1. Wardrobes, Vanities, Kitchen cabinets

1A. Wardrobe Carcass (Insides and Back of the wardrobes)

NativeSutra uses branded Marine plywood whereas normal contractor goes for MDF or normal board. Some fundamental features of Plywood viz. MDF are:-

1. Plywood is made from multiple layers of wood material and is a much stronger material than MDF.

2. Plywood is more resistant to dampness as compared to MDF and hence is less susceptible to water damage.

3. Plywood holds screws very tightly since the varying grains of wood on each layer give screws a better grip.

4. MDF is cheaper than plywood and therefore used by Contractors as a short-cut method to save costs

1B. Laminates

NativeSutra uses high quality Merino Brand (or similar high quality) laminates.  Other contractors use non-standard cheap laminates. Laminates used by NativeSutra offer the following advantages:

1. Merino laminates are the highest quality laminates in the country and comes in various designs.

2. A smart and elegant choice of Matt, Gloss and Lacquer finishes are chosen for the shutters and linen laminates for the carcass.

3. Non-standard laminates are susceptible to developing cracks due to inter-seasonal temperature differences.

1C. Fabrication

NativeSutra wardrobes are completely machine finished in a factory using the latest equipment. Most contractors fabricate the wardrobes manually, usually at the site itself

1. Complete works is machine fabricated in factory and only assembled at site.

2. Tight bonding of the laminate with plywood

3. No room for laminates peeling off over time and no room for bugs.

4. Fabrication at site leads to walls getting dirty which means repainting all the walls again.

2. Kitchens

2A. Design & Layout

NativeSutra’s Kitchens are based on modern and practical design whereas normal contractors may not apply much thought to the design.

1. “Kitchen Work Triangle” principle is used while designing the kitchen. The idea is that your cooker, sink and refrigerator should be positioned to form a triangle. Smaller the triangle, more effective the kitchen.

2. Themes are followed depending on the choice of the client. Cabinet shutters, wall tiles, wallpaper, etc. are suitably used to enrich the space.

3. The back surface of kitchen cabinets is always tiled to avoid seepage eating away into the cabinets.

4. Plumbing and electrical wiring layouts are chalked out as part of overall design. Independent wires are taken from MCB for each point in the kitchen thereby nullifying electricity overload from multiple appliances.

5. Adequate LED lights are provided for counter light under the overhead cabinets

3.  Refrigerator – Space requirements, drinking water pipeline from RO is a must while getting a good quality refrigerator installed.

3. Light Fittings

NativeSutra ensures that appropriate lights are selected, procured, fitted and properly finished. While dealing with a standard contractor one would need to independently procure lights and then get a electrician to fit them and probably a painter to do the finishing

2. A combination of double and single LED wall lights, surface & recessed LED lights, mirror lights etc. is provided as per the specific space.

3. Complete flexibility to use client provided light fittings.

4. Mirror & Glassworks

2. Toughened glass is cleverly used in partitioning spaces.

3. Silicon used at adequate spaces to avoid moisture induced dark spots on the mirror.

5. Fly-mesh shutters

NativeSutra uses retractable, pleated fly mesh shutters in place of non pleated, rust prone, fly mesh in non-retractable shutter used by standard contractors:

1. Retractable, pleated, window/door matching fly-mesh shutters.

2. No hassle of fly-mesh shutter taking valuable indoor space when open.

6. Wall treatment for seepage

NativeSutra addresses this core issue with utmost priority while with a standard contractor there is always a risk that only surface job is done.
