Felixp 1 Report post Posted October 27, 2009 warm welcome to RT! :rolleyes: :rolleyes: Hi rainbowgal, welcome and congrats... Wish u a smooth reno journey. So in the end, u selected ur tiles...? We went to Sin Lek, Hafary and LSH; utimately decided on Hafary. Heard from Ah soon and Jason that they dont recommend Hafary cos heard that Hafary's always out of stock for tiles and dun give them rebates. But mr Yeak recommend Hafary instead, cos he felt the variety at Hafary is better. If u are gg to Sin Lek again, can look for May Chia. She was quite helpful when we were there, but true that their variety is limited compared to LSH & Hafary. We feel LSH's service okay but not much suggestion in helping us choose.. and their tile prices are more expensive than Hafary like say, 20cts per tiles. We liked Hafary better, cos their tiles seem more modern and to our liking. hehes Just sharing my views. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mickey M 0 Report post Posted October 27, 2009 Hihi! Soon Bee Huat has alot of tiles for selections. They have a wider ranges in term of pricing and design I think. I think for Hafary, they select their tiles carefully. Though they have fewer tiles selections compare to Soon Bee Huat, the tiles designs are more appealing I think.

Yup, Jason told us that Hafary is always out of stock but we are thinking to see what Hafary offer this weekend. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The cost of the white tile is $2.20 psf, consider pretty cheap. There is only white colour though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Do pay a visit to Hafary if you have the time. No harm to check out different places. I been to White Horse also, decent place but might not be cheap. ^^.

Hmm....do go to both Even though they said that defu branch is whole building the showroom is only on the 1st floor. Go and take a look at the mock up in defu but selection of tiles balestier branch staff is more helpful in giving suggestion and color combi Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
