Just wondering how much is your hansgrohe shower?

for my MBR and common toilet. my MBR will have a shower screen while my common toilet will not have it due to budget constraints. According to my ID, shower screen will look better with drop down but water will splash out due to lower height and also need to see if the drop down conforms to HDB standard too. Like to know your comments. Thanks

Any other companies that sell the above washlets or are those are already quite good?

What brand for the ceiling fan is good? KDK/Crestar/Amasco/Elmark. I was quoted $190 for a 52" Elmark Lifetime warranty. The price is it ok?

HI Mace, I saw one selling at $290 one piece but it's round. Hmm the shape really makes a difference?

I went down and saw there are those with circle or square type design and the salesman told me that the square one is IN and besides that there's not much difference. Prices are about $450 give and take. Anyone can advise me where to purchase? I'd be using it with a storage heater. Thanks.

Hi all, Where do I purchase those metal drawers with(i.e Blum , distributor ) and w/o antislam? Thanks.

@ekardo, yours from IMM or ? How long is your delivery upon confirmation? @air, great to know that you everything went well I confirmed my items last week and they told me they can ship between 5 to 7 weeks. He told me max 7 weeks. I didn't configure any special dimensions, just chose the appropriate colors and fabric that's all. I paid about 1300 out of 3100. Crossing my toes and fingers now.

5rm flat , currently 2 occupants, me and my wife, maybe later(not so soon), parent might be joining in. The storage will be only used for the 2 bathrooms. Should I get 20 or 25 liters storage? Should I go for Joven or Ariston? Thanks.

I saw already. This contractor that time is the most competitive price but then after add this and that seems like the cost really risen significantly. I'd follow ur advise and try to see see look. The rest any additional comments and maybe recommend me and ID too? THanks

can someone pls advise? really stressed now

Hi all, Pls advise if the following is reasonable. I told him that my budget is 18k then slowly increased to 22k(quite normal after some additions) and after we seen the FS master it has increased to close to $25k. Pls advise if the following is ok and should there be anything that we can try to reduce our cost. (One example) My friend told me that I should try to nego for a demolition for a 1 time price. My contractor told me his margin is very less now or is there still room for nego?

How to know GRUNDTAL is 18/10? I'm a bit cautious of IKEA's products lol.

Can advise any branding that I should look for for? Thanks

Is it possible to be used in normal installation? I heard from IKEA salesman that it's proprietary. Thanks.

that are good and reasonably priced. What I see there's this song cho ( chicken brand ) and is there any alternative? Is it good? Thanks

so how to ensure carpentry that is used are using the correct material? I have them doing my feature wall for LCDTV, kichen cabinet and MBR wardrobe. Thanks.

what are the things that need to prepare and what to ask him. Thanks. so far i've gotten my ID to prepare the layout and the design. thanks. pls advise.

LemonTea, Thanks for the explanation. Ever thought of mosaic-ing it. I switch from SS=>Glass=>Mosaic.

zacey, cool. which branch did you purchase from? the delivery date is it as per advised by Red Apple? Thanks. I'm a bit worried as I purchase the set too. Cheers.

LemonTea, can help explain the bolded ones. Thanks.

Laminate vs Parquet. Which one is more expensive and does economy of scale still prevails?

A few questions hope you guys can help me here 1. Laminate vs Parquet. Pros and Cons. 2. Cost of laminating 1 room vs 3rooms. My ID told me that it's not cost effective to laminate 1 room as compared to 3 rooms 3. IF I'm going for lamination, is Kronotex the only provider. Cheers.
