since renovation began on 20 October, we had spent the past few weekends in various furniture malls and hardware stores scouting for bargains and best deal to furnish the new place. today however, we packed our lunch and picnic mats and head off to site.
we are waiting for sale reps from different company that supply invisible grilles to give us a quote to have the grilles installed at living room, study and the 3 bedrooms.
it's not difficult to track them. after all, with a search on google, there's only currently 3 companies doing it in Singapore.
1. Invisys Technology Pte Ltd
2. Invisible Grille
3. Le Gate
same window measurements but 3 different companies 3 different prices that ranges between SGD11-12psf.
the only sale rep that came prepared with his mock up grilles and various materials. no hard sale, not pushy. did his work and left. the only company that follow up with a black/white quotation after the meet up.
came with a bunch of wires and some nuts/bolts. prices quoted was the most expensive yet insisted their material is the best, price difference will not be too great between their competitors...etc etc. showroom/office doesnt seems to operate on weekend. calls to the office were directed to a mobile.
the only locally established company. cant believed the sale rep came empty-handed because her previous client taken her samples and she doesnt have any extra in her car. only picture catalogue for reference when such info can be easily obtained from their website. patiently took measurements for all 3 bedrooms despite telling her the window sizes are the same. offered to drop by again with her gears and wares.
all 3 companies gave a warranty period of 3yrs for normal wear & tear and claimed that they uses only 316 grade stainless steel.
regret i'm not in position to reveal the amount each company quoted. but do stay tuned... installation is tentatively scheduled on 15 November 2011.
window grilles - down. one more very important item left to buy.
