Hi Drekko, there is no question that your cook top has been installed far to close to a combustible material and should never have passed final inspection. As Chippy has…

Thanks Borisdavenport for the advise. Could you please tell me where I can purchase this sealer from in Australia?

Hi all,
Have just come over from the kitchen forum to ask for some advice. I have had quite a large amount of Boral, concrete Travertine smoke coloured pavers installed in…

Hi Oneness,
it depends on the brand of the hinge. For example Blum sells a hinge restrictor that does exactly what you are asking for, stops the hinge from opening at…

Hi CEK, I guess it's all down to personal opinion, but to answer your question - I do both vinyl and painted kitchens, it's purely what the client is wanting.…

Hi Althom,
I worked many years with a company than manufactured Vinyl wrap doors and to say they had a deserved bad reputation would be an understatement. Not only was the…

Hi Sunnyside, I have internal drawers in my metre wide pantry. The doors have tip ons (push to open) and the drawers are fully extendable, soft close from blum. It…

The old debate - It Vinyl for me every time!

Hi peterndm,
have you considered a glass splashback? It's all a personal preference, but for me an all white kitchen and splashback looks great. I have just installed my white kitchen,…

Hi K.goldington,
I have just installed a new kitchen in my own home and gone with Caesarstone "Frosty Carrina" and I love it. I think the colour isn't as busy…

Hi TomCat,
Caesarstone is virtually non porous, so not sure if the odour could be coming from your stone? Sometimes when there is a gap between the time your old kitchen…

Hi teigs1,
according to the Polytec website, Argento Stone gloss laminate can be postformed as a tight roll, providing it is on a 40mm substrate, which is the thickness of most…

Hi Annie91,
they are possibly the templates done by the installer for the stone mason to make your stone tops from. Most stone masons do their own and take them away…

Hi Megg,
I have just put in a rather large kitchen with servo drive throughout in my own house, also in white gloss vinyl. I chose 20mm stone not as a…

ah the old 2 pac versus vinyl debate again. I prefer vinyl any day over paint. But that's just my opinion!

Hi Megg,
yes there certainly is a push to open soft close mechanism other than servo drive. Blum released a mechanism some time ago called a "tip on for Tandembox…

Hi Caff,
why not make a feature of your Vintek wine fridge and position it on the reverse side of your island? Incorporate the fridge into some cabinetry. We have done…

Hi Nicoolnocks,
Can I ask what you are looking to spend on a makeover? As CEK has said, once you take away the tops, doors and appliances all you are left…

Hi Beazley77,
the housing for the LED strip lights is known as a diffuser, and is used to take the dotted effect away from the strip lighting. I personally prefer the…

Hi Ktotherose,
I have just installed my own kitchen and gone all drawers throughout the whole kitchen. Along with the drawers the wall cabinets have servo drive. I just love the…

Just putting in my own kitchen now and I had a list of things I could not go without this time around
- undermount sink with drainer grooves
- boiling water…

Potentially a third problem, the cabinet the range hood is attached to may be slightly too small. Check that the cabinet is exactly 600mm wide.

Hi Toomanywhites,
are you able to post a photo? What brand is the stone? And what is the stone mason who installed the stone saying? Sounds like he needs to return…

Hi Grakat,
I wouldn't be too concerned, providing everything is sealed when the kitchen is complete, then it should be ok. If you see gaps where pest can come through then…

Hi,
the stone mason we use crushes the offcuts and sells for garden ornamental fill.
I do get the desire to have the offcuts for a place to put a…

Hi Alexf40,
Gaggenau is certainly a good high quality and reliable brand of appliances. When importing my only concern would be the warranty. What happens if one of the appliances arrives…

Hi Jew1974,
I will probably have the "kitchen makeover army" up in arms here, but my theory on makeovers is this. When most people think makeovers they are talking doors, panels,…

Hi Serialstyler,
like CEK, I am a little worried about your knowledge around how to fix wall cabinets to the wall. I would never like to see you have a…

Hi Dolphinblu,
Have you looked at the new Caesarstone concrete? No sealing required, and non porous.
Looks quite a lot like real concrete.

Hi ablative,
it looks like a ultra high gloss createc board, maybe European Wallnut.
