Just wanted to check if you did the homo tiles first or the laminate flooring first?.

I have some bedrooms going to have laminate flooring, so not sure about the order.

ps: Order as in the order on what to do first, home tiles or laminate flooring

Can kindly advise please?.

Thanks! !!

For my case, its the homo tiles first then followed by the laminate. I guess it also depends if you are also going to have platforms in your bedroom or living room. Usually the carpentry work (the platforms) will only come in after the flooring and ceiling is done. In this case, it is only logical for the laminate to be done later. The other thing to consider is also that the first phase of the reno tends to be more rough, unlike homo tiles that can be polished later, scratches on laminate will be harder to fix. It therefore makes more sense to have the more delicate laminate to only come in towards the end of the renovation...

hi Cece

They are juz starting work on my hse, so can't comment abt workmanship. But I got them after reading up renotalk. Their pricing is reasonable.

So far Alex service is fine. He drove me to 2 hses to preview. He also drove us to choose tiles and bathroom accessories. Also most of the meeting is at Toa Payoh. Only went to his office once for the initial discussion.

Here's the link to their homepage - http://www.summitdesign.com.sg/

For those thinking of using Alex from Summit, maybe you let him know Mr Lau from 40th storey (that's me) recommend. Maybe can give you better pricing ? Afterall, I am his first blk 79 customer

Hi All,

Has anyone plan to install "Heater Tank" in the Bathroom instead of in the kitchen?

(As I only need hot water for shower)

I just notice a Pipping layout drawing in my letter box,

after looking at it, i think it is possible to install it in the bathroom.

Please advice if you had done so or plan to do it.

Thank you

not too sure.. but heard that if you're installing a electrical one, then there might b a posibility to install it in the bathroom, but not for those who sign with city gas. Better get a plumber or whoever to check it out.

Hi Derrick

That's interested. Never thot of that. It is a gd idea, since my toilet ceiling is high enough. I will check my letterbox and explore with my ID as well.

Thanks for giving me another option.

BTW, I have confirm with my ID not to build the washing machine & fridge base. Save me $160. Can use the $$ to buy more bathroom accessories.

wow, that's good news! now, i'm having a problem with my fridge location....i can't open the fridge door more than 90 degrees....sianz.....

hmm.....its a good idea to place it in the bathroom. already hoping that we can install it in the bathroom. but i tot since the piping has already done up, it can only be install in the kitchen. but alister, if we are getting joven storage heater, the exterior is not stainless cover le. install in bathroom, the exterior might rust due to the moist in the near future.

what time are you going to your new hse today??

I going to meet him @ 1.30pm at blk 79D. Then to do final tiles selection and if got time, ask him to drive me to Poh Joo to buy the Joven storage heater. Already told Ms White maybe I will call her if I confirm buying.

Maybe I can ask Poh Joo people regarding the rust issue.
