  1. Hi pinkyceline, The laminate has been holding up quite well so far with mopping every other day. Just make sure your mop is not dripping wet. We use the 3M Scotch Brite microfibre mop which can be taken out for washing easily.
  2. Hi Charm, Our old flooring is terrazzo. It is very hard and quite costly to hack. The laminates were laid on top of the old flooring without hacking. Usually you don't have to hack the floor to lay laminates. Later on, you can still remove the laminate should you wish to get back to your old flooring. HTHs
  3. updated pics of our house after the brick wall is finished with white paint. Very happy with the final result! This was taken sometime ago after CNY spring cleaning.
  4. Hi fal681, The laminate for our kitchen top is Piano White. We use it for our shoe cabinet as well. After a year plus, the color still looks very nice and like new. The price for our kitchen is $110/ft long. It is done by our main contractor as well. I have posted his contact in the older post. All the best for your reno.

  6. Hi Salad

    THANK YOU, very much.

    PS: have a blessed holidays! nice brick wall matches the tree too ... heeheee

  7. We ordered it from a door contractor advertised in ST. His name is Joseph, contact no 97357380. Company name: Great Star Interior. - Bifold door with bottom track: $138 - Bifold door with top track: $200 - Rubbish chute: $150 We opted for the top track as it requires less maintenance, and from my research it is more durable than the bottom track as well. My contractor quoted $300 for a top track door. So we saved $100 x 2 = $200 for the 2 toilet doors. The 2 panel doors were not included in their general catalogue but I asked if he could do it, and he said yes. I believe any bi-fold door contractors should be able to provide this design as well Hope it helps!
  8. Brick wall has been completed. Will paint it in white this weekend!! Setting up our Christmas tree, just bought yesterday at $60. Supper happy Will be shopping for ornaments at IKEA soon.

  10. Since many of you have asked, I attached my quotation here for your easy reference.
  11. We finished the whole brick wall last weekends. Yay!!!!!!! Only need to fill in the gap between the bricks and paint over, and we are good for the holiday. Super excited
  12. Hi natural9, Yes we installed laminate floor for the whole living room + 2 bedrooms, except kitchen. The laminate contractor will need to hack away the skirting at the side of the wall to install the wood skirting (especially since our original floor is terrazzo, the original skirting is curve and not straight). Cost wise, laminate floor is about half price of tiling. And we love the cozy feeling of the laminate floor. We can lie on the floor directly, not too cold nor too hot. Hope it helps and all the best with your reno process
  13. After much delay, finally the DIY brick wall has been started We used 2 types of glue: Maxbond & Builder... glues. We prefer the later one as it dries faster, so no need to hold the tiles and wait for it to be dried. But you have to be fast though =) Our progress so far... We could not find the wood spacer to put in the gaps, hence used some rolled paper from magazine. It works well too! Hopefully we can finish it next weekend. Will post the updates then
  14. Yup, price does not include installation. I got my contractor to install the fan It is very quiet. I didn't notice any noise at all at low speed during night.
  15. Hi Mrs Loo, I find the workmanship of the tiler is acceptable. As we only redid the floor tiles, and ours are very simple/plain designs, I can't really comment on whether the tiler knew how to lay in such a way the wall and floor blends well. Our wall tiles are spray painted.
