Prettibride 0 Report post Posted August 7, 2008 Hi Pretty can advise if you got discount from PJ for your sink? also wat brand is this? looks familiar cos i saw this for Franke and Roz brands Hi, i am not too sure what brand this is..tink its a no-brand. PJ is well known for selling look-alike designer stuff. Anyway, as long as it serves the purpose, I am more than happy. The price PJ quote are usually quite good so no discount is needed...but i did get a overall discount after buying a few items. I saw this original Franke sink in other shops too..cost $300+. Sim Siang Choon also have similar sinks for $300 - $400+. I got mine for only $280. my ID is giving me neither a flat discount nor any freebies neverthless, i'm still gonna sign with him cos i find that there's this chemistry btw us. so hopefully able to come up with something nice your ID must have done a really good job in gaining your trust. i hope things turn out well for you too...remember to share pics here. My ID just told me he can't offer anymore reduction...so i guess its either i dump in more cash..or else will just hv to sacrifice some stuff...sighx~ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Prettibride 0 Report post Posted August 8, 2008 (edited) My selected tiles Balcony floor & common toilet MBR toilet tiles ~ sadly my ID said the floor tiles cannot be used cos its too big..have to reselect a smaller tile in order to have good gradient..but me and hubby really liked this floor tile..sighx.. Homo. floor tile...can't afford the super white tiles @ $9 - $10psf..this is the closer we can get to white..anyone here has seen whiter homo. tiles? Pls let me know...much appreciated!! Thinking of getting this tap for our MBR..but need to check if the sink can fit first. Headache Bought this F&P dishwasher from a fellow forummer...thanks for the great deal~ finally i get to enjoy my cooking without the washing!! Can't wait to get this installed and start using it. I am so excited cos we're shifting out this weekend~ one step closer to our reno..yippeeeee Edited November 19, 2008 by Prettibride Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
carelinwen 0 Report post Posted August 8, 2008 Homo. floor tile...can't afford the super white tiles @ $9 - $10psf..this is the closer we can get to white..anyone here has seen whiter homo. tiles? Pls let me know...much appreciated!! The $9-10 white tile is the italian one at SBH? I saw that too. I went ard getting white non-glossy homo tiles samples from most suppliers few months back for my place. The whitest one I could find was at Taugres (Balestier along same stretch as Hafary). However, during installation, the tiler said that the tiles i chosed had quite a lot of warping and that is not a defect so supplier usually will not change. So in the end tiler tried his best to align and I have very slight misalignment at certain areas, which I can accept. The second best white tile I got was from Builder's Shop at Changi (near $4 psf). So do ask the supplier about any warping problems with the tiles before you commit, seems that white homo tiles have more of such problems. If you want glossy white tiles, think those new range of 'glass' tiles have the very white one but it has some specks in it (look like stone flooring). Anyway happy tile shopping, hope that you'll find what you like. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You have any pic of your white tiles? I thought warping only happens to 800x800 tiles..din know small tiles will warp too. I'll look around a bit more...if really can't find any, will just stick to my 1st choice. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hint: You had just ask about the white tiles in the blog that my HB is maintaining. Actually the warping cannot be seen until you shine strong light at an angle then the slight uneveness will cast a slight shadow at the grout. If you purposely go feel the area of uneveness can also feel a bit up down but when you walk over cannot really feel. Go ask for the white tile sample at builder's shop, it's much whiter than HF or SBH. I didn't choose them in the end because I wanted the whitest one.

I just asked my ID to lookout for whiter homo tiles for me..cos the one we selected is from HF is really not acceptable...appreciate it..thanks!
