insane 0 Report post Posted November 19, 2010 u have a specific model to recommend? take a look at their website but no prices mentioned.. is it more expensive than grohe? talking about this, all along i thought grohe=hansgrohe! If I not wrong, Grohe is cheaper. Didn't check it out as I don like the design. U can check out the Hansgrohe showroom at M.sultan. Floppy got lobang for Hansgrohe. Mayb u can check with him. 1 thing to note, if u not getting a storage tank, forget the idea of getting a rain shower, cos it needs min 1.5bar pressure for it to work. If not will become rain drizzle. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

We paying hansgrohe showroom a visit tomorrow lo! coz the more i look at the stuff on its website, the more i like it! hehe.. yup with or without rainshower system, we going to install storage tank lor.. since it can support 2 bathrooms then we don't need to install instant heaters.. hmm.. shouldnt be too expensive la.. toilet small small area only.. if not, the most save on other stuffs that can be add on later which wont make a mess of the place one lor.. but that is if u insist on having the rainshower la.. haha my gf also dun let me have my bathtub.. so i insist on a rainshower which cost us $380.. hee.. haha now my other half have no tolerance for even a hundred dollars top-up! and unlikely we can save on other stuff liao.. now just pray very hard we did not miss out catering budget for anything.. hmm..

BlurRhino 0 Report post Posted November 20, 2010 Visit the hansgrohe... the design is but the price also definitely more expensive than grohe.. hmmm.. but if really cannot fix the rainshower, i am keen to get the PuraVida 150 3 jet handshower( http://www.hansgrohe.com.sg/sg_en/115238_3...F3736383139.htm ) But my gf is worried about the cost and she think is not worth the price, and most likely will veto this idea..

That's another reason why we decided not to install it Plus for the new BTO, the hand shower that has been installed has quite a big showerhead. So we are ok with that too. You might want to study the one you have before installing? Edited November 20, 2010 by froggy Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BlurRhino 0 Report post Posted November 21, 2010 Tiling to start on 22Nov! We opt out of the flooring provided by HDB, hence we have the option to play with our tiles.. Initially we only planned for tiling in areas excluding kitchen(Original from HDB) and bedrooms(Laminated flooring), but after trying to visualise the original flooring from hdb and the colour scheme of our kitchen cabinets, we decide to overlay the kitchen floor as well, otherwise really cannot make it.. Anyway hdb charge ridiculous price for their tiles and so i rather save on this cost to make good our expanded kitchen, and chose something we prefer and overlay the whole kitchen instead.. Dear Red Audi budget $3 psf for the flooring and so we should chose something around this cost.. BUT my eyes too upmarket and love this spanish imported floor tile at first sight.. think it absolutely fit the theme of our kitchen but it cost a whopping $4.50 psf! Knowing i like it so much and knowing my missus is reluctant to top up and will rather go for another cheaper alternative(which i don't really like), he had kindly absorb the additional cost so that i can use the tiles i like.. Thank you very much!! This tile will be used in kitchen and foyer area. As mentioned in my earlier posts, i intend to create a "long" passageway effect from my hall all the way into my MBR wiw wannabe.. I think it will look great if done correctly and i have high expectations for this, and so when Red Audi suggested this tile, i am immediately sold.. The rustic feel of this tile means that it will be a bold choice as at first glance it looks abit weird but i think the looks just glows on me, and Red Audi assured me that it will look very good once i saw the final product instead of just looking at the one piece by itself, and i believe him. My missus is not so convinced and she prefer a safe choice at first.. now come the funny part, she finally agreed with me when we go to the kopitiam in the link between orchard central and centrepoint, and they used almost the same rustic tiles for their entrance! and it looks great! so quickly informed Red Audi and this will be my passageway tiles. Red Audi prefer us to use tiles without grains like design in our hall, as he think it will go well with our overall theme and will not go out of fashion.. So we chose white tile for our hall.. He promised us that the different tiles will be joined seamlessly using stainless-steel strips and he have alot of confidence in his tilers.. Hope everything goes well and the end result will look great without looking messy lor! *Pray very hard* Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BlurRhino 0 Report post Posted November 22, 2010 Just come back from my house after my ID complain to me during the day that the water pressure for my house is very low.. then its very difficult for his tilers to do cementing.. And indeed it was quite bad.. Try to fill a pail of water and it really take some time to fill up.. I already max up the water valve outside my house liao and its still the same.. Anyone got any experience in this? Do i called SP Services or I can contact the Building Service Centre for my BTO for assistance? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
