Tips:


EASY WASH PAINT:


Based on my experience using Nixxxx paint Easy Wash, i would like to inform that for me, i dont prefer the easy wash. This is based on my experience but do not know others experience. Since the name is EASY WASH...means it is easy to dilute or easy to mix wtth water or easy wipe with water. This paint is not suitable for room with high condense or seldom open widow because the condensation with easy stick or absorbed by the paint. when this happend, i notice that the water condensation spot will appeared on the wall (spot by spot) , after long time this process happen, will cause the spot spot on the wall. Some how the easy wash is not "easy to wash", i hv tried to wash the pencil draw on the wall and it wont come out.


gd luck.

TIP:

Today i want to update about paint that for me is good for your plaster ceilling. From my experience and others, the best paint for your plaster ceiling is Jotun Paint. This is because from my study and asking, Jotun paint is less 'kapur'..so your ceiling paint is intact (without discoloring , peeling and etc). Actually, Jotun paint is the best for your whole house but bit expensive. My ceiling paint is using Jotun paint. Regret not to use Jotun paint for my wall.

gd luck.

Hi bro,

TQ TQ bro for belanja me.. . Glad to assist you.

Hi bro,

In my earlier post , i hv mention about this metal truss...hope you can find in my post. However , i just tell summary.. Trend now is metal truss for the main reason of anti termite and these metal truss long lasting. Compare to wood roof truss as i mention before. Wood roof truss is not 'long lasting'..over time it will sag or the wood will bend causing causing leaking and safety.

There are 2 type of metal truss sell nowaday, Normal GI metal truss and blue color metal truss. It was informed that the blue type is corrosive resistance higher than white type. Not many contractor or indon know how to install these metal truss. For any unexperience person, it is difficult to install these metal truss. There are 2 methods to assemble these metal truss, First Assemble on the ground then lift up to the top/roof (refer to my post earlier and picture) and secondly assembly right on the top ( this method is for experience worker/contractor). Connection between these truss steel are using screw and Jointer (L or V shape etc). If i can recall the cost for screw per piece is 8 sen. The more screw u you the stronger your structure, min 3 screw per joint.

There are 2 main component of these metal truss, the 'C' Section and the V section (batten).

C section Metal truss (if i can recall the GI type cost about without GST RM32 per piece , blue type RM42 per piece)



The batten metal (where u put the roof tile) (if i can recall about without GST RM16 per piece) :




One of the sample my roof truss, i hv many pic but tired to post..



You can have aluminium foil install on top of the roof truss or you can install aluminium plate/flashing on top of the truss (aluminium plate/flashing more expensive , if i can recall about RM18 per piece 3x8 ft but advantage stronger and can prevent thief ).

From the quotation you received, u can PM me if whether expensive or not. TQ...

very lastly...there is very very small draw back of this metal truss if not properly installed (many do not know about this) ..as it is metal , when hot or cold, the metal will stretch and shrink , when you join together , it will cause sound especially at hot whether...haha...i think you cannot avoid this horror sound of metal ...however there is solution for this if you do not want to hear it....only myself know...haha


gd luck bro.

same concept with wood and metal truss..u can step and walk on it..u can design ur path if you like..



if not properly install...its knocking sound bro... you will never know it until your roof finish install...for me no problem. metal truss is way better than wood..

if i m a contractor..i will 'drop my water face'..if i reno house using wood truss..hahaha... ..just joking...

hi bro,

this is the secret i hv not reveal yet...

Hi bro,

The advantages of laminated wood floor :

1. It is elegant and have many choice design.
2. Since it is natural wood, it soft to your heel and normally do not cause your heel crack compared to tile that can cause your heel dry and crack.
3. Some manufacture claim that can normalized your body ion, it give your body ion -ve. Eg Ionwood (google ionwood). That good to your body as it reduce your body static. Pls do not use nyatoh wood for floor cause nyatoh wood usually after some time can crack..use other wood eg Merbau , semangkuk etc. I like the ionwood product. Cause my body has a lot static..hahaha...


Disadvantages:

1. Most manufacture claim that their product is treated with anti termite and water proof and scratch proof. If you you were to buy, ask them how long the treatment and water proof /scratch can last or tahan..how many years or life time.
2. Even though the flooring is is waterproof , it is not advisable to mop it every day compared to tile.
3. Laminated floor use latch mechanism assembly, if one portion to replace, susah a bit compared to tile can replace piece by piece.

I hv already whatapp you estimated price. Also it depend on product u want to use. To change from tile to laminated floor, easy..they do not remove your tile, they just lay foam on top of your tile and assembly the wood floor.

yes..floor level will 'up' a bit..they will check first...if the door stuck..maybe need to remove the tile. They need to survey first.

Usually no need unless your floor badly uneven that lain cerita.

Forgot to mention..if you do not want all your tile removed, if your door is wood door they can potong a bit your door but if your door is plywood door then cannot potong your door.
