    Hi all, just want to share my experience with St Paris, you can find them on facebook easily. 

    We were shifting house and were looking at vinyl flooring for the house. We found St Paris through fb and went down to their showroom on 17th Aug. Payment made in full (our mistake, should never pay in full) as they insist and need it for shipment to come in. Date was tentative placed as 5th Oct 

    Come first week of Oct, my ID contacted them to deliver and install on 3rd oct (we are okay with 5th oct as well but please see below)  but the reply from Adrian (their staff) was he will check and get back to us. After 2 3 days of checking and follow up, he got back saying shipment can only come later and installation can only be 15th oct. Question is, so where did they put my money to if it was not used to place orders. I believe from mid aug till early oct, there is no way the stock wouldn't have arrive if St Paris did place their orders. 

    Adrian kept on asking us down to rechoose another design and as we are busy, we said just send us photo. We decide to make the best out of it and just choose another one(lets call this the 2nd choice), but guess what, upon choosing another design, adrian inform us this is out of stock as well. So why bother showing us. I decided to call the boss Alex and he told me he will settle. Reply was slow and ended up adrian gave us our 2nd choice (phew), we thought the worst is over. 

    Come installation, timing was cock up. 4 installers came but there was no vinyl so they ended up sleeping for 1 hr plus. Okay nvm, cock up happens right? After doing, they inform not enough stock, one of my room is like 3/4 done. (huh? I was literally huh?) 

    Okay nvm, we insist they come back the next day and complete the job which alex and adrian did make it happen. Maybe you guessed it right, the stock came the next day but not the installer. So my poor ID again waited till installer come and do up the remaining. Of course it now looks completely different from what I chose, they decided for me the skirting as well. I don't know whats the purpose of me going down in the first place. 

    I contact their fb and wrote a comment to ask them to contact me but they delete and block me. I apps alex and his reply was simple. Job done right? What i want? 

    Job done? Yes after so much trouble and liaising

    Good job done? Definitely no

    Responsibility? Okay la, at least like what he said. Job done

    Just be careful of them and use at your own discretion 

    Gosh! thanks for the review bro...

    Does anyone have an idea of the per foot run cost of solid surface (Corian, STARON etc) for vanity tops?

    I have just been quoted for $130 pfr plus another $ 380 for a seamless (one piece) wash basin). This is for STARON. A 5 ft long vanity top therefore costs about $1,200 including the wash basin.

    Appreciate any feedback

    There is a price checker online here https://www.stoneamperor.com.sg/instant-countertop-quote/

    Quite accurate and covers most of the quote, but its not that user friendly

    Can experts enlighten on the price as below?

    iQuartz (iCrystal, iEarth, iGalaxy) : ~ SGD 120 psf ?

    Caesarstone (Classico) : ~ SGD 220-260 ?

    Granite (black galaxy): ~ SGD 120 psf ?

    Marble (Dark Emperdaor) : same as Granite ?

    Which one is better ? Anyone install Dark Emperador marble before ? thanks.

    Hello, the price of all the materials can be found here online at an instant price checker
    .
    to answer your question on which one is better, it really depends on your personal need, the best way is to find a consultant and ask about it, i went for stone amperor and had no problem with it
    .
    But it you think its too early, 
    .
    I would recommend you to look through this countertop guide

    if we are talking about solid surface, the top 3 adv that make people buy are
    .
    1) you dont ever need to worry about cracks (super durable) 
    2) water and bacteria has no effect (water damage from sinks wont be a problem)
    3) by far the easiest to handle ( just clean with soap) 

    hope it helps, get more of solid surface guide here

    P.s materials that people usually buy for countertop are 
    [Quartz, granite, marble, solid surface, Kompacplus, Dekton] and more! 

    As a countertop specialist im building the countertop guide version 2.0, that covers everything we all need, but its not done as of now. will drop a link below when im done!

    Hi all,

    Actually i need to do a top for my hob but i am not sure what materials to be used. Learned from this thread about quartz top.

    Anyone can help me what type of materials can be used and which one is the best in term of price and quality?

    thanks in advance all.

    Hi howeas...i understand that you are looking for countertop, quartz is definitely a good choice 

    Quick summary of quartz

    ADVANTAGES OF QUARTZ

    • Quartz is an abundant mineral and therefore cheaper than granite and marble.
    • Quartz can have many colors depending on the chemical composition of the minerals, and
    • All patterns are synthetically achieved, making it gradations consistent throughout a slab. You have the option of choosing subdued monotones or striking colors
    • Quartz countertops are a simple mixture of 93% crushed quartz rocks and 7% resin binders and color additives.
    • Appears to be a naturally occurring slab and looks rich.
    • It is stronger than granite and more flexible, so it doesn’t  chip as easily as granite does

    DISADVANTAGES OF QUARTZ

    • Quartz is made in standard slabs and the seams get pretty obvious. A darker colour can help you hide seams, but lighter colours and bold patterns can make seams harder to hide.
    • Quartz is simply less naturally attractive than granite. There are many quartz options that mimic granite but it’s rather poorly done.
    • At a similar price point to granite, which is rather sad considering it’s not as pretty.

      Consider looking at other options like marble, granite, dekton, solid surfaces too, they might just suit your needs more!
