Frequently Asked Questions
1. How much does a fitted kitchen cost in Sri Lanka?
Pantry cupboards are priced per running foot: Rs 7,500 to Rs 12,000 in aluminium, Rs 10,000 to Rs 16,000 in melamine, Rs 16,000 to Rs 24,000 in marine plywood, and Rs 19,000 to Rs 35,000 and up in solid teak or mahogany. A typical 12 ft L-shaped melamine kitchen with granite top totals Rs 250,000 to Rs 350,000.
2. What is a running foot in a kitchen quote?
It is a foot measured along the length of the cupboard run, not floor area. Ask whether the rate covers both the top and bottom units or bottom units only, because quoting bottom units alone at a lower per-foot rate is the most common source of confusion.
3. What does a granite worktop cost?
Granite costs about Rs 2,500 to Rs 4,500 per square foot installed. For a 12 ft run with a 2 ft deep counter, that is roughly Rs 60,000 to Rs 110,000 on top of the cupboard price. Quartz and imported stone cost more; tiled or concrete tops cost less.
4. Is melamine or marine plywood better for a kitchen here?
Marine plywood if you can stretch to it. Melamine is the popular mid-budget choice at Rs 10,000 to Rs 16,000 per running foot and lasts 8 to 12 years if kept dry, but Sri Lankan kitchen humidity swells its edges near the sink. Marine plywood at Rs 16,000 to Rs 24,000 handles moisture for 15 to 20 years.
5. What is usually excluded from a kitchen quote?
The countertop, the sink and tap, the splashback tiling, appliances, and often the hardware upgrade. Soft-close hinges and telescopic drawer channels add Rs 1,000 to Rs 2,500 per running foot. Ask for all of these in writing before comparing quotes.
