    Day 9

    Toilet Walls almost up. White textured tiles with broad textures and mosaic in the middle. Abit off the minimalist theme, but we like the patterns! Semi-minimalist white bathroom tiles ;p

    Hi Aron,

    Just wanna say a big Thank You for re-arranging your schedule to bring the trunking installation earlier to facilitate my reno. Your team of installers are also super dedicated and committed in doing OT till late at night as mine is an old resale flat with more beam challenges. Really good service. Looking forward to the 2nd installation. Will arrange with you soon. Thanks again!!! :yamseng:

    Day 5 of Reno

    Windows installation is here. white powdered coated frames with green glass panes were a natural choice for our theme.

    Cement wall at the toilet is also coming up nicely.

    Progress within the toilet. So glad they managed to remove the two side pipes in the toilet, reduce the clutter.

    Day 1 of Reno:

    Hacking of Toilet

    Picked an auspicious day and auspicious time which my ID kindly accommodated and instructed his hacking expert to start "moving the earth" accordingly.

    3 seconds later...the earth has been moved!

    At the end of the day...whole toilet has been hacked! Fast!

    my white laminate hunting journey..share some of the white laminates which I viewed..

    Parador- abit over my budget though..

    Supreme - these are the 2 whitest, but no more stock..

    Allure (waterproof laminate) - very interesting waterproof laminate made of vinyl, but colour too creamy..

    laminateevorichallure.jpg

    Woodculture - whitest available in the series..

    laminatewoodculture.jpg

    Pergo & Lavie - one whiter than the other..

    Seems that white is not that popular due to maintenance issues such as dirt between the planks will be more visible than other darker colours. Can only wait to find out how "painful" it will be after we do up ours in white!

    Hi!Thanks for sharing. So which brand did you use in the end?

    What is the cost like? Im thinking of doing laminated flooring too.

    Thanks!

    I should be going for Vohringer for the following reasons:

    1) They have the white colour I want for my theme. This is key as white range laminates are limited in most brands and alot are too creamy or out of stock.

    2) Higher quality laminates compared to market. Important for me as I'm doing up laminate for the whole house including the living room so I want something that's more water, impact, stain, scratch resistant than average. The laminates are also rated at AC4, which I feel is good enough, plus alot of AC5 12mm comes with v-grooves which I am not too keen on.

    3) Made in Germany. While China is the manufacturer of the world now, it's nice to have an European made product once in a while, so something I like compared to made in China laminates.

    4) Lifetime warranty including stains. Gives assurance and peace of mind esp the stains portion when I have kids in the hse.

    5) Excellent pre-sales service. He was willing to come over to my place to show me the samples and take site measurements and able to give me a good price whereas most other company will ask you to go over to their showroom (Have to wait to assess the workmanship and post sales service though but the vibes are good :D)

    6) Value-for-Money. Quoted 4.3 psf promotional price. While it's not the cheapest quote I got, based on the attributes above, I feel it's quite value for money as other similar quality european AC4 laminates I saw are much more expensive...starting from ard 5+ Psf..

    chling, nice designs there. :)

    May I ask if the wardrobe is custom made by your own ID? What brand of glass is your wardrobe door? Thanks for sharing.

    Thanks, trying to be disciplined in keeping the colours to mainly white with hints of black. Yes, wardrobe is custom made by my ID to fit into the "sunken" wall in the BR1 and BR2 as well as along the wall of BR3. The brand of the glass is a-plus glass.

    Simple but nice design..

    I like the colour white too..you are using white laminated flooring for the whole house?

    What brand are you using? Will it be abit risky? What if it gets water?

    =)

    Yes, will be using laminated flooring. We prefer not to have grout lines that comes with tiles...and decided to give laminated flooring a go. But will need to go for better quality ones so that they are more resistant to water...

    It's difficult to find white laminated flooring designs though. Most brands have lighter colours but it's too creamy or woody ..for those that have whitish colours, it's only 1 choice or they out of stock/discontinued...

    Those AC5 12mm types are out also as they mostly come in V-grooves between planks...which are similar to grout lines that we wish to avoid...which is good...as these are usually more expensive..can help help relieve the budget :D

    all in all, we considered Kronotex (only waveless oak white available under exquist range, the whiter major oak white is not available), Pergo (did not have white I want), Supreme (white out of stock), Woodculture (winter wolf), Vohringer (Aspen oak

    white), Evorich (their allure white have to wait 3months but it's also abit too creamy)...
