About Kitchen Renovation
Flooring choices for a kitchen
Porcelain tile rated R10 or higher gives grip and resists water. Vinyl planks handle spills but can fade near strong sunlight. Engineered wood looks warm but may swell if water sits on it. Underlayment quality matters: a 3 mm acoustic layer reduces noise and levels minor subfloor dips.
What a kitchen renovation usually covers
A kitchen renovation can mean changing cabinets, countertops, flooring, lighting, plumbing, or the whole layout. Some jobs stay cosmetic: paint, hardware, a new sink. Others remove walls, move gas lines, or relocate the range. Decide early if you want a refresh or a structural rebuild, because the scope changes the team you need and the permits involved.
Plumbing, gas, and ventilation checks
Shut-off valves older than 15 years often fail during work, so replace them while the walls are open. A range hood must vent to the outside, not into the attic or a wall cavity. Dishwasher air gaps prevent sink backflow. Gas lines need a pressure test after any change. Ask for a copy of every test certificate before walls close.
Cabinet construction and materials
Cabinet boxes come in MDF, plywood, or solid wood. Plywood resists moisture better than MDF in areas near the sink. Drawer runners should be rated for at least 30 kg if heavy cookware will be stored. Soft-close hinges last longer than basic models, so ask which brand and model the quote specifies.
Questions to ask before signing
Ask for the payment schedule, the warranty on labour, and the warranty on materials. Request references from kitchens finished in the last 12 months. Confirm who handles permits, delivery coordination, and final cleaning. Also ask which days the crew works and how noisy phases are scheduled around your routine.
Flooring choices for a kitchen
Porcelain tile handles spills and dropped pans, but the grout needs sealing every 1 to 2 years. Luxury vinyl planks are waterproof and softer underfoot, yet heat from ovens can warp cheap products. Engineered wood looks like real wood but tolerates only limited moisture. Natural stone is durable but slippery when wet unless textured or honed.
Typical timeframes for each phase
Demolition takes 1 to 3 days for an average home kitchen. Cabinet installation needs 2 to 4 days once units are delivered. Countertop measuring happens after cabinets are fixed, then fabrication takes 7 to 14 days. Tile or flooring work adds another 3 to 5 days, so total time often falls between 4 and 8 weeks.
Common problems during renovation
Cabinets arrive with the wrong dimensions, causing delays of 2 to 4 weeks. Hidden water damage behind tiles is often discovered during demolition, raising the cost. Appliances may not fit the planned openings. A written change-order process helps handle these surprises without arguing about money on the spot.
Cabinet construction and box materials
Cabinet boxes come in three main types: solid plywood, MDF with a melamine skin, or particleboard. Plywood handles moisture best and lasts longer near the sink. MDF gives a smooth paint finish. Particleboard is the cheapest but sags if it gets wet. Ask the maker about the thickness of the side panels, usually 16 mm to 19 mm, and the drawer slide rating.
How to verify the finished work
Open every drawer and door. Run water in the sink while the dishwasher drains to check for gurgling. Test every outlet with a plug-in tester. Place a level on the countertop and across the floor. Confirm the range hood actually pulls air, not just blows it. Walk the room with the contractor and write a punch list before the final payment.
