well we are depending contractor to advise us because we dont have such knowledge.. contractor did not informed or ask us opinion so everything its too late when noticed , jus like my wall.. never suggest or gave option skim or not.. so now wall all mostly uneven
*
i know..most of us tend to assume the contractor will do thiiis n that coz its common sense..lol but i realized our common sense might differ from their common sense,so its best to state exactly how we want things done..its a thin line to thread upon tho,some ppl so kecil hati then think ur trying to teach them how to work..sigh

I think this two were the least problem that given to me. But I heard another brand from Siam also quite good from my colleague.

ooh i actually thought of installing laminated flooring,but that time contractor already prepped the floor for tiling,so maybe in a few years time hehe..
you said gave you the least problems,does that mean you installed both brands in your hse?

Not my house, my client house. I have been tried every brand that I can find the market because some customer have rather " budgeted " in some case. So at the end, I used only two brand for all my client which create the least problem for me (time is essential for us, if there is 2nd trip to fixed - we end up loss money). If their looking for cheapest, I usually don't give warranty.

So if you the competitor flooring brand saying I am a bit of hypocrite that only sell 2 brand. Well if you didn't buy from china, I might test your quality.

oh icic.nope im not a competitor..hehe...if get innovar/robina from you,might as well we go straight to the outlet rite?

Hi Bro Cuirious,

Cost persf is 5-10% difference between outlet and installer. Anyhow outlet still appoint installer to perform the jobs. Warranty by installer is only on workmanship defect for a year. Products warranty still remains the same from manufacturer of laminated board meaning owner still can claim direct to outlet for those warranty relating to anti termite or colour fading

*
so it means if i get direct from X,they charge for the product then separately for installation.whereas if i go to an installer,he charges me product+installation.did i get it right?

*
why not joinned properly?so you ask him when can join properly?but i think its coz installation was not done properly

It literally means if you go direct to installer, you will save the extra mark-up margin by outlet..still get the same product, just that workmanship warranty by installer instead of them..that margin is like handling and administration fee lorr

I dont mind buying direct from installer so as long as the product warranty is still with manufaturer..same thing like buying electrical household also what..regardless who is the distributor..end warranty still go to manufacturer..
*
owh ic...if got product warranty from manufacturer,ii don't mind who installs too hehe

Yupp, agreed..but have to take precaution on who the installer is as well..i am going to get a few contacts from the salesman himself of those preffered installer..at the moment, communicating with one contact from website since he is doing innovar,robina and kcc(vinyl)
*
i think there is a guy in this forum who does installation..from his comments,it looks like he's quite experienced.maybe u can ;look him up in the laminated/timber flooring thread

since got 1 year warranty on the workmanship,u use for a few months then if problem persists u revert to johnny123 (the contractor).for in case he delays response to u,maybe u shud revert back to him after one/two months.might be because the cement floor beneath it not even

Noted, but probably will only be end Oct or Early Nov..might only start in mid Sept if the tenat shift out by then..my sub sale took 2 years till vacant possession..being considerate in view of the puasa month and Hari Raya, let the tenant to stay until end of this month..ex owner request for extension

2 years!!mine oso....experienced before too:first puasa lah,then kenduri kahwin anak,then anak mkau lahir anak..lol so after so long got fed up n put the foot down...can only be nice to a certain limit...tenant is the ex-owner?wonder why some people still wanna stay on for so long after selling off the property...

No, it is ex owner's tenant..did told him to inform tenant to get prepared to shift last May since already manage to get state consent but usual lar..dilly dally..lawyer also one kind..actually agent's lawyer, like siding the vendor..but after waiting so long, i dont mind waiting another month or two..just that a renovator that I have been keeping in touch since last two years is free at the moment..so I wanna make sure he take up my job..renovator a sifu himself with 3 worker..he did one of the house in same area, seen his workmanship though not perfect but acceptable to my eyes, good enough..so making sure I dont miss the chance

yes,good renovator is important..since he liase with you for 2 years,i guess there'd be less miscommunication..

yes the workmanship is kinda bad .. my wall many part kena damage quite badly.. the only worker who does the neat work is the plaster ceiling guy.. the rest jus main hantam

but since all the delay till now.. my job are almost 70% done after numerous complaining n yelling.. now jus missing a aircorn (which is paid and reschedule almost 5x for installation but never arrived).  also kitchen cabinet still no sign of installing. ( initial installation date is July 26).. also dont know weather he got  order or not

now i jus want it to complete asap i have no energy to complain about the workmanship or asking him already. if tomorow still no news for kitchen cabinet i guess better i reappoint another kitchen cabinet company to do.. mayb can still get install faster..

sometime i dont understand why these ppl dare to advertised so loud and write so many good things about themselves in the forum but end of the day the jus make thier reputation bad after all the bad feedback fr ppl appointed them
*
the walls look ok from the pictures...omg u got do any tiling work?if main hantam with tilles,outcome will be a real eyesore.aircond also buy through contractor?aiyah why din juz go harvey norman n buy or sth...
those ppl advertise so loudly so can con ppl mah..need to con more before unsatisfied customers cry foul...then maybe after that just shut down current company and open a new company

One of those multifaceted mirrors would give an interesting look rather than a plain old mirror.

Perhaps you can rearrange that dining table so it runs parallel to that huge canvas of a wall when you hang your mirror.

nice mirror...can buy it ready made?or need to custom make it with those frames shops?
