Renovate by property type
Renovating a mid-terrace house
Sarawak families in the most common house on the street — the intermediate terrace, bought new or handed down, renovated on a working budget rather than all at once.
A long, narrow plan with party walls on both sides. Get the storage, the light and the wet kitchen right and the whole house works harder.
What ALUMAX gets right here
The decisions ALUMAX owns
Plan front-to-back, not wall-to-wall
Tall, slimline storage flat against the blind party walls where there's no window to lose — and keep the central walking spine clear.
Borrow light into the dark middle
Framed glass and part-glazed partitions and doors let the bright front and back lend daylight to the gloomy core.
Match the wet kitchen to its zone
Water-resisting carcasses — ACP AquaGlass, honeycomb or full aluminium — at the rear wet kitchen; board stays for the dry front. Moisture-resistant is not waterproof, and the flame zone gets a non-combustible surface.
Open a screened cross-vent path
Operable aluminium windows and doors front and back, with insect screens, so air can draw the length of the house.
A starting scope you can price
What this property typically needs
A rear wet kitchen plus a dry run, two bedroom wardrobes and front-and-back windows. Add SPC flooring or a TV wall as your plan firms up.
