SW80 0 Report post Posted April 18, 2009 Common toilet tile selection. We have 2 sets in mind and will complement with kitchen design and color scheme. Basically ID have to color the drawings by hand to make a comparison. Quite straight forward. Master toilet will be a bit tricky. We want an "warm" feel but was stuck with the following selections. See photos on your right are the 3 choices we are stuck with right now. Op1 and Op3 are the rough surface tiles that I like and basically with these tiles used as a "color focus" will give our toilet a more resort feel. But my wife complain that these tiles are difficult to maintain and will probably leave white stain marks if come in contact with water, shampoo etc and therefore she prefer Op2, which is the smooth tiles as the more practical choice. No doubt that Op2 can also complement our wall tiles quite nicely, pending ID coloring. Any guys got experience with using rough tiles for bathrooms ? Are they really difficult to maintain, grow algae etc? Lets discuss. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SW80 0 Report post Posted April 18, 2009 (edited) hi sw80, nice layout you got there! lots of storage in kitchen wow. will sky design give you computerized 3d drawings as well? Your ID does handdrawn? I think very few IDs do that now. I have admiration for those who do. Feels more customised. Hee hee no.. His hand drawing is good and I preferred design present to us this way. Also he mentioned that there are many types of tiles/paints with different feel and color to choose from. Computerised drawing might not have the library to access all type of tiles. Hand coloring might give us a better picture of the finished product. I may be wrong but I will post his drawings to all in another 2 weeks time for our next due meet up.. Edited April 18, 2009 by SW80 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I enlarge the 3 tiles photo again for better view.. Op1: medium roughness Op2: Smooth Op3: Rough with steps.. Saw your photos. Is similar to my floor tiles and these tiles should not have a problem.

pinkpetter 0 Report post Posted April 18, 2009 mmm I think your tiles are much rougher than mine. The grooves are deeper. Did you see Rondy's situation? His tiles trap the soapsuds (like what your wife said). Maybe you take a look at his before deciding? I like your middle smooth tile. Regretted not taking it for our MBR. *sigh* Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SW80 0 Report post Posted May 10, 2009 Wha... I though my blog was lost somewhere in space. I have not put up a post in my blog for some time... We finally got the keys on 5th May 2009 and started our official house opening yesterday.. Can't wait for our renovation to start. Today, ID came to our house today to survey and discuss on our electrical wiring with new quotation. We also covered the areas for hacking. Most likely, we will start the hacking somewhere at 24th May while awaiting him to apply HDB permit.. Hopefully by end of next week, we will expect some work schedule from him. Some of the finalized drawings are handled over to us. Except for the kitchen and the bedroom coloring. which he says he needed to redraw again.. I will upload all when he is ready for our next meet up. Color drawings are as follows, with our finalized tile selection: Common bathroom Master toilet There will be some areas where we need to box up to hide those ugly sewage pipings for both toilets. Effect will probably not as similar as what is shown in our drawings.. Bedroom cabinet ID did proposed something. But we counter proposed with our own cabinet interior design to suit our needs. Also, the choice of cabinet color is also our proposal. All thanks to the previous forum member contributions to this forum.. It will be a busy weeks ahead for us..
