fifteenmay 40 Report post Posted June 6, 2010 The foyer tiles looks pretty decent and has a laminate feel...Something that look like wood yet is more lasting than laminated flooring. This is the interface between my foyer and kitchen tiles. I choose the lighter kitchen tiles so that the kitchen will look brighter and more spacious.. Kitchen cabinet base is also done. The tiles look good! Good Choice. you chose 30cm x 30cm tiles? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The same tiles comes in 60 x 30cm which i think might be better. Seriously, I have never seen this tiles comes in 60 x 60 after visiting Hafary and LHS Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

pnokio 0 Report post Posted June 18, 2010 Thanks! I purchase this sink MN-TR106. Seems pretty solid and suitable for my usage. The salesperson told me it can be undermounted but Patrick advise me not to do it because this is not a true undermount sink. He mention he encounter a few cases of leak within 6 months. I am a bit skeptical initially and after checking with two other shops, they mention that undermount can be down with "undermount" sink. After doing some search on the internet, MN sink is made by Mor-ning. After reading through their profile, I found out that they are actually a ISO9001:2000 certified company. I hope the sink quality turns out to be good. Using topmount sink as undermount sink is actually a risk. For those who has yet to buy a sink, please take note of this. An example of undermount sink is as shown in the following website. Undermount sink has a totally flat surface http://www.elkayusa.com/cps/rde/xchg/elkay...amp;vqmaterial= Oh dear, aft reading ur post m concern abt my new sink! It's not totally flat! N my contractor didnt warn me abt it. The guy who sold the sink said suitable for undermount.

Some contractor willing to do but for my contractor, he recommend us not to do that. Anyway, i feel having undermount makes it tough to change the sink when we need to. If ur contractor willing to do, then I guess ok. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
