My Humble Abode (Without Id)

[Lucidacid 4]

Hi Lucidacid,

Are you doing tiles or laminate for your living room + 3 bedrooms? Can share your quote if you are doing tiles.

Hi! For my living room I decided to go for laminates since my workplace is using the exact same ones and they look gorgeous. Moreover, it's a place with high traffic and I always pour water onto the floor in large amount by accident. But yet, after years and years, it still looks gorgeous. Found out they are waterproof.

Tiling is probably cheaper but I don't like the cold feel under my feet and the need for upkeep of the grout! So yes, I'm sorry I can't help you in the quote since I'm not doing it! Hope this helps!

Furniture:

Electronics

God has been extremely good to us! Our bosses and friends have contacts all around town and so, we got everything at half of our budget. Example: We saw the exact same tiles at Hafary but it's about $5-6 per square feet. We got them at $2.30-$3.20 per square feet. And now electronics too! My best friend works in Samsung, so I got all these at more than 50% cheaper than Best Denki, Gain City etc.

55" FHD TV

12KG/9KG Dryer + Washer

Humongous fridge. My fiancé and I drink lots of water in a day so the water supply was a must to us despite the space constraint in our HDB kitchen.

Thanks for replying. But tiling is no longer cheap due to the pre-packed screed. I got quotes from 7.5 - 8K for tiling.

Laminates is waterproof? But require more effort for maintenance? How much is the rate for laminates? For laminates I can appeal HDB for free screeding so probably can save $$$ there if opt for vinyl / laminate.

Hi! (:

Oh my. Then laminates is definitely way cheaper. I got the the waterproof ones with lifetime warranty at $6.80 psf (before discount). That's what I did too. I appealed for HDB screeding. One thing though, if you get them to do screeding be prepared to be upset because 80% or so of the time, the floor that they do up isn't flat. I have a lot of bumps in my house and I'm still trying to rectify it after a month and a half. ((:
