mint 0 Report post Posted March 22, 2007 im making a L shape kitchen cabinet, and patrick suggest to build a short tiled wall behind the L shape cabinet. Purpose is water will not flow downwards. But other ID tell me can just make a pane of glass (cheaper). No need tiled wall, which is more exp. Any one face this issue before?Also Pat says better construct sink support with hollow block below the kitchen. Its optional, but recommended. Is it good? Its exp - costs $400 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Construct glass is cheaper but glass will crack. Tiles although wil crack too but they can withstand higher temperature than glass. i did mine with a stainless steel cover.I also did te sink support. i heard alot of ppl regarding water slipping into the cabinates....so i did tat as well...did patrick told you glass DIFFICULT to maintain? patrick is the type who emphasis more on practical day to day usage/maintainence.I gonna blast patrick...he quote me $600 for sink support... mayb yur sink bigger leh.....

lukecas 0 Report post Posted March 22, 2007 Yup. I also did sink support.... But I think glass backing is easier to maintain compared to Stainless Steel backing. As for tile backing, I feel should be the most tedious to maintain due to the grout between the tiles... If the tiles got pattern, ie, uneven surface, dirt may collect even easier. Thats my 2 cents worth of view.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

lukecas 0 Report post Posted March 22, 2007 While I agree that SS backing may be more durable. but cleaning of SS backing, as far as I know, is quite difficult. Anyway like you mentioned, both SS and glass has its pros and cons. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
