Does it have a different texture as well ?<br /><br />2) The wall paint in the living room, what shade is it ? I really like it but I haven't been able to match it up in both Asian paints and Dulux.<br /><br />Thanks.<br />Priya<br />Priyahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03004807490923800748noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5950547958579509377.post-84070989721405238202014-07-30T17:10:17.742+05:302014-07-30T17:10:17.742+05:30Its in Duco Paint - It is the same paint as the on...Its in Duco Paint - It is the same paint as the one used for painting cars, hence wash-ability and life is not an issue.<br /><br />Rgds<br />NMNandita Manwanihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01263662940770974787noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5950547958579509377.post-89999588000569902402014-07-25T14:04:15.744+05:302014-07-25T14:04:15.744+05:30Hi Nandita,

What material is used for the bookshelf?<br />It looks like its been painted. Is it easy to maintain such furniture, like wipping it with wet cloth? Will the paint cause any yellowing or chipping in the long run? I request you to throw some light in this regard. <br /><br />Thanks,<br />DittuDitunoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5950547958579509377.post-89131717532517461212014-03-24T13:43:00.891+05:302014-03-24T13:43:00.891+05:30Thanks Rajesh - All the 3 wood options you mention...Thanks Rajesh - All the 3 wood options you mentioned are fine...the decision needs only to be based on your budget.

I have been scouting around for information regarding which wood to use for my windows (House under construction). I have performed a search on your site and found a few - one that mentioned UPVC (please guide me if I have missed a posting on this). However if I were to go in for wood, is there any that you would recommend? A google search indicates Sal, Teak or Shisham. Am unable to decide. <br />Thanks in advance.<br />Warm regards,<br />RajeshAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12914728967011803079noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5950547958579509377.post-35547648242438900892014-03-10T11:18:58.615+05:302014-03-10T11:18:58.615+05:30Its Engineered Solid Surface (Corian in layman'...Its Engineered Solid Surface (Corian in layman's terms)<br /><br />Rgds<br />NMNandita Manwanihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01263662940770974787noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5950547958579509377.post-89695681807941159092014-03-05T16:39:53.714+05:302014-03-05T16:39:53.714+05:30Hi Nandita,

If you are constructing you own house then broadly multiply the built up area by 1.2 to get the super built up area. For interior estimates the same thumbrule of 800 X super built up area will then apply (http://www.homedesignbangalore.com/2013/11/home-interiors-thumbrules-for-costing.html)<br /><br />Rgds<br />NMNandita Manwanihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01263662940770974787noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5950547958579509377.post-18166780288616554952014-02-05T02:55:41.363+05:302014-02-05T02:55:41.363+05:30Great work Nandita.
