L shaped kitchen approx 3.5m sq.
1. Worktop: Solid laminate or chipboard laminate. Solid is hard to cut from what I have read? Is DIY realistic. Butt joints seem to be recommended for solid?
Toying with cutting a curve at one end of the worktop, again is that realistic with solid laminate?
If using a solid laminate worktop, do you raise the cabinet legs by the difference in thickness 38mm-12.5mm = 25.5mm?
2. Sink mixer, the sink is stainless steel Franke. How well can they cope with a large mixer tap without deflection?
Or is an undermounted sink and the tap mounted on the worktop stronger?
3. Miele fridge but cannot be have a cabinet door on the fridge door according to Miele. Are there generic brackets to use to achieve this and is the fridge door drilled in so doing?
