Today went out to recce for curtains: -

1) Went to Tanjong Katong Complex (Jimmy Textile)

Very crowded and lots of people. The salesperson give me the feel of like "bo chap" and just quote and go

2) After dinner went to Eminent Plaza with my wife (MGL curtain)

We reached there at 7pm and it is quiet. Service is a lot better.

My personal opinion is MGL curtain is more interested..

We still cant make up our mind..Probably talk to Doris at D'zander 1st before making a decision.

Thank you. My wife and I wanted something matt because glossy laminates tends to be more obvious when they are scratched.

Hi htng, I'm also sourcing for a reno contractor and seems that many forumers recommend Patrick from Ho Bee. Could you PM me his number pls? Many thanks!!

Ask your ID. Some ID say no but some say yes. Why I say that. Typically, both glossy and matt laminate are prone to scratches and both are the same in terms of scratch resistance. I did an experiment by scratching on the laminate samples given by my contractor. It is not easy to scratch them. However, if you have a sharp object, it is alway possible. I have design consumer products with gloss surfaces in the past and once they are scratched, scratches are obvious..

Just take the new white glossy macbook as an example. Nice, white and glossy but prone to scratches and fingerprints. Having said that, just go with what you like.

I believe there should be a topic on glossy vs matt laminates.

The kitchen is almost done. Now waiting for the glass backsplash to be ready. Installed hob today and there seems to be some issue with one side as the fire keeps shutting off..Need to ask Hobz technician to have a look already...Jialat..

After some delay, everything is back on track.

A view of my foyer.

This is how my shoe cabinet and settee looks. I should have chose a more lighter tone despite this looks pretty light already...I think an even lighter grey will look better
