Kabinet direka bentuk secara kejuruteraan,bukan sekadar rupa.

Cabinet specification is deciding a cabinet as an engineered product — its core material, hardware grade, ventilation, LED and driver access, profiles and service gaps — not just its look. In Sibu's humidity and termite-active climate, the core and hardware you choose by moisture zone decide whether a cabinet lasts or swells and fails within a year or two.

ELS by ALUMAX clarifies the specification: core by moisture zone, hardware grade, ventilation and drainage logic, LED and driver access, profile details and service gaps — written as a cabinet sheet. ALUMAX supplies the product system, and our appointed service team installs it, built to that approved sheet. Design and specification on one side; supply, production and installation — each its own quoted line — on the other.

For a simple, like-for-like cabinet or wardrobe in a dry zone, ALUMAX can handle the product directly — no ELS layer needed. Involve ELS by ALUMAX when the job is more complex: wet kitchens, mixed moisture zones, LED and appliance coordination, or when several trades and an approved scope need to line up before anyone quotes.

A dry kitchen handles display, light storage and appliances, so board cores and finish-led choices are usually fine — as long as ventilation, electrical points and LED driver access are planned. A wet kitchen sees heavy cooking, washing and standing water, so it needs moisture-stable or aluminium cores, sealed edges, drainage falls and hood ducting. Using dry-kitchen logic in a wet kitchen is one of the most common — and costly — mistakes in Sarawak homes.

Sibu terletak di kawasan yang lembap dan aktif anai-anai. Teras papan tanpa kedap menyerap lembapan dan mengembang; kayu dan papan tanpa rawatan boleh dikorek oleh anai-anai sebelum disedari. Untuk zon basah dan berisiko tinggi kami cenderung kepada teras bukan selulosa seperti aluminium, dengan tepi berkedap, kaki dinaikkan dan saliran — supaya kotak kabinet bukan makanan anai-anai dan tidak duduk dalam air.

Strip lighting, drivers and concealed fittings fail eventually. If access wasn't planned into the cabinet — driver bays, access panels and serviceable LED channels — a simple repair means tearing the cabinet apart. Specifying access up front is cheap; retrofitting it is not. That's exactly the kind of decision a cabinet specification settles before fabrication.

Cabinet specification is delivered under the ELS Design + Specification service, from RM1,500 (excl. SST). The figure scales with scope — how many zones, cabinets and coordination points are involved — and the final cost is confirmed after site measurement. ALUMAX then supplies the product to the approved specification, with installation carried out by the appointed service team and quoted separately.
