Hi Newlife, I suppose vinyl is cheaper. Not very sure about this coz I did not ask him to quote for teak. I don't like the maintenance of teak. But I still feel yours is on the higher side because mine is a 4 room bto & I suppose the size of your house should not be that much different? who quoted for u? I'm actually thinking of doing vinyl for the entire house now but is worried of the chemical. Do u wan my contact so that you can do a comparison?
