Kitchen Renovation In Singapore

Singapore was once under the colonisation of Britain. If you been to Singapore, area like Seletar, you will see big white colonise houses. Normally, when come to renovation for these houses, the owner would need to include new cabinetry. Colonise houses often do not in-built cabinets, same as older home; they commonly have inadequate or outdated cabinets. Homes like these generally use furniture instead of built in cabinets.

Enamel coated metal or plywood cabinets can still be found in those old houses. Hence, during a kitchen renovation, those dated styles and inferior materials will be replaced. Those kitchen cabinets normally showed the aftermath of a chip in the thin coating of “finish” on composition board or fibre board cabinet.
