Common mistakeDo this instead
Wood-based board in a constant-wet zone Aluminium where water is constant
Trusting “moisture-resistant” as waterproof It resists humidity — not standing water
Cut edges left unsealed in humid areas Seal every edge, even the hidden ones
Product-only budget, then surprised by extras Agree what the budget includes up front
Most cabinet regrets come from a handful of avoidable calls — decide by zone, seal edges, ventilate, and confirm your budget scope early.

Material & zone mistakes材料与区域方面的错误

  • Choosing wood-based board for a wet zone because it looks the same as the dry-zone cabinet.因为外观与干区橱柜一样,就为湿区选用木质板材。
  • Believing ‘moisture-resistant’ means waterproof.以为“防潮”就等于防水。
  • Treating an E0/ENF emission grade as a moisture rating.把 E0/ENF 释放等级当作防潮评级。
  • Leaving cut edges unsealed in humid areas.在潮湿区域,让切割边缘未经封边。

Build & habit mistakes施工与使用习惯方面的错误

  • Full-height wardrobe against a damp external wall with no air gap.整面到顶的衣柜紧贴潮湿外墙,且无空气间隙。
  • Sealing a humid cabinet with no ventilation (trapped smell and mould).把潮湿的橱柜在不通风的情况下密封(导致异味与霉菌积聚)。
  • Tall doors over ~2.4 m with no stabiliser.高度超过约 2.4 米的高身门板却无稳定器。
  • Budgeting product-only, then being surprised by countertop, electrical or tiling.只为产品本身做预算,结果在台面、电路或铺砖上措手不及。

Common questions常见问题

People also ask其他人也在问

Does moisture-resistant board mean my cabinet is waterproof?防潮板是不是代表我的橱柜就防水了?

No. One of the most common mistakes in Sarawak homes is believing 'moisture-resistant' means waterproof. Moisture-resistant board is not waterproof, so wood-based board should not be used in a wet zone, and every cut edge should still be sealed in humid areas.不是。砂拉越家庭最常见的错误之一,就是以为「防潮」等于「防水」。防潮板并非防水,所以湿区不应使用木质板材,潮湿环境下每一个切割边都仍需封边处理。

Why does mould keep growing where my wardrobe meets the wall?为什么衣柜贴墙的地方一直长霉?

A common build mistake is placing a full-height wardrobe against a damp external wall with no air gap. The guide also warns against sealing a humid cabinet with no ventilation, which traps smell and mould; the fix is to check damp walls, leave an air gap and keep the cabinet ventilated.常见的施工错误,就是把到顶衣柜紧贴潮湿的外墙、却没有留空气间隙。这份指南也提醒不要把潮湿的橱柜密封而不通风,否则会困住异味和霉菌;解决方法是先检查潮湿的墙面、预留空气间隙,并保持橱柜通风。

Why did my cabinet end up costing more than the quoted price?为什么我的橱柜最后比报价还贵?

A common budgeting mistake is pricing the product only, then being surprised by countertop, electrical or tiling. The guide advises agreeing up front exactly what your budget includes, and points to the 2-minute Budget Range pre-check on alumax.pro to walk through these decisions.常见的预算错误,是只算了产品本身,然后被台面、电力或瓷砖工程吓到。指南建议一开始就讲清楚预算包含哪些项目,并提到可在 alumax.pro 上做约两分钟的预算范围预先评估,来理清这些决定。
