    • RE: Wang Learning Centre 汪老師 - Discussion

      I have the same query too! Want to switch DS to Wang next year for P5 as I find the compo in Berries is lacking. He will be doing High Chinese in P5. But I am worried that he might not be able to cope with the intense flow in Wang (planning to do the 3hr class). Hope to hear feedback from other parents who have done the switch.

    • RE: Invisible Grille

      Hi everyone,


      This is the first time I post comment regarding renovation contractor in the forum. The quality, workmanship and after sale service of Legate is so bad that I taught I have to share it with those who are planning to install invisible grille.

      We have our invisible grille installed by Legate about 3 years ago. Our place is over 2000sqft, and we had the grille installed throughout the house, ie balcony, 3 bedrooms, kitchen, and dining. We live in an old apartment and had a full renovation done when we bought the place, all the windows are all from wall to wall, so it was quite a big project.

      We felt the workmanship is rather average. We had 3 castment window installed so that we can access the aircon compressors. The paint work and finishing are rather substandard compare to the new window that we installed throughtout the house. Anyhow, we didnt complain about it, but just thought we should have done our homework better before engaging them.

      Few months back, I started to noticed that a lot of white vinyl coating that encase the wiring started to peel off and expose the stainsteel wire (I think thats what the wiring is made off), then I ran a check on all the wiring, I think about 30% of the wiring are affected, especially those facing the morning sun. I also noticed that the paint on one the casement window has came off very badly, and most parts are rusty espcecially the hinges and the lock. The locks in 2 out of the 3 window are no longer working so we have to use tiewrap to secure the window.

      I called up Legate, and asked them to rectify the problems as it was still under warranty (warranty period was 3 years). They explained that the peeling of the coating was due to the heat from the sun. But I find it rather unacceptable as the material should be weather proof to start with. And the condition has deteriorated so much, so quickly in such a short time. After many phone calls and weeks of waiting, they finally sent someone to inspect the grille and casement windows, and took photographs. Then it was another few weeks of silence. My husband said it was ok not to fix the coating, as it will be a big job to change most of the wiring, but the rust and lock on the casement window had to be fixed for safety reason.

      We called many times, they promised to look into it, no reply and no news. We have given up as the warranty has already expired.

      Please consider carefully before getting your invisible grille.
