matrix0405 0 Report post Posted May 26, 2010 Using concrete skeleton seems like a good idea. U still can 'wrap' it up with solid surface and wooden doors to give it a 'morden' look. Would it be cheaper and longer lasting than having wood skeleton all the way? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

In fact, same goes to wardrobe, I rather pay for pole system then wooden cabinet, moreover pole system is flexible in some ways. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jtjw 0 Report post Posted June 14, 2010 oh I didnt explore this option, cos my mom place was concrete top which I thought its rather old fashion.

My carpenter suggest putting those thick laminates inside the cabinet under the sink instead of those thin white laminates. They mention it will be longer last and less prone to water and moisture.

Tiler Seng 57 Report post Posted March 15, 2014 Have done so many hidden concrete support, will try teach RT former how it goes....when I have time Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BunBun 5 Report post Posted April 27, 2014 I am wondering since tiling is done for concrete top, sides and base .. is tiling also done underneath the concrete top? I am referring to the underside of the concrete top which you will see when you open the cabinet doors and look upward. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tiler Seng 57 Report post Posted May 2, 2014 i don't think its a good idea to paste heavy tile underneath when there is a gravity count.just let it be cement finished. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BunBun 5 Report post Posted May 12, 2014 Thank you Tiler Seng. Just to ask what is the cost to remove existing 13ft bottom kitchen cabinets, solid surface top and do a 13 ft concrete countertop with cabinet doors instead? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

rumrum 1 Report post Posted June 12, 2014 hi tilerseng, if I had just renovated my kitchen not long ago and I want to build concrete support under kitchen sink, must the whole tabletop be removed? Can just remove the interiors of the cabinet and build concrete support & tiled it mah? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
