[ChefDeCabinet_Expert]: Instead of changing the entire kitchen material, strengthen the wet zone. Use BWP (Boiling Water Proof) plywood or aluminium for sink modules, waterproof edge sealing, moisture-resistant backing, proper silicone sealing around plumbing penetrations, and leak detection during annual maintenance. The engineering around the sink is often more important than the board itself.
