rumi 0 Report post Posted October 7, 2008 i was told by my ID that through past experience, they haveproblem trying to drill a hole into the wire glass, so is easier to use a laminated glass and laminated glass is also approved. nots ure who to believe Is wire glass more expensive than laminated glass? Just in case they try to earn my money.. I thought laminated glass look nicer/neater/cleaner than wire glass. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
applefreak 1 Report post Posted October 8, 2008 this part i'm not too sure i only know the hdb permit stated that wire glass MUST be used also, laminated glass is less burglar-resistant compared to wired glass personally, i rarely look at the glass coz it's out of my line of sight when i shower :lol: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rumi 0 Report post Posted October 8, 2008 I feel that laminated glass look neater & nicer. The inner wires complicates the look of the window. I just called central alum and was quoted per change of 1 wc window in 1 toilet at $120 for wire glass & $180 for laminated glass for my case of 1 column of window in each wc only. Jasmine told me that laminated frosted glass can also be used in hdb & easier to clean also. The price of 8" 20WUD KDK fan from Hong Kwang is $69.55 after GST So it would be $120 x 2 + $69.55 x 2 = $379.1 for wire glass & $180 x 2 + $69.55 x 2 = $499.1 for laminate glass. I think my ID is cheaper. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

qristeele 0 Report post Posted October 9, 2008 (edited) I be changing one of my bathroom louvred to top hung wired frosted glass.. plus circular kdk fan. Got a quote of $270 for installation minus the wiring from a popular company recommended over the forums. Seem to be slightly more than what the others have been quoted.. Any electrician to recommend to just do up the point? Edited October 9, 2008 by qristeele Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rumi 0 Report post Posted October 9, 2008 $270 for 1 wc or 2? laminate or wire glass. Depends on the model of the KDK fan too. yah i forgot my id quoted me $360 not $380, but is as a contract package, so if just want to do window, may not be able to get this price.

groomie 0 Report post Posted February 25, 2009 I have just contact Jasmine from Aluminum Central for the change from lourve to top hung window with laminated glass with KDK's 20WUD round ventilation fan @ $256.80 inclusive of gst. Please note that they will not do the electrical tapping. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
qristeele 0 Report post Posted February 25, 2009 (edited) I just did mine in Nov. Yeah, they don't do the electrical tapping. Luckily hubby knows how to do it. Now my bathroom has no more mould. Edited February 25, 2009 by qristeele Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
