noobhouse 1 Report post Posted March 30, 2010 sunrin design came to take measurements & then gave me further discount. but they getting on my nerves. on day itself ask me if I can confirm deal, told them need to discuss it over. call me on evening itself after work to ask again, then 2 days later call me again. my quote is valid for quite a while but this pressurising technique is starting to p*** me off Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
eteo 0 Report post Posted March 31, 2010 We just got recommended to a Mr Chew. He works from home and would turn up with his samples at your place to do measurements and choosing of materials. Sounds a bit blur and lost on the phone but is quite ok and friendly in real life. He was also helpful in recommending the appropriate colours and materials. We went to Jimmy Textiles previously and they were definitely more expensive. Also, I prefer seeing the materials AT our home rather than at a shop because it was hard to visualise the effect. We got the following: Living: Day curtains (one layer) MBR: 100% blackout and day curtains (two layers) Study: 1 roller blind Kitchen: 1 roller blind Yard (with washing machine, etc): 1 bamboo chick Total cost= S$1050 nett. Mr Chew informed that the MBR materials are from Europe while our living room ones are from Turkey. When we asked for cheaper prices, he said there are the made-in-china ones but in the end, we stayed with our original choices Will try and post up pix once it's done, if anyone's interested! Hi, can you PM or email me eteo66@yahoo.com for Mr Chew's contact? Thanks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I would like to check this is the norm (as in a gap in between) or is it because the curtains were not drawn properly? My friend's place curtains have the same issue ie, the gaps in between and she resorted to using a clothes peg to hold the curtains together. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I have experience with a curtain without a gap in the middle. I did not like it because I could not open the curtains when I wanted to. I prefer a gap.

What do you mean when you say you can open the curtains? Can you kindly elaborate pls? Thanks! For me, the gap is annoying when that ray of sunlight still passes through and shines onto the tv screen. Then it kinda defeats the purpose. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
