They are all over the starting stretch of Balestier Road but we walked into LSH (Lian Seng Hin) mainly because it was the first corner unit we chanced upon after parking the car. The crowd within the shop was also a draw as it could possibly spell...CHEAP & GOOD. hehehe. After spending about 30 minutes or so inside, SN and walked away with some sample tiles which we thought could give our contractor an idea of what we want.
Hold-and-be-hold, Mr. Ho; the contractor appointed by HDB, told us the next day that they do not take tiles supply from LSH. Their tiles supplier is Hafary. Argggg...wasted trip into LSH then. In actual fact, we did see Hafary and some other tiles company next to LSH at Balestier. Just that the showrooms looked kinda intimidating to us. They were more posh looking then LSH and there were hardly any patrons in the showroom.
Fortunately, Hafary is open on Sunday till 5pm. So SN and I made another trip down to select our tiles. Here's what we have selected. However, everything is still very much preliminary as the final decision will be dependent on how much we need to top-up for these tiles. What's not in the picture is the main 600mm x 600mm white floor tile which SN hoped to replace on the 200mm x 200mm that HDB will be providing. We have been advised that bigger tiles will be easier to maintain as there will be lesser lines, plus it looks better.
