Window shopping

Window shopping for sanitary wares has never been so tiring....coupled with prices being so confusing! Same product with a price difference of $200! We are so glad we have to go thru this only once, or at the most twice a lifetime.

Visited Lucky Khoon and Tapz Gallery as Beverly will be giving us a $1,000 voucher. One would think $1,000 can do much....but at these two places, it may land you with only a WC and a kitchen sink! That's how expensive it is!

Velin WC - one piece set (Makes cleaning easier and lesser choking)
Two ticks water efficiency, comes with a squarish flush button. Nice for MBR!
Model: B3390
Price: $588 at LK, $490 at Tapz

Lucia WC - one piece set
Two ticks water efficiency, simple flush button, a bit too small for Common bathroom
Price: $388 at LK, NA for Tapz

Common WC for common - saw at Tapz
Two ticks water efficiency, simple flush button, very comfy for Common bathroom, squarish design. Nice!
Price: NA for LK, $390 for Tapz
Found a 3 towel rack for MBR, won't post the picture up here. Just nice for 3 hanging towels, with bars above to store clean towels.
Price: $140 at LK, $110 at Tapz

Basin for MBR - White base on vanity top, black on the inside
Price: $280 for basin, $178 for mixer at LK


Guess we may settle for something like this. But it's very expensive too! Shall see how..
Price: $318 for mixer, $268 for basin at Tapz

Sugar says this tap is not a good choice though it is fun. In time to come, it will grow algae in parts difficult to maintain....and we would all be washing with "dirty" water. Good contribution.....sugar! =)

We will settle for the traditional type mixers.

Common bathroom basin - small and compact, due to limited space.
Price: $140 for basin, $55 mixer at LK
The one in the center =)

Rain shower.....wooosh! Pricey!
The one in the center....with square shower. (tallest)
Comes with mixer, and 3 way water out.
Price: $550 at LK


Shower set for common bathroom
Price: $55 at LK, still expensive!
We still have to add in bath mixer $85, mixer brackets $60 for 2. Crazy crazy crazy!

Kitchen sink.....I guess this is perhaps the only loot of the day!
Double sink at LK, basin at $580, mixer at $225.50.
Basin is undermount...take a close look =)
There will not be messy or nasty silicon at the side, which will peel over the years.
Mixer is very cool, it can move 180 degree.


This is from Tapz! Much more nicer. Single basin at $500, mixer at $200+.
We love this! Can be under-mounted too. Initially, it looks like restaurant/industrial/coffee shop....but after taking a second, third look at it, it will look nice....in a modern kitchen. What's more...it is pratical too. Can be pulled till anywhere in the basin. Of course, if the basin is not that big, then it is not much called for.

It is a very tiring day....and conclusion of this research is to buy from Royal Franco or Poh Seng. All those posted today are designer styles. Am negotiating with Beverly if I can use the voucher at RF or PS instead. It is much more cost saving.
