Hdb main door

[Hosaybo]

As long as the stairs is within a certain distance to your door (think 2m), fire rated is a requirement so that any burning to your house can be delayed to give enough time for people to escape thru the stairs.

 

Ever asked hdb to confirm for my door and guess what, the guy just simply refuse and asked to refer to guideline and confirm yourself. He simply refuse to confirm anything in black and white.

i am not sure if fire rated doors is really a HDB requirement anymore.

 

A couple of years ago, my parent's flat did HIP and one of the optional item is to change the wooden front door. I don't think they are fire rated because it costs only $100+ and it is hollow. My parent's flat is just next to the staircase. IIRC, the HDB HIP contractor said that there is no longer a fire rated front door requirement.

Hi Bros. Can anyone can recommend a good contractor to replace the HDB main door & wrought iron gate? I am looking at a single contractor to do both so there will not be an arguement of mismatch.

 

Not sure if Fire Rated door is needed as my unit is not immediately next to stairways. I read some stating it costs around $1600 each

Be wary of those that praised themselves till sky high.

 

Which area do u stay?

 

Can go to Yontat at Eunos or Yi Seng at AMK.

 

I am in this line.

 

while it is still early days before my in law BTO unit arrives, may I know is there a way to buy ala cart style.

 

Buy door and flooring works separtely rather then have a contractor do the full works as some of the items that the contractor carry may not be to the same liking.

 

I am getting a basic unit without the toilet, kitchen walls and flooring.

 

I suppose many find that an easiest route would be to ask HDB equipe with everything

I didn't know HDB got cater to such things ... AFAIK they give you one standard list to "choose" from only ... and the list is very short.

 

as with most things, one supplier will be able to give you a better price than separate suppliers ... like in the case of my sliding windows ... my reno contractor only charge me half of what individual supplier quoted me !

 

reno is big business and you should go around hunting for the bestest PACKAGE ... I asked about 8 contractors when I did my reno previously.

thanks.

 

My to do list right now is glass partition to separate the kitchen as I did not want to have a brick wall.

 

I also wanted to have a better toilet system.

 

I looking at probably marble floor than ceramic tiles.

 

So I selected the bare basic.

touch wood ... but would you want to consider Perspex instead of glass ??

 

you know ... many cases of even tempered glass shattering for no reason ...

 

my 3rm hdb flat also got no wall between living room and kitchen ... but I cook very little so the smell/smoke is still controllable.

 

I initially wanted to do a sliding wall between but gave up the idea as none of the contractors I approached could do what I wanted.

of course can, but you have to manage each of the contractors yourself, which was what we did for our house reno.

My plan is to have glass sliding door for both toilet and kitchen.

 

My Office contractor has installed the tempered glass partition in the pantry area. Maybe its also installed with a Orange thick sticker and hence the multiple trolley bump from the drinks contractor still intact after 4 years.

Something like this

[Sotong1977]

No one will bother to check. I see many ppl change the shelter door to plastic/wooden ones. Regulation also says cannot change.

Shelters in hdb flat is a joke. Lock oneself inside during a bomb raid is akin to stepping into ones own tomb. What is the odd of a hdb flat standing after a bomb raid?

You no need to inform hdb when you change the bomb shelter door?
