yo sgnick bro, wanna check with u on alex's installed windows. mine were installed everything except grilles yesterday.

1. Casement handles a bit skinny thin and frenzy. Machiam can break it when used too much force on them.

2. Alex told me that casement handles got no lock one. But i remembered fromone thread that owner requested lock set for all casement handles. -_-!

3. Sliding windows can shake when i sldie them. I could also lift up the windows a bit from the sliding track, and ccould feel that they are not tighly fit in.

Wanna check if yours have any problems like that?

All casement windows handles can break with force, even original HDB casement handle in kitchen also break before. :)

My casement windows installed by Alex have no lock (means no key to lock/unlock)

Hmmm, I don't feel any shaking of the sliding windows installed by alex, but i can go home and test again later.

Hi there

I love your curtains...but i will be going for roller blinds instead..bcuz i have 2 boys which can ruin those expensive curtains..haha

May I know what is the average price of your curtains per sqft? If they are cheap, I can perhaps get it for my living area.

Thanks for the help!

Windows handles will corode long before they will break, I changed all the handles on the original HDB windows myself due to corrosion :)

Handle - $4

Rivert Gun - $12

Rivet - cents

Oh btw, what kind of flooring is that in your bedrooms...floor tiles?

Yes, wood look floor tiles, with grain texture feel

Feels nice and warm to walk on it, compared to my glossy cold living room homogeneous
