HarryP 0 Report post Posted January 8, 2009 Scatches are inevitable? Not applicable to ur case lor... '三结路' shouldn't be abrasive... Urs is due to poor worksmanship/ carpenters neglience... The drawers tracks must have enough allowance for it to perform well... The allowance given to ur tracks r abit too little (1/16 inch more will be perfect) Lack of tracks allowance will cause the result of urs, track holders scratching the side of drawers, n making it feel abit of tightness when opening... (Sometimes we can't blame the carpenters, worksmanship can't be perfect at all...) Solutions: 1) If u're fine wif it (consider ur contractor n carpenters r gd in nature), jus bear with it as its not a major prob... After using it, the track will perform as normal gradually... 2) Demand ur contractor to fabricate a new drawer wif the correct dimensions... (If u sense they're those nasty type) Thanks de_Pierre for your useful comments. Solution 1 is not a wise choice as we have paid our ID well to do a good job and quality works are expected. I have "complained" to my ID again on this and he finally agree to change new drawers for those with scatches. Thanks again for your reply. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

diablos 0 Report post Posted February 22, 2009 Hi all, The laminates for my kitchen are not cut in a very straight line. The laminate meet/joint lines can be "jagged" !! Can the carpenters remove them and re-paste a new strip? My laminates are plain glossy type, not those textured ones. Should be easier to cut them straight right? And some of the cabinet pvc interior have extra drill-holes caused by the carpenters wrong drilling for the hinges. Anyway to rectify? I see them using some white putty-like stuff to fill, but it looks ugly! Any ideas how to rectify or possible to change that horizontal piece? jagged is because the blades were not sharp when cutting the laminates thus having "dog bite" effects, very common in the industry. White putty can be acceptable if the laminate inside the cabinet matches the putty color but you have the right to reject the whole cabinet if you are fussy. Limit the defects to only 1 hole and not like those in the pictures published above which is totally unacceptable. Normally they will just paste another piece of laminate to cover up the holes caused if you request for a change. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
