User Guide for Vinyl Strip Flooring

Vinyl strip flooring is designed to have variations in wood grain and colour which lends beauty and warmth to the home decor.
Home owners can enjoy a flooring that is comfortable to walk on and has good slip and moisture resistance. Though vinyl strip flooring looks and feels like timber floor, it is easy to clean and maintain.

Do's
1. Regularly sweep, vacuum or dust mop the floor. Damp mop using water/neutral detergent as needed to remove dirt and stains.

2. Remove all spillages as soon as possible, and rinse with clean water.

3. For removal of stubborn stains, use a small amount of household dishwashing detergent that is water based. Rub with a non-abrasive sponge pad to loosen the stain, rinse with clean water and allow to dry.
4.
Install soft paddings to furniture legs to protect the floor from scratches.

5. Provide protective mats under rolling chairs.

6. Provide entry mats at entrance doors. Use mats with non-staining backing.
Use window coverings to protect the floor from direct sunlight.

Don'ts
1. Do not use bleach based detergent and abrasive cleaning product, as it may damage the surface or alter the appearance of the floor.

2. Avoid placing cigarettes and other hot objects on the floor as surface damage may occur.

3. Do not drag heavy furniture, appliances and fixtures directly across the floor.

4. Use protective coverings to prevent scratch marks.

5. Avoid using metal or razor scrapers to remove dirt, residue or other marks on the floor. Sharp objects will damage the floor's protective wear layer.

Many Feng Shui Masters are a Feng Shui Store in disguise!

Always ask: "Must I buy from you?"

Units categorized as Good, Bad, and Ugly.

1. Keep in mind that while a geomancer may deem this development favorable, the quality of a unit also relies on its specific location within the development.

 

2. Is your potential unit under the Good, the Bad or the Ugly?

3. Consider this scenario: the unit resembles a dilapidated 1,000 cc car that has seen better days. Not even a skilled Feng Shui Master could transform it into a desirable unit!

3.1. By the way, (above) this falls under Habit Number 11.

4. Under Habit 1, one possibility is by ranking one's bedroom type by stack/unit: 1st choice, 2nd choice etc...

Here’s a concise summary of the main points from this page:

🔑 Key Takeaways – HDB Toa Payoh Kim Keat Beacon BTO (Launched May 2018)

• Sales & Timeline

  • Brochure and floor plans were released in 2018.

  • Lease commencement expected around 2023.

• Kitchen Layout & Feng Shui

  • Avoid stove directly facing the sink.

  • Side-by-side stove and sink is acceptable with at least 30cm separation.

  • Kitchens located in the Northwest (NW) sector are considered inauspicious (“Fire at Heaven’s Gate”), potentially affecting the male breadwinner’s luck and career.

  • Specific stacks flagged: #562, #534, #546.

• External Environment & Site Planning

  • PIE slip road curves inward, but planners buffered with a 4-storey car park and park.

  • Compared favorably to Tampines GreenVines, which had weaker planning.

• Units to Avoid

  • Low-level stacks facing the Precinct Pavilion (#530, #532, #538, #540, #564) due to wakes/funerals held there.

  • Units near the Electrical Sub-Station (ESS) (#556, #558 low floors) – considered taboo even if not scientifically proven.

  • Stack #540 has direct view of rubbish bins.

• Flying Star Feng Shui

  • Development falls under Period 8 Feng Shui.

  • Most stacks face N2 or S2 orientations.

• Case Studies & Nuance

  • Effects of NW kitchens vary depending on breadwinner’s Ba Zi chart and household conditions.

  • Some families may not feel negative impact, while others could face career or financial setbacks.

  • Solutions require full Feng Shui audits; outcomes are not one-size-fits-all.

• General Advice

  • Evaluate suitability of unit for breadwinner and family.

  • Consider auspicious sectors, Flying Star charts, and practical remedies.

  • Be cautious of over-commercialized Feng Shui “masters” selling products.

In essence, the review highlights both planning strengths (buffering against roads, thoughtful site layout) and Feng Shui cautions (NW kitchens, proximity to pavilions or ESS). The “Fire at Heaven’s Gate” issue is emphasized as a major consideration for buyers.
