Thanks, necrosis! Luckily my HTB aka rainbowguy (he secretly created his renotalk ID without me knowing) is quite understanding. he kept telling me to ignore the cost factor first. Choose what i really like; then calculate the price. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

rainbowgal 0 Report post Posted November 2, 2009 After the tiles selection, hope to get some advice from RT members on the following: 1) any recommendation on where to get aircon? we are likely to get system 3 for our house (just for the bedrooms). 2) any recommendation on where to get the bathroom accessories? thinking to get rainshower for MBR toilet. if so, is it necessary to get the storage heater kind? Thanks in advance! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mickey M 0 Report post Posted November 2, 2009 For the floor tiles, we will be using the same kind for both Kitchen and Toilets.. White in color but rough texture cos' my HTB scare of falling down.. haha... Not going to do for the kitchen wall tiles cos' of budget issue (almost 3-4k for wall tiles in kitchen).. plus we dun think we will cook that often. Hey hey Rainbowgal! Congrats on finalising your chosen tiles. Like to share some info on space concepts with you. Hope you don't mind. I looked at your selections and see that you mention you will also be using white floor tiles for your toilets. Cos I see part of your wall tiles will be white too and I don't know how white your floor tiles will be, do bear in mind when the wall tiles and the floor tiles are almost the same colour, the ceiling (should be white also) will look lower cos of the lack of contrast between space and height (in this case, between the floor, wall, ceiling). But you also have black tiles and mosaics! So if the laying is done rite, it should eliminate this issue. So maybe what you can do is after the hardworking workers finished laying of the wall tiles, try to put the white floor tiles and see whether you feel okie with it.

Thanks for the advice!! I nvr realise that! the chosen floor tiles have a shimmering effect (under light).. but it is rough texture. So it should hv some contrast against the white wall tiles.

I got mine at gain city but heard that hong tar not bad also, you might want to check it out 2) any recommendation on where to get the bathroom accessories? thinking to get rainshower for MBR toilet. if so, is it necessary to get the storage heater kind? Yes, rainshower requires storage heater due to the water pressure Thanks in advance! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
chip&dale 0 Report post Posted November 2, 2009 Hi dsman, we are planning to start our reno in late nov.. where is ur new home? thanks for the recommendation! but i realised that sin lek doesn't put their prices on the tiles like what Soon Bee Huat has done. this does make us abit uncomfortable... esp when we talked to one of the staff there (known as Ms Lim), she simply told us to choose what we like ... disregard the price factor... for that moment, both of us feel that we are 'carrots'.. hahaha.. perhaps we should make another trip to sin lek and look for may chia instead. eh.. sin lek did put the prices on the tiles.. just that they put it in a different form.. C2 - means $3.20, B8 - means $2.80 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

C2 - means $3.20, B8 - means $2.80 Hi chip&dale, thanks for the info. however, we have decided on the tiles from Soon Bee Huat. The lady who served us at Sin lek didn't tell us that when we asked about the price. Hence, we really felt like 'carrots' there and decided not to return.
