Have heard about some bad reviews about aluminium companies that uses thin hollow aluminium windows with double glass and claim its soundproof windows. I can see that your profile is different from our original HDB profile. Is it from originated from the Europe region? My house is located beside a busy road. Can i get a quote for a hdb master bedroom? How much is the window blind as well? Thanks.

I like to recommend one alum grill company too. My parent's hdb masionette house in Hougang recently installed Window grill. We got quotes for some contractor, because of the height issue, they also quote me higher charges for it. Through Facebook, I managed to find one sub-contractor company that does its own production and their price is lower. I saw that they had Expo Exhibition (goes to show they are quite legit) so I engaged them. They took only 10days to install for me and the powder coat window grilles looks really good. pm me if you need their contacts

What to use to seal back the rubber of bathroom transparent door?
RobinHo0d replied to Misc100's topic in RENOVATION WORKS
mine came out too last week. I did not use silicone, just use force to push the rubber seal into the glass panel. It is really tight, once in place, it should not come out easily. -
Is this contractor quote considered reasonable?
RobinHo0d replied to 21stDecember's topic in Renovation Packages
Hi, can pm me the contractor details? Might be doing some minor renovation. -
Firstly, like most renovation company I dont think HDB Door Pte Ltd manufacture PD doors, they take your order and install for you. Looking from that, I am not 100% but I think you can: 1) have a tiler/cement guy to extend the kerb on the inside of the bathroom such that, the sharp edge is not protruding out. 2) tile the door from left right, such that the sharp edge protruding is on the other side, not sure will that cause more hinder. 3) get them to smooth the edge of the protruding point to minimise the cut (fingers crossed) Hope it helps

Have some ID friends that told me that double glazed window is NOT only about the two piece of glasses. Some companies out there are just selling double glass window with normal sliding aluminum frame that is identical to any new BTO windows and they charged steep for it. Hence i think I will see the frame to differentiate the good ones and the bad ones. I done some research and uPVC window frame seems to be the hot stuff now, inside the frame, there are small small chambers. I am thinking the noise will get reduce greatly by then. Laminated glass is the preferred glass type for soundproofing. As of now, I am thinking about cheaper means, like having carpets or thicker double layered curtains to reduce the noise from the MRT. Do PM me if anyone has any good double glazed contractor contacts.

Powder Coated Mild Steel vs Wrought Iron
RobinHo0d replied to binglei's topic in Renovation Packages
Power coat is different from normal spray paint gates. Power coat is more lasting, even when scratched, you see the scratch less obvious. Compared to normal paint, you can see the base color of the metal i.e. silver for Aluminium. Most gate manufacturer companies dont have powder coating facilities, they engage a third party powder coat company to do the job for them. That's why it takes around 10days. You can powder coat any material, be it wrought iron or mild steel. Agree with @superk888, wrought iron gate cost around $500. I had mine done up nicely through a friend referral, good follow up servicing as well. I think the company name is Fortune ... something...
