Cindy-Monkeybone 1 Report post Posted August 12, 2007 went expo 2, wouldn't decide on Kronotex or Supreme... even thought the pricing was quite good. Both have its pro and con. If u have $$, go for Kronotex as they have bigger type of laminated flooring known as "Mau....." which looks prettier for your floor. FYI, I am comparing the pricing & quality for the best type of lamintaed flooring offered by the 2 companies caused I believe cheap quality does not last long.

Simpleboi 0 Report post Posted August 12, 2007 the "showroom" is using an electric heater and no matter what, it seems like the gas heater or electric heater has to be outside because of the pipes what model is the mattress?Simmons @ such a cheap price.... The mattress model is Special Edition...Yup found it to be a good price and tried the mattress...really comfortable and when u move, dun affect the other party one keke... Hi Neighbours,Just came back from Expo's 'Creative Living', my hubby and I already confirmed the laminated flooring from Supreme and system 3 air con from Mitsubishi <Good Bargain ..... It is cheaper than Gain City, Best Denki....... but no credit card payment allowed > . ....... Next step, Kitchen Cabinets + Electrical + Lighting........ So happy. ^ _ ^ 3 Cheers,CindyHehe, around how much did u get for the mitsubishi air con...I also got a price quoted from the expo fair, but didnt get in the end..coz found it to be not that cheap...but also not sure went expo 2, wouldn't decide on Kronotex or Supreme... even thought the pricing was quite good. Both have its pro and con. got 2 other 2 IDs to quote based on our requirements... hopefully they fit our budget (which is not alot).If not, then haf to source for individual contractor to do the workYup our budget is tight too...so hope this ID give us a good quote..will go look for them on Saturday etc...also have to check what they give etc...anybody knows any important things to take note?

kriegs 0 Report post Posted August 13, 2007 (edited) y made u guys go for laminate flooring?personally like the look and feel of it when stepping... one of the range for krono does not reflect as much light as normal laminated..and maybe for a change, as been living on tiles for ages... when u guys & gals say tight budget... how tight is it?very scary leh... more than 1 of you who been to the show say tight budget alreadycos renov is just 1 part of doing up a home.. there also appliances, your day-2-day items + others unknown issue that may just crop up...better to work within what you can afford...

binzz 10 Report post Posted August 13, 2007 ok, just wanna check... based on your visits to Expo, is $30k for reno alone ok or considered tight? $30k for reno alone is consider alot.. haha, unless u have in mind alot of carpentary, design features. Reno costs alone does not include alot of things.. I did an estimate, to complete the whole house, with all electrical appliances, furniture, reno, mattress, deco, we will need around a $45k budget.. *faint*... Somemore cut off alot of things liao..
