Will white cabinets yellow over time

I painted mine super bright white (appliance white) two years ago and have had no problem. I think it would depend on a number of factors - how often you're able to do a thorough cleaning (like spring cleaning), what kind/color cleaner you use, how much grease gets on them that isn't filtered through the range hood, etc.

The white color on the cabinets will age and change their shade over time. I would recommand for you to have only the cabinets in white and nothing else around them in that color. If the appliances, countertops, tile, etc. are in other colors and finishes, the aging white will not be visible. But if you have your cookinig range and cabinets in white, you will see the yellowing on one or the other over time.

I would seriously consider replacing the cabinets before putting a new granite countertop on them. The problem is that no one will remove the countertop at a later date if you want to change the cabinets, due to the possibility of breakage. The only choice you will have then is a reface. Adding new doors, drawer fronts, and veneered sides is just a facelift. You could also add new hardwood drawers with undermount cushion close slides, but by the time you do this if will be the same cost as new cabinets now. The cabinets you have now, frameless, particle board sides are notorious for having the hinge screws strip out the particle board they are attached to. Since you can't put a longer screw in them, because the material is only 3/4" of an inch thick you have a problem. You also can't put a wider screw in them because it won't fit through the pre-drilled holes in the hinges.

Thanks, lefty47. This is an older home, and just as One Plan guessed it is a soil stack from the upstairs bathroom. You are probably right that the cost of a custom solution may outweigh the benefits. Another idea I had, along the lines of the worktop bin suggested by One Plan, is a recessed spatula and long-handled utensil holder. I found out that Lee Valley sells motorized tv lift kits like the one used in the video above. It would be a matter of getting the contractor to build the box to go on the lift. I'm still a bit hung up on the idea, though it probably falls into your cost-outweighs-benefit category! I may bring this photo around with me when interviewing prospective contractors, just to see how they answer!

Electrical Isolation Switches Within Cabinet
Q

Hi! I purchased an EC and recently the developer's architect got back to us saying that the electrical isolation switches can no longer be placed within the kitchen cabinet. They mentioned about SP Group SS638:2018. I tried to find the full documentation on it but only manage to find a partial document. I also understand that there was a new revision on 17 September 2018. However, I noticed newer condos such as Parc Esta which was launched in 17 November 2018 and TOP on October 2022, still able to have the isolation switches within the kitchen cabinet. Is it still possible to keep the electrical switches within the kitchen cabinet or are we not able to do so?

Oil based paint will begin to yellow quickly and will become very noticable. Latex or lacquer based paints do not yellow much.
