    Hi all,

    If there's a stopper for doors, is there such a stopper for casement window? Whereby, will prevent the window from swinging close due to strong wind?

    Recently, i have been encountering this at home, and i dun dare to open my window just be cuz I'm afraid that the strong wind might just smash my window and endanger any passerby downstairs.

    Any home owners encounter this also?

    Pls enlighten...

    hi Komas, waiting for your photos, but how do u know the "white finish" is not plaster? Contractor told u?

    Yup,... im sure its not plastering. Cos i was there when the painter paint that block of wall. But i didnt ask them what is that white finish. but its smooth for sure. That erected wall is for my TV console. :bow:

    I had concrete screed walls for my kitchen. My ID applied a layer of clear epoxy over it and the entire wall became even more dull in color and all the cracks, lines, flaws, defects became very obvious. Made the entire wall so ugly. I was so pissed that I made them redo the whole wall. So they have to hack everything off the surface and redo the screed. After that, much better. And it does feel powedery everytime you touch it. But that's exactly what I want to feel.

    But currently mine, is really powdery. Not just the feel.

    Hey Eng98, i want to ask u, based on what u have experienced, if i cement screed the kitchen wall, and then ICI paint it (not epoxy), just cement screed without plastering, will it look OK? Or still look morpeng? Contractor now give me a choice, if i want to plaster in addition to cement screed, another $200. Is it worth to pay $200 to get the extra smoothness?

    I have an erected hollow block wall in my living room. just cement screed and with a layer of white finishing (not plastering), and paint over with Nippon paint. It looks good. I can take a photo of it when im back in SG next few days...

    So you didnt have any finishing for your new screed?

    Your 1k include painting or not? Your situation is very cheem, timber+ teak + cement. I hope u get replies, i believe few people do this.

    In my quote, there's isnt any painting inclusive.

    Well,... it may sound cheem, but not really ar. The timber strips will be on the walkway.

    I'm thinking of getting those pple that do marble polishing to polish it. Just wondering if it works...

    Hi just curious, why do u do cement screed? U like the look & feel? Few people do that. I believe u don't do it for costs, bec the last time i enquired about epoxy painting, it is the same price as laying, except that hacking costs is saved. For yours, cost of screeding plus laquer painting should be equal to cost of relaying tiles.

    In fact, there's a mix of timber teak and cement screed with metal inlays. But the floor area for the sand screed isnt big. Its about a normal bedroom size. I was promised by my ID that the effect will be smooth and a bit of gloss. And that cost me almost 1k for it. Im so worried now, so i need advise here... :jawdrop:

    Will machine polish helps, instead of using sand paper? i never heard of that really...

    so has the ID paint it with "lacquer"?

    my old house we didnt do anything to floor - yes cement only.

    after living in the house for years - places that we walk often automatically became smooth but when we shift the location of furnitures - only then we found rough surfaces.

    The ID has yet to paint with lacquar. I have not confirm with him yet, cos it sounds so weird, isnt it?

    Hi,

    I desperately need some advice on this.

    Recently, I'm having renovation work for my house, and I had chose to have cement sand screed for my living room. My ID told me not to have Epoxy finishing, cos it will looks 'patchy' after some time, instead, he will be painting it over with lacquar to get that 'gloss' and smooth effect.

    As, its my first time being a home owner and going through this renovation work, i have no idea about it.

    Is there anyone who's having cement screed for flooring? I have a few questions;

    1. Normally, what is the kind of finishing for cement sand screed? *my ID got 2 workers to my place and use sand paper to 'sand' the cement sand screed*

    2. Will those pple from 'marble polishing' work be able to do polishing on cement sand screed to give a 'smooth' and 'semi-gloss' flooring?

    3. The floor is always 'powder' and dusty no matter how i try to clean and sweep it, is it normal?

    Any kind soul out there, pls advise. Many thanks!
