bleucheeze 1 Report post Posted December 21, 2012 Selection of Kompactop for Kitchen top and vanity topAre you using Kompactop for kitchen top or as kitchen cabinet laminate?

Not many people using it so far, can't find alot of feedback. Thanks! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thanks!I will be using Kompactop and have notified Doreen Lee from Kompacplus about it. She would be sending her people during 1st week of Jan to do site measure and install within 5 working days. She brought the sample and brochure to my home in a short notice. eekenji is using and has photographs showing the finished product. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yes, there is a standard height for the swtiches and kitchen counter top, basins if you did not specify.As both my wife and me are >1.7m tall, we requested the kitchen counter top & basins to be 900mm from floor level so that we don't have to bend excessively. My MIL would probably be the one complaining when she come to my place to cook! For my kids, they probably have to bring their stools around to brush teeth, turn on the light.
