Hi SYTan, I also haven done that part yet, as i wanted to put the wooden plank over it, like the limiated flooring. But was quoted for 1k+ for that, so still considering as my reno already over budget liao. If my ID willing to discount me, i may do lor. But 1k+ for 3rm is really out of my budget now.

HAPPY Hi Happy, Did sound to her already, but seems tat as the cost she told me is very high so mostly not much discount lor. But see how, if i want to take a loan than may consider doing it. As i already over budget by 2k+ liao, if still added on i sure die die also must take loan le. That's really expensive! I was thinking of having a shelf there but then again, it's gonna block the windows so i am keeping it open until i have more ideas. =/ Hi SYTan, Actually i also find it quite expensive, but my ID say the cost for the plank is abt that price as it's laminated so wont be cheap lor. I also run out of ideas for tat part too, pls share if u have any gd ideas. TIA Maybe can u PM me ur contact number, when i go inspect my unit will go to ur unit for references or u can also come over to my unit for references As not much of our blk ppl come "renotalk", or i may have not found any yet.

patsy_sg 1 Report post Posted July 1, 2008 Hi steve.. hb works in the wood industry and he said if you use those type of woods used for cabinetry there is a tendency to warp over time... but using solidl wood is really expensive, costs about $1.5 k but more lasting. If you plan to stay in the place long, maybe you can consider solid wood. Just a suggestion coz we were faced with this issue for our new place also...

SYTan 0 Report post Posted July 1, 2008 LOL, sure, but i just got the keys and still sourcing for renovation stuff, so the flat is actually empty, more like i visit yours for reference than mine. xD Anyway, mine is a 3-room flat, but i think the layout and all roughly looks the same when i looked into my neighbour's flat.

Sorry sorry.. i heard wrongly, you CANNOT put solid wood in this area if there is sunlight at that is what is going to warp. Better to use plywood with veneer (but must use one piece veneer, not joined) good thing I double checked with him!! sorry for the wrong info Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
