Yes, on paper, MHI seems a good choice with lots of good features. I too bought it & installation is next week. I bought from Best Tech. We actually did a comparison with different companies installation materials. Most give Class 1 materials like Armaflex. K-flex is Class 0. So we felt in terms of installation Best Tech would offer the best materials & stuck to Best Tech.

Sorry to sound so ULU.... where is molecule?

I'm looking for stickers that I can stick on the wall. Some nice ones to add a touch to the balcony walls and also if there are any that I can use for kids room. Was also thinking of using some stickers for my kitchen glass door coz its looks rather plain. Anyone knows where I can find these. THANKS!

Yes, we went for site visit with the ID several times to reconfirm our plans, do measurements etc. Sigh...

I am installing PD door at my kitchen which is 4ft wide. And replacing my 2 toilet bifold doors with PD doors. I've read some feedback on this forum that its quite good. Another forum feedback was not so good but I've heard that they've improved on the mechanism now and also been thru some PSB testing. Go down to the office & take a look for yourself. They are quite friendly.

We selected Home Success. Mainly because 4 other units in my block did reno with them so they took us to see all the 4 units that were done to see their workmanship. That gave us more confidence in them & since they are big company, we felt they would be reliable. They are most costly than other ID firms but we thot pay a little extra but safe better. Yesterday supposed to start tiling work, suddenly got call fr the ID to say that the wet wash area that we had already planned cannot be done becoz not enuf space. I was so angry. He had already drawn up the floor plan, then when we were going thru the reno works that need to be done at the house itself, he took measurement again & said no problem, everything will go as planned. My flat no wet area so I wanted to make one where I can put my pails & wash clothes by hand, etc. I dont like to do this in the common toilet coz my children use the toilet & they dont like it wet. What's the point of spending money to make toilet to look nice then so messy. Moreover, that's the guest toilet and I always have visitors on weekends so I like it clean & neat & presentable. I cant stand pails & mops everywhere. Maybe I'm too pampered always had the space/backyard for my cleaning stuff & this house dont have. I'm very angry. I told him to redraw my kitchen design to let me see. Since I'm in a hurry to move in, we still have to go ahead with the schedule as I need to move in by 24th November. I really hope that everything else will go as planned. His electrician is charging us quite a lot more than what I've read on this forum. They said becoz also got 5 yr warranty. So that's why charge higher. Anyway, as u can see I'm very angry! If anything else goes wrong... I'm gonna post it here too so everyone can beware!

First thing is... check with contractor if that is indeed the tile that u selected. Or call the showroom to verify that u have received the correct tiles. I dont think u can differentiate by just looking at it. Sometimes contractors save cost by giving u something similar to the one u chose but not the same one. Has happened.

She told me includes cutting out the holes for sink & hob & installation. Didnt ask abt polishing.

FYI to anyone else who in interested. http://www.oceangranites.com.sg/og/products/products.shtml This company charges $90/ft for black galaxy (ft India) and $110/ft for emerald pearl (fr Norway). If u want the broader profile (20+20mm) its $20 more per foot. They will come in right after cabinets are ready to do measurement and will be able to install the granite within 3 to 4 days. Anyone heard of them or used them. My friend will probably be getting from them.

thanks for the tip hopefully mine will turn out just as nice.

Helping out a friend here. She's also doing her kitchen & now want to change from LG top to granite top after I was telling her what I've been reading on renotalk & why i decided on granite instead of LG. Contractor charge her $100/ft for LG and for granite want to charge her $140/ft. I read on this forum that can get for ard $95/ft. Where to get?

Sooooo beautiful. Thanks for sharing

I dont think they gave u Supreme. Any pieces of laminates lying around? Did u chose the AC3 or AC5 tropical hardwood range from Supreme. I just found out from them how to tell the difference so dont get cheated by contractor. If contractor didnt give u the one u wanted, make sure they change it!

Yah... share your photos pluhleeese....

I also heard abt Supreme SC5 or tropical hardwood range. I spoke to a few different pple who told me that its one of the best for this price range since both kronotex and Supreme are midrange laminates. It will still warp if water is left to soak for a few hours. I was warned that area just outside master bedroom toilet got to be very careful. Coz of wet feet going in & out of toilet, that seems to be the most problem area.

Yess.... finished product looks really beautiful. Saw one showflat with white glossy doors and granite top. Me want!! But so worried abt maintenance. Aiyah. Must decide soon. Tmr meeting ID to confirm. Fingers crossed!

Hey applefreak.... Do u cook a lot? Is it easy to maintain the glossy white? Yah... I know what u mean. There are so many shades of white esp for the matt ones.

No lah.... Not ugly. Just wondering how to hide the wiring that needs to be moved around. We are moving the SCV point from one wall to another, then the light pt also. That's why ID said L box is the best way. He also said PLC lights give the house very nice effect like showflat like that....

Hiya. Need help. My hubby making a lot of noise that electrical to do up the PLC downlights very ex. For each light $45 for wiring & then $23 for each light so total for each pt is $68. Need 20 lights for living, dining & foyer. Then there's master room also. Very expensive leh. Hubby said can buy Strass Crystal Chandelier! Anyone got any ideas to have a nice effect but without the Lbox and downlights. Is cornice old fashioned? ID not happy when I told him that we may not want to do the Lbox. He said cornice not nice & will not give the light effect. What to do? Advice please!! Reno starting Friday.....

Is her white glossy white or matt??

What brand laminates are u using? My contractor recommended TAK. Ya lor... if dont cook then white is not a problem. I wish I had a bigger kitchen then can seperate a wet & dry area. Unfortunately, I have a small triangle kitchen!

Hi everyone, Wondering if anyone has done white kitchen? I'm planning white kitchen cabinets with black granite top and black homogeneous floor tiles. I thot that it would look modern yet has a classic look as well. Also will match the HDB wall tiles which is greyish. But a lot of pple advising me not to take white. The white glossy laminate looks very nice but I was told hard to maintain & the non-glossy type might absorb the oil and turn yellow in time. And also if spills like curry or chili or something then can stain easily. I'm very keen on the white cabinets. I cook everyday (housewife mah... got to cook for hubby & kids). But I also got maid to help me clean. How? Anyone done their's in white to advice how easy it is to maintain & which laminates u chose. THANKS!

hmmm.... looks like there's no conclusion to this topic. I'm also considering overlaying. Reason being I'm worried abt the quality of the tiles. My mom's place the tiles after a few months all become very dirty and patchy. No matter how we scrub or even chemical wash, the patches are still there. Her tiles are light pink in colour. I'm getting brand new flat from HDB but bought fr open market.... those reject flats. the tiles are grey but they look exactly the same type like those in my mom's flat. At first we thot just wait & see. If it gets bad, then we can overlay later. But contractor said then have to remove shower screen & reinstall new one. What a waste of money right. So I think best thing to do is to overlay. I really hope no problems in future.

Anyone has any to recommend. My husband has been suffering from neck pain & lower back ache. The doctor suggested changing to a neck support pillow but there are so many in the market. From $50 to a few hundred. Dont know which one is good. Pls recommend if u know of any. Thanks!

thx
