Mam cleaning to regularly zaruri hi hoti hai na :-(

These videos have clients in mind. Not carpenters.

Not sure what you mean by that.

You can reduce the effect by using color core laminates. These are much more expensive though and dont have as many color options also.

Hello Miland, we use software to determine that and it depends a lot on the design. Number of drawers, number of ledges, what design is coming on the shutters etc. Its not possible to give that quantity like this.

Any laminate will fade if exposed to direct sunlight. That is why they are all Interior design. For exterior, there are different material and finishes.

Every person has different tastes, likes and dislikes. Lets not try and force fit our likes on others.

We dont calculate tables in sft basis. Its normally a fixed price based on size, material and design.

Hi, it comes in a maximum width of 25mm for some designs but mostly for 18mm. If you have a thicker edge, then you dont have an option but to go for laminate which is sharp. Another options are veneers, PU or wooden bidding which can work if the laminate is wooden grain. These are more expensive options.

Hi Vijay, if its an independent house / villa, then loop in the designer once the walls are up so that they can also help you with electrical fittings etc. If its a flat then usually builders will not allow such changes in which case, keep a month for smaller budgets (less than 8-10 lakhs) and 2 months for larger budgets for design.

I think you mean why 42. Thats a standard 4 door wardrobe with height of 7' and width of 6'. So 7X6=42.

You get an edge banding machine for this. Thats what its called.

Thank you 🙂

No such thing. Genuine acrylic will always be more scratch resistant compared to laminates. There is no difference between laminates for kitchen and for other areas.

Hello. Short answer is No. Reasons: 1. If you are going to apply PU, dont use plywood for the surface. Use a good quality HDF for the surface where PU will be applied. Best will be HDHMR from Action Tesa. 2. Prefer glossy PU. Oil stains become very clearly visible on matte surface and hence not recommended for kitchens. 3. Which brand PU are you planning? Go for ICA (not ICI) since that is much more superior compared to Asian Paints which is normally used.

No. Most carpenters will be unable to or unwilling to use PVC edge banding. Plus the finish requires practice if its done by hand. Use only experienced carpenters for this work.

Thanks

Its most likely because of using laminates on the edges. Only for the edges, get the laminates removed and stick PVC edge banding like we have shown in this video. It might cost a bit but will give you a much better place.

If its a simple table with 4 legs, usually people charge either lumpsum or look at the table in the same way as any wardrobe and charge an sft rate.

Depends on if its part of a bigger project or just a single cabinet but for decent quality material, it should be between 1200 and 1600 per sft.

Per process labor cost is difficult to give. The entire process includes pressing, cutting, edge banding, boring etc.

On site edge banding work with 2mm PVC requires carpenter skills to give a good finish. In factory, that job is done by machines.

We really dont know the reason for the edges being sharp but you can possibly use a high number sand paper (140-150) and sand the corners. It will leave a mark but if the edges are too sharp, they could be rounded up just a bit.

Area of cabinets. You can check this link for more details: www.simplyinteriors.in/interior-design-cost-per-square-foot

tnku sir @@simplyinteriors

Glad it helped

If you know the hardware, you can get some basic rates online but many of these are usually old. Good for approximation. Again, cost of installation of hardware, transportation etc is not included here.

Brands also have low quality. At level of a novice, you can just look for ISI marks and make sure that the brand is not one of cheaper ones.

No idea. We dont work in that model.

Hi Raghav, carpenters usually have a tendency to either use local brands or mix water in fevicol. Dont do that. Use fevicol that they work with for sticking laminates and then use abro tape to let it dry for at least 3-4 days. Should work if carpenter's quality is ok. Edge banding is extra cost and hassle for them that is why they give all reasons for not using it.

Dear Sir, at present we are not doing online consultation.

Carpenters usually do it by hand. Same neatness does'nt come unless they are trained and have worked for a while with 2mm PVC edge banding. There is an edge bander which comes to be used by hand as well. Again, the carpenter needs to be trained to use it else you will have lot of damaged shutters and material. This is the reason, most of the local carpenters will convince customers that laminates are better for edges or will use 0.8mm edge banding for shutters also.

Hi Raghavendra. In this video, its not due to bending but because the final alignment was not done by carpenters when the video was taken. Coming to the point of bending, we have tried 25mm plywood, HDHMR, 25mm blockboards, thicker laminates both inside and outside, EBCO anti bending fitting etc etc but a slight bending of sliding shutters is difficult to avoid. But it is kept within a margin by keeping good quality plywood and ensuring proper practices are followed at the time of execution.

This one is modular except TV unit which was on-site.

Sorry about that but do refer us to your friends in Bangalore, Hyderabad and Pune. Would love to work in Kolkata though but in due course of time.

Hi Shila, they both have pros and cons. If you are fortunate to have a good on-site contractor then go ahead with that but if you are not aware or are only looking for simple laminate or sheet acrylic finishes then go for factory finish. PU, liquid acrylic, veneer come out much better if given an onsite treatment but make sure your contractor knows his stuff. We do work in Bangalore, Hyderabad and Pune. In case you are in any of these places then you can drop in your details (phone number and city) here and our team will connect.

Thanks a lot 😊

Not advisable since the space is too small.

Thank you

It needs around 2 days in factory and another 4-5 days for installation. But neither the factory nor the installation team is sitting waiting for the project hence everything goes into a queue. Also, once a client finalizes his finishes like laminates, they need to be ordered. Not all of them are readily available and can take time to arrive. On site work is largely dependent on the quality of labor while factory work depends on quality of machines.

We respect your experience and agree that there are advantages and disadvantages of doing both. In the last 12 years, we have not had to go and tighten screws as well and we undertake both modular and on-site work. It is wrong to say that factory work is not long lasting unless it is made using cheap machines (available in abundance) and cheap material (since you are from Kerala, I am sure you know about the quality of plywood)... But we agree that compared to work done on-site by highly skilled labor, factory work has definite disadvantages. Possibly the only advantage in that case is that it takes lesser time and lesser cost.

Yes, perfectly correct theoretically.
