I use the plastic sheet roof to allow light through for the laundry area to dry clothes.
I guess it will serve the same function as a zinc sheet.

Renovation Updates


The renovation recently cater to the "bathing connoisseur / aficionado / enthusiast / zealot / addict / mad / crazy ,,," part of me

As mentioned before my contractor installed 2 water tank.
Extra one advantage, if water shortage in my area I have more water storage thus last longer.




Tiling has started

Kitchen and Laundry area..



Bathroom



You will notice there is a feature wall at the shower area I designed myself, I nearly lost my mind choosing that tiles. The tiles I initially choose cost nearly as much as the tiles for 1 whole bathroom tiles.
Luckily sanity prevailed and I changed my mind after a good night sleep

Things I've learned
: - locate your water tank along the concrete wall top, depending on roof truss timber to provide support is not enough. Water damm heavy.
:- Usually cement is used to adhere tiles to wall,
Adhesive (susu) is used when shiny, glossy tiles are involved. The chemicals that are used to process these tiles cause the tiles to have reduced adhesion thus susu) is needed.
Even if it is "Grade 1" tiles, it is not all perfect, bound to find some tiles to be "imperfect", especially wall tiles. Sad to say usually these imperfection are only noticeable when the tiler apply/use the tiles (the imperfection are noticeable when it is placed side by side with the other tiles).

guys for any help or info bout reno u guys can msg me the best part is i can give consultation for free but u may buy a cup of teh tarik,would be please to help other to fill my time haha.oh btw im an architect with alil bit of interior experience.

No la... Main go to tank..s, then only go to house hold piping. Bigger tank only.

Nice bathroom wall tiles. It's exciting when you see it on the walls for the first time, isn't it?

hee hee you are right
After seeing the tiles up, it gives the bathroom a totally new vibe.
Cant wait to take a bath there

Added on December 5, 2011, 2:21 pmNow Plaster ceiling has started, thus need to look for Downlights.

Made up my mind to use Round type vertical Downlight with energy savings bulb and ballast.

So far I visited Avalon(Puchong), Top Ten(Puchong) and Wong lighting(PJ and KL).

Avalon - only sell D/L with bulb without external ballast.

Top Ten - The D/L casing they have has very flimsy skeleton - paperlike.

Wong Lighting - Their higher end products Eliminuz (or something like that) only has horizontal type D/L .
-saw a sample of YET D/L being displayed , good sturdy casing, but when the actual product , latest batch is shown, it is the same flimsy D/L I saw in Top Ten...
Another option is YLI from Ipoh, slightly pricer but the reflector is sandblast type, not so bright reflection
Ask if can use YLI casing + YET reflector = they say "NO"

Still have not decided on which brand yet

Note : it seems that YET and Evenzzo are adik beradik, same product diffrent branding.
