grains in different directions.

Glass

Glass doors are often used together with other doors in a kitchen to break up the cabinet boxes”. However there is no rule saying that you can’t have your kitchen fitted entirely with glass doors. Glass doors are usually framed in either material that matches other doors in a kitchen or contrasting material and frameless glass doors are also available. Clear glass doors are perfect for displaying your favourite items while frosted glass doors and solid coloured glass doors provide privacy.

1. Quality of the products

Make sure the cabinets and doors are made from high density, water resistant board.

2. Comparison

Take time to get at least three quotations, compare who gives you better offer, not only the price but also better quality of the products and services.

3. Qualification

Ensure all tradesmen have the required license; even the person handling the installation needs a license. A lot of home owners try to save money by installing themselves or reducing cost by hiring unqualified trades people. This not only wastes your time, but it could also cost you much more if something goes wrong.

4.  Future Needs

Go beyond aesthetics. The kitchen should make the house more liveable and future upgrade should be considered. For example when you want to sell your house, consider the potential buyers needs.

Remove your old kitchen once you confirmed the tradesmen (plumber, electrician, and kitchen installer.) start the work the next day.

8. Tax Invoice

Always keep your tax invoice for tax purposes; you can deduct this purchase against the capital gain tax.

9. Green our environments

Make sure the products are meeting the International Environment Standard.

Don’t forget to ask your kitchen company how many years warranty they provide.

4. Install kitchen cabinets and door panels (app. 1 day)

5. Bench top man comes to measure for the template, order kitchen bench top and install (Once the measurements are taken, you might have to wait from 5 days to 12 working days for the bench tops to be fabricated and installation only needs 1 day.)

6. Get back the electricians and plumbers to reconnect the power and water (1 day) *you can use kitchen at this point now*

7. Install the splashback: • Tile splash back can be done in 1 day. • Stone splash back can be done on same day with bench top. • For the glass splash back, you might have to wait from 7 days to 15 working days for the processing and painting and installation only needs 1 day.

To make the decision making process a little easier, there are five main steps homeowners should think through when choosing kitchen cabinets.

1.    Determine Budget: Calculate the budget for the whole kitchen remodeling project. It is typically advised to allocate 30-50% of the budget to the kitchen cabinets.

2.    Select Cabinet Construction: There are three main types of cabinet construction available – stock, semi-custom and custom. The selection made here is usually determined by the budget that is available. Stock cabinets are pre-made in certain styles, sizes and finishes and are the cheapest option. Semi-custom cabinets will allow homeowners to change certain aspects of the cabinets, and custom cabinets are entirely unique to the space. The more custom the kitchen cabinets, the higher the price tag.

3.    Choose Cabinet Style: The design chosen for cabinet doors has a large impact on the overall style of the space. Clean lines work best for a modern space, while ornate and decorate details will create more of a traditional feel.

4.    Select Cabinet Material: The material of the cabinet will also impact the style of the kitchen. The three main material options are wood, metal and laminate. Wood is the most popular option for the majority of kitchens. Metal is becoming increasingly popular in modern and contemporary spaces.

5.    Choose Cabinet Finish: Wood cabinets can be stained or painted a variety of colors. Wood cabinets can also be left as is to highlight the natural wood color. Metal and laminate cabinets can be made in different colors as well.

By following these five steps, choosing the perfect kitchen cabinets becomes a breeze.
