Why Renovate

Old Cabinets Failing? Here's the Real Problem.

Singapore's humidity destroys ordinary kitchen cabinets within 5-8 years. Most homeowners don't realise the damage until it's too late.

Common Kitchen Problems

  • Cabinet boards swell and warp from daily moisture and steam exposure
  • Mould grows behind sink cabinets and under countertops in humid conditions
  • Cheap edge-banding peels off, allowing water to penetrate the board core
  • Termites silently damage wooden structures, especially in older HDB flats
  • Poor layouts waste space — fixed plumbing makes DIY redesign impossible
  • Low-grade E1 boards release formaldehyde, affecting indoor air quality

The CASAWAVE Approach

  • Waterproof chassis design — ABS base + aluminium skirting protects cabinet bottoms
  • Sealed edge technology — laser-sealed edges block moisture ingress completely
  • ENF / F4 certified boards — extremely low formaldehyde, safer for families
  • Termite-safe construction — material choices that reduce pest risk vs basic carpentry
  • Smart layout planning — designed around existing plumbing and electrical points
  • Factory precision manufacturing — consistent dimensions, cleaner installation
Our Approach

Kitchen Renovation, Designed for Singapore

From HDB BTO to landed homes — every kitchen is planned around your space, your habits, and Singapore's climate.

Moisture Protection

Waterproof Cabinet Structure

Many homeowners in Singapore renovate their kitchens because old kitchen cabinets suffer from moisture swelling, mould, and soft edges over time. Our custom kitchen cabinets are built with moisture-resistant boards, sealed edges, and an ABS base with aluminium skirting to protect against floor moisture — especially critical for kitchens connected to a service yard or wet sink zone.

  • Moisture-resistant boards rated for humid environments
  • Laser-sealed edges prevent water penetration
  • ABS base + aluminium skirting for bottom protection
  • Optional full-aluminium cabinets for high-moisture zones

Layout Design

Smart Kitchen Layouts for Every Home

Whether you're working with a compact HDB BTO kitchen or a spacious landed home, our design team plans around existing plumbing positions, floor traps and electrical constraints. Custom layouts improve storage and workflow for older flat layouts and compact condo kitchens — making cabinet replacement cleaner, faster and more cost-controlled.

  • HDB BTO — space-optimised layouts, practical storage systems
  • Condo — seamless design, integrated appliances, premium finishes
  • Landed — island kitchens, larger capacity, custom configurations
  • Planning around existing constraints avoids unnecessary demolition

Materials & Hardware

Premium Materials for Daily Kitchen Use

All our custom kitchens are built with ENF / F4 eco-friendly boards — the highest environmental standard available, outperforming local carpentry's E1 boards in formaldehyde emission control. Combined with international-grade hardware systems, soft-close hinges and drawers, every component is selected for long-term daily use in Singapore's demanding kitchen environment.

  • ENF / F4 certified boards — extremely low formaldehyde
  • International hardware systems — premium hinges & drawer runners
  • Soft-close mechanisms on all doors and drawers
  • Better internal organisation for kitchens that lack storage

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about kitchen renovation in Singapore.

Not necessarily. Many kitchen renovation projects in Singapore can focus on cabinet removal and replacement, while keeping tiles and major plumbing points unchanged (depending on site condition). CASAWAVE assesses each project individually to minimise unnecessary demolition and cost.
A typical kitchen renovation takes 3-5 weeks from design confirmation to handover. This includes 1-2 weeks for design and material selection, 2-3 weeks for factory production, and 2-3 days for on-site installation. HDB permit applications (if hacking is involved) may add additional processing time.
Our cabinets use moisture-resistant ENF/F4 certified boards with sealed edges, ABS base protection, and aluminium skirting to guard against water damage. We also use termite-safe construction practices and material choices to reduce pest risks. Note: no cabinet can be "100% waterproof" in all conditions — proper design, detailing and installation quality make the real difference.
Absolutely. We regularly handle HDB BTO kitchen renovation and cabinet replacement projects. Our team plans around existing plumbing positions, floor traps and electrical constraints, making the process cleaner, faster and more cost-controlled than full renovation.
For most cabinet replacement projects, existing plumbing can remain in place. If your renovation requires plumbing relocation (e.g., moving the sink position), we can coordinate with licensed plumbers as part of the project scope. We'll advise during the site inspection.
Yes. Many clients start with kitchen cabinet replacement first. We can phase the renovation to match your timeline and budget. Kitchen-only renovation is one of our most common project types. For homes undergoing larger upgrades, our kitchens are frequently designed alongside moisture-resistant flooring projects.
