Cabinet Making & Installation in Grabouw

Carcasses are usually MDF, plywood or melamine-faced chipboard; fronts range from laminate and vinyl-wrapped MDF to solid timber and painted MDF. Plywood carcasses and solid or painted-MDF doors last longest; the cheapest chipboard swells if it gets wet.

In Grabouw, expect the national typical per linear metre or foot of run, with premium finishes, curved or tall units, and awkward walls pushing costs up. A detailed quote itemises materials, carcasses, doors, hardware and fitting.

Carcass material and thickness, door/front material and finish, hardware (hinges, runners, handles) and their brand, worktop if included, delivery, installation, and any templating or making-good. Vague per-unit prices hide big quality differences in materials and hinges.

In Grabouw, view completed work in person, get the material and hardware spec in writing, and confirm lead times and the fitting scope. Compare quotes on carcass material and hinge/runner brand, not just the headline price.

Flat-pack (IKEA-style) is cheapest and modular; semi-custom uses standard carcasses with a wider choice of doors and sizes; bespoke is built to your exact space and spec. Bespoke costs the most but handles odd dimensions and features a modular range can't.

Cabinetry commonly runs R25,000-120,000 depending on size and finish; a built-in cupboard R6,000-32,000. Melamine is the budget option; wrapped or spray-painted MDF sits higher.
