Average prices for kitchen cabinets in Malaysia
For a basic apartment kitchen that has a wall length of around 6 to 8 feet, you can expect to pay around RM6000 – 7000. With higher quality materials, such as laminated plywood and quartz countertop, you can expect the cost to increase to around RM7500 – 9000.
What factors influence the kitchen cabinet price?
The price of a kitchen cabinet renovation will depend on several areas below:
Kitchen layout
There are 4 common ways to layout your kitchen cabinets. You can place it along one wall to create a single wall layout. Or, you can place it along two parallel walls to create a galley. You can also create an L-shape or U-shape. And if you have space, you can add an island counter in the middle.
Prices of cabinets are calculated in per-foot-run. So, if you have a base cabinet of 6 feet, and a wall cabinet of 4 feet, as well as a tall cabinet of 3 feet, that makes 13 feet in total.
Cabinet frames
The main bulk of your kitchen cost will be the cabinets. And the most common cabinet material will be melamine (chipboard), plywood with laminate layer, or plywood with veneer layer.
Cabinet doors
Typically, the kitchen cabinet doors will either be melamine or plywood. But, you can also upgrade your doors to acrylic or glass.
Countertop
The next costly item will be the countertop. Many kitchen renovation projects in Malaysia choose solid surface for its affordability and variety of colours and patterns. But, there are also stone options in quartz and granite. And recently, a new type of solid surface called ultra-compact surface has started to gain popularity.
Backsplash
To protect the walls, homeowners also install a backsplash along the length of the cabinets. This is usually done with tiles, but some homeowners prefer reflective mirrors or tempered glass, to help make the kitchen look more clean and spacious.
Island
If you are looking to build an island kitchen, it may not just be the costs of extra cabinetry. If you want to add a sink, or cooker on the island, it will need extra plumbing, as well as extended electrical wiring to power anything you want to put on the island.
