Kitchen Cabinet - Standard Practice

This is very common due to your mortar base is not flat or your wall is slanted.

Your carpenter should seal the gap with silicon. Since now you discover ants and roaches in your kitchen, i would suggest you squeeze some roach and ant bait (poison) into the gap and seal it up with silicon, you can buy at home-fix, cost only a few dollars.

Wow... quite a big gap to seal with silicon huh....maybe u could cover with a piece of plywood first before sealing with silicon. Best if you can post more pics so we can see more clearly.

Seriously the gap is not big, just seal with silicon, when the silicon is hardened, it will act as a sturdy support for the base cabinet too.

I am not asking you to squeeze the whole tube of silicon into the gap; just squeeze enough to cover the gap + a bit more then use your finger to slide along the edge to make it even and good.

Still feel its quite big... 1.5 to 2cm for the whole length of cabinet 8~10feet?. Can fill with silicon la but its gonna take awhile man.

No joke. And dun use your hand la. Get a proper tool or use ice cream stick also can la lol

sorry for hijack this thread,we are currently in the midst of renovation.

We used a Spirit Measuring Levels to measure the wet kitchen concrete table top with tiles, and realise its sightly slanted.

Is this normal?

Customers like you can be called difficult.

Will the slant affect anything?

Does the water logged one side becos if it and cannot flow, even if there was some water log, those are tiles and cannot adsorb water, right?

Of course, if you want tiler to tile straight straight all the way using the level to check every surface.

He'll also be straight upfront to charge you a BIGGER sum for all the time consuming work he'll have to do the job rather than using estimation only!
