    Hi, i am renovating my HDB bathrooms now and I saw your piping box up with access vents in this picture below. Would like to ask you where u got the access vents or was it already installed by HDB when u got the flat?
  2. Does anyone recommend using a sealant to paint the HDB toilet pipes before boxing up? I am tiling up the gypsum boards but will be having access grills made under the gypsum boards to access the pipe valves if needed. But I worry that with time and humidity, mould will accumulate in the pipes. Will painting the pipes with sealant help avert mould and bacteria?

  5. Thanks for clarification. I am not going with chimney hood for my kitchen design. But will go with conventional hood. Just want to ask if anyone builts a vent in their cabinet for their conventional hood like the one here below as shown in the picture :
  6. Does anyone have the model number of this Rubine sink? I am trying to get a quote for it.. thanks!
  7. My house has rockstone blasted on all the walls including the ceiling! I was quoted $800 just to plaster the ceiling of the living and dining rooms! To plaster the whole house walls and ceiling would probably run to thousands... so now we got no choice but to live with the rock stone walls. Wondering if wall paper can work on rock stone walls???
  8. How does this HCL89 work? I am putting tiles as backsplash and would like to pre-protect the grout lines from oil stains. How often must re-apply HCL89?
  9. I can't tell which is the model no. but here's a capture of the original box : not sure abt warranty period, gotta call dealer.. text me at eight-323381-nine if u are interested to view it?
  10. Due to kitchen design changes, we cannot use this Turbo Incanto Chimney Hood that is still in its original packaging. Retail at $799, willing to sell it off at $300, or willing to exchange for a brand new block kitchen hood.
  11. Hi, if I ever have to replace that carcass, will it be a big problem if my kitchen sink is an "undermount" on granite top, or it's better to have an "overmount" in case I have to change the carcass due to sink leakages?
  12. Are veneer doors suitable for HDB bathrooms?
  13. Does anyone have experience of using Carysill sinks? It's from India and made of quartz and polymers. I am concerned about staining and maintenance. Where do they retail Carysill sinks in Singapore?
  14. What's the average warranty period given by your ID firm? What does that warranty mean?
  15. Sighzzz that's where i was hoping NOT to locate it to. May have to stick to Citygas, but it's so expensive!
  16. Hey lot85, I am contemplating also a Kraus double sink but rounded corners : Kraus KBU22 32-Inch Undermount 50/50 Double Bowl 16 gauge Kitchen Sink, Stainless Did you order other accessories like the faucet/tap for the sink as well as your vanity cabinets? When yours arrive, can I check it out? My renovations will start next week and carpentry expected to be end March. So I am thinking to order it only beginning of March.
  17. I wanted to hide my LPG tank in the corner of the kitchen cabinet and have the pipe extended to the stove, but access is a problem unless we built the corner not as a right angle but more like a triangle... worried also about ventilation of LPG tank. Any tips and advice available?
  18. Hi Jerome Is the promotion still available for Fujioh? Does price include installation? Warranty period? Do u need to instructor carpenter on the cabinet measurements as well as vent above the cooker hood? Thanks
  19. Lawry, my mom is very interested to see how your sink area has been replaced with concrete stand. Can u post up the pictures? We are getting our cabinets made soon, will need to rethink over the sink leakage and rotting cabinet possibility
  20. Hey kim76, how much were these kitchen backsplash tiles going for at Hafary, can u recall? Howabout your kitchen floor tiles? My ID has set our limit for tiles to be $3.00psf, I don't know if this means tiles like what u have chosen are beyond this budget limit....
  21. I talked to a F&B Manager about installing kitchen Hood in my HDB flat, and he said many Singaporean home owners commit the mistake of not making sure that ventilation duct are installed to the back or top of the kitchen exhaust fan to vent it outside of the kitchen. Thereby making the kitchen hood useless in many cases and spoiling faster. In some ductless units, the kitchen cabinets get very sticky and oily too. I have been googling about this and saw that he is right : I am going to talk to the ID firm about this, but would like to hear about any others who have experience in building the ducting requirements in their HDBs. Would it be allowed under HDB regulations?
  22. hi kim76! i love your kitchen cabinet layout, but have a few questions for you as i am in the midst of cracking my head to confirm the cabinet layout with my ID: 1. What appliance is being placed above your inbuilt oven? Is that empty space for microwave oven? 2. The wall tiles and floor tiles are the same homogenous tiles or ceramic? Can u tell me where u sourced them? I love the color u chose! Very earthy and beautifully sized. 3. Did u fix a lighting under the top kitchen cabinet and if so, what is lighting fixture u used? thanks kim76 if u can answer the above, i am seeing my ID on Monday and have to firm up the quotation then and look at the tiles already..
  23. ]My ID firm is a registered Pte Ltd company, but not yet registered with the HDB due to a one-year rule it needs to fulfill. It's a new firm less than 1 year old, they said they will apply for HDB licence for the works using another licensee's name. I decided to mention this in the agreement so that it's clear cut in case of disputes in later years -- HDB said they will only look to the registered licensee to make good any problem with the renovations, not the ID firm even if ID firm later get it's own registration.
