    sorry bro goobii for diverting your thread. just want to point out that TS wants to highlight the bad (from what i read, possibly criminal) attitute by this specific company rather than the product itself. Actually, this kind of door is also done by another company (which is my supplier for such doors). So far I only know of 2 companies, but no intention to switch supplier since I have a good working relationship with my current supplier.

    My 2 cents on the product.

    pros:

    small footprint

    strong mechanism

    stable door

    child safe lock (with upgrade options)

    no bottom track

    cons:

    have to know how to use it, not intuitive

    pricing is on the higher side compared to other quality doors

    strict on dimensions so any miscommunication will lead to losses to either parties

    terribly expensive if size of door required is more than standard size

    summary:

    i did not use it personally as i did not know about this product when i got my house done, but given a choice, i would. but i would recommend it to my clients where small footprint is needed and no bottom track is preferred. of course, the final choice is theirs since they are the ones using it.

    hi ~ bec we get the home loan from maybank, when i bought the house, their rate is quite good! Then if i get home loan with them, for the renovation~ the 1st 10K for 1st year, they will totally wave the interest for us. So we get the loan frm them not RHB. May i know the rate for RHB is how much?

    lowest i know of is 3%

    btw, about your shower areas that cannot do drop down and have to do kerb instead, did your ID charge you for the kerb?

    I've got the Fans a while back, thanks nevertheless,

    Have installed them; my contractor got me the Bracket (was told that it does not come with one)

    And when tune to speed 3 and above, it wobbles quite bad,

    I'm kinda of concern.

    The electrians my contractors hired doesn't seemed to know about balancing..

    How do the electricians do the balancing, any idea?

    That's scary.

    So at speed 1 and 2, it does not wobble? The alpha V6 has a diagonal blade design so it may look like it is wobbling when rotating. What you should check on is the lamp in the middle. Is that wobbling?

    So far, I have 4 alpha V6, have seen 2 other alpha V6 in a client's home, no signs of wobbling.

    If yours is really wobbling, my guess is poor installation.

    oic, thanks.

    NP, i know where to get them..

    you mentioned previously in your blog, A-lightings right? ;)

    sorry, learnt also that the fans doesn't come with brackets, where to get them and would you

    have any idea and how about a balancing is done?

    Yep, and if they quote you higher, just tell them the guy from Holland says it's $290 :D

    I let me electrician handle the brackets and balancing. To me, as long as it works (no sound on top speed, lights can turn on), it's good :)

    Hi ossify, saw that your alpha v6's rod seems shorter than the original rod.

    Did you cut them? When fixed up to my bedroom, it feels miserably low. :(

    Would it wobble should you cut them? esp high speed?

    and does it require balancing? thanks in advance/

    Nope, I did not cut them. Just remember not to stand on your bed :D

    I wouldn't advise cutting them.

    Without cutting them, it does not wobble even at highest speed. If your electrician installs it properly, it does not require balancing.

    You need contact to get it at $290?

    decided not to post my quartz pics. the pics don't do justice to what it actually looks like, can't capture all the sparklies :(

    anyway, here's an update on my shower situation (pushed it out a bit, changed the rainshower from Hansgrohe to Grohe. it looks brighter :), feels better :), but costs more :(

    on another note, do check out the titanic flower (Amorphophallus titanum) that's about to bloom in Singapore Botanic Gardens!

    cool. didnt know u have such a wide range of solid top to choose from. so, if i rank them in terms of quality and $$$, it should be: quartz > granite > acrylic > polyester. right?

    yep. there's also marble too.

    actually, granite can be cheaper than acrylic, depending on the brand of the acrylic.

    Met up with my quartz supplier to discuss on the details. Seems like I can simply overlay on top of my existing Ikea countertop :D

    As it is 2cm thick, It will make my countertop thicker by 2cm on all sides, height, length, depth.

    The look will be similar to this, but mine will have a 2inch backsplash.

    Bro Ossify,

    I like what you did to your bathroom floor. Looks so resort style!

    Thanks :)

    It complements the stone tiles I use on the walls.

    PS. I will also be adding some stainless steel backsplash (excess material from a client) and overlaying my Ikea countertop with Quartz in my kitchen. Stay tune!

    fed-up right? pay money then get this kind of quality.

    yah that time already make them repaint 2 times liao.

    now peel again. super lousy workmanship.

    i remember someone mention about not using matex white paint somewhere in this forum.

    come to think of it i saw a lot of this paint during reno period.

    before pay money say all paint price diff not much so will give the best one.

    and we chose the paint ourselves.

    now i realise i kena dupe liao. swap the suppose best one for the lousiest one since i did not realise in time. :curse:

    recently i heard my kitchen glass door making weird sound when closing..... lets just hope this will not become another defect.

    I OFFICIALLY DON'T RECOMMEND THIS CONTACTOR I USED

    need help?

    Hi all,

    Just want to add that the obvious difference is that Burmese teak is 12" by 2" while Indonesian teak is 10" by 2". And the cost difference is only about SGD$0.70 psf, not 2x.

    Of course this may not be the rule of thumb, but that's the difference a supplier told me.

    Most likely the threadstarter was underquoted because 3 bedrooms at 2k can get you decent laminate flooring, not parquet.

    OMG I WANT THIS!!!

    Just checked with my wetworks subcon.

    The cement mortar used is between 15mm to 25mm covering a light-weight filler material.

    He has done this for other HDB flats, no issues.

    Don't think HDB is very sticky about this regulation, just saw a flat undergone HDB inspection, cement base was 60mm, still approved by the HDB inspector.

    I cant be bothered anymore but i just need to clarify this matter. The amount of money we paid you is more than the $15k loan that we took. Too bad the loan came late and it was addressed to you. I told you that we would transfer you the balance for the completed reno AFTER we received the $15k from you, money which was rightfully OURS. But i guessed after all these problems, you were afraid that we wouldnt pay you, that is why you took the money first. you seem to think that my husband and i dont communicate with each other and that he is like your good friend. I know every msg and e-mail or converstaion you had with him. He laughed when he saw what you wrote cause we finally realised that either you couldnt understand simple english, or that you are in your own world. He specifically told you to transfer ALL the money and that we would transfer your balance after the completion. This was what we (my husband and i) discussed. I hope your twisted stories will twist you one of these days. The reason why i took you up was because you were just starting out and i wanted to give you the chance to show your work and for me to give you a good testimonial. I have my own business and i know how it feels like to start out. But you're just too big-headed. I really wish your future clients all the best.

    On 2 September, 4.28pm, I informed your husband via SMS that I have arranged the painter to come at 2pm on saturday for the touching up of your piping and that I will transfer the remaining 5k less the outstanding balance (which was 2 days past due).

    On 2 September, 5pm, he responded agreeably.

    On 2 September, 7.19pm, I forwarded your husband via SMS the confirmation of transfer of the remaining money.

    On 4 September, 10.47am, he confirmed the receipt of all the outstanding balance and asked me to inform him should there be any shortchange of payment on his side.

    Anyway, thank you for giving me the chance. It was quite an experience working for you.

    I have returned your $15k (minus off the outstanding balance with prior consent from your husband) with confirmation of receipt from your husband. All communications regarding payment were made via SMS/phone calls to husband.

    If you wish me to respond to any other issues, please let me know.
