After our decision to use the Luxurious Resilient Flooring from FloorXpert throughout, we had to get into the installation of vinyl flooring for our BTO. Selecting the vinyl flooring colours When it came to selecting the colours for the vinyl flooring, we left it to Shao Jie. We let him choose the colours when we […]
When it comes to flooring, most people see it as a choice between vinyl, tile, laminate, or cement flooring for BTOs. Tiles are the longstanding and steady option, but increasingly more people are going for vinyl flooring. Some also go for the cement flooring option to go for an industrial look, which is something different
Next up is really to explain the process for getting ceiling fans for a BTO. When it comes to ceiling fans, there seems to be two camps. One says that ceiling fans are hard to maintain or they’re not very nice. The other can’t live without ceiling fans. PQ doesn’t really mind either way, whereas
Jun Wei’s guys did minor wet works in the kitchen and toilets around the same time as the painting. Nothing fantastic or abnormal for those works. It seemed like our home already needed very minimal wet works. We have seen cases online where the wet works were extensive, and a large part of it was
Since the start, Shao Jie’s design concept has been to offer a contrast in the colour scheme, which gives us our eclipse theme. It was therefore natural that we were looking at multi-tone painting works for greater contrast in our BTO home. This would make up for the choice of a relatively muted colour (gray),
After choosing our aircon installer, brand, and system we went ahead with the installation once Shao Jie and Jun Wei said it was time. We were busy with work. So we got Jun Wei to supervise Jex Aircon’s first trip to install the aircon piping. This was after we paid up via bank transfer. It was
We’re not sponsored, so first off we need to add a disclaimer that we wrote only our honest opinion. It is important to know how to choose an aircon for your BTO. You should want as little repair and overhaul as possible for your aircon system. It was important for us to decide how we
The process to choose basins and taps for our HDB home sounded like an easy one. How difficult was it to choose basins and taps, especially since we weren’t fussy people who needed specific shapes for our basin and certain types of water sprouts? Our preferences were actually quite simple. PQ doesn’t like to have
Since we booked our current BTO, we have been in a HDB Whatsapp chat, Telegram group, and Facebook group. These are for the sake of connecting with the community here. It’s been quite weird so far It has been a strange experience, connecting with people who we would never have gotten to know. Not that
Was browsing HWZ EDMW today and saw a video that got us thinking about why we shouldn’t overpay for an HDB flat. We must caveat that there’s probably nothing ground breaking in this video. The insights are just a compilation of advice floating around. Most of it is quite ‘duh’, very intuitive. The video concludes
