Hi,

Just found a bamboo shop today at Jalan Besar...

George Bamboo Chick Centre

N0. 120 Jalan Besar

Very near to the open Flea Market area...

try ur luck there but I am not sure about their quality.

most curtain shops have such lobang, right.

Am looking for bamboo blinds too but not very keen on Ikea.

Recently a friend of mine bought and installed a bamboo roller blind from Ikea at his balcony, but after a few days of rain and humid weather....the entire blind was covered with splotches of fungus or mould or mildew(not sure which is which). In the end, the threw it away.

So I am left wondering if this is due to the quality of the bamboo blinds or its simply a bad idea to put bamboo blinds outdoors? Anybody?

Seems bamboo blinds come in indoor and outdoor type. I have seen some houses using these on patios. Perhaps you would like to check out this shop at Tiong Bahru. They have a website (can I name it?). I have nothing to do with them. (Received a flyer in my letterbox) p.m. if you want the name.

Ooh...ok. Maybe my friend bought the wrong type.

Please PM me. Thanks.

Hi,

May I have the contact too?

We visited sin yick seng...the person has some attitude problems. They don't seem to have a fixed price. E.g. we enquired installation service, they quoted $150. Then when we saw what we wanted, they quoted us $300, inclusive of installation. When we say we install ourselves, they then said they will discount 10% off the $300...?? We were so surprised ! 10% of $300 is not equal to $150 leh ! feeling cheated, we left.

Anyone visited George's Bamboo Chick Center ??

btw, what's the diff between indoor and outdoor blind ? Is it just the layer of lacquer ? If yes, can i just buy from IKEA and spray a layer of lacquer on it ?

We intend to hang the blind on the balcony...

Waah so ex. You found anywhere else?

Don't really know the difference but it's true outdoor blinds have a layer of laquer and I think the bamboo is also stronger. Ikea ones quite thin isn't it? Like made of different material. But then if on a budget, can try lacquering.

In the end, we bought an outdoor blind from Spotlight. It's made of canvas, and meant for outdoor. Installation + blind is about $150.

Hi,

Can some advise me on roller blinds? I am thinking to install them in my flat but no sure about the price range and quality. I am looking for blackout or probably 70% light cut off kind of blind, are they available? Is there any blind that reduces heat? Most importantly what is a good price range to look for and where to get them in the east area. I am thinking of bedok central or city plaza, has anyone been there?

Hi I'll pm u the numbers. Check out their website www.sinyickseng.com

for products too. There's another supplier at Depot Road. Can't remember the name, -... seng too. Check Saturday papers, always advertise.

If u do get anything from them, could you update the rest of us about price? I should need to get mine soon.

cheers

Although I got my outdoor bamboo blinds 103" wide x 47" high (cost abt $580) together through a curtain shop in Joo Chiat Complex, you could try this shop which sells many types of bamboo blinds.
