go for master tiles(long lasting and excellent quality) or good quality marbel. sonex tiles will fade after 5-6 years ,while the life of tiles by master is upto 25 years.

use aluminiun windows as they are good and air tight. once closed they stop rain water during storm or air in winters.

good quality Diar will cost you & RS 2400/SQFT no need to bring from Hawaliya. For paint use ICL Dulex . remember fixing marble or Tiles and for use of timber a good squad of workforce is very important and you check and get recommendation and person from the supplier. Generally they have good persons in contact.

1)
I have don’t have any experience of sonex, with recommendations of friends, I have installed Master tiles in all washrooms and very much satisfied with the quality of tiles. If you will visit Murree Road (Rawalpindi) and find Master tile dealer, they will show you huge variety of master tiles. You can select according to your taste.
Also, we used the same sanitary fittings of masters (you can check the warranty of fittings from the dealer) I believe some are for lifetime and some are for 3 years. It’s all depends on you which quality of sanitary fittings you would like to install.
2)
We have installed tiles in two kitchens, and rest of complete house, we installed the marble and very much satisfied with the decision. There is lots of marble dealer in I-10 industrial area, which them and select the marble.
3)
ICI dulux is best. For exterior use ICL weather shield.
Please note that for tile and marble fixer, try to find the best person in your area, check his work before hiring, if you will get excellent worker to fix tiles and marbles, he will make job excellent even with average material. Don’t hire any cheap worker. I have seen in my neighbour just because of 5 Rs difference of labour, the worker did very poor work, so it’s very important to select best worker for tiles and marbles if you want excellent finishing.
Same request for painter, my plaster was just average, and later I selected the best painter in our area, and he has done perfect job and hide all minor issues of plaster. He really worked hard and removed all minor defects.
I got a chance to visit both Farooq, and Shakeel near Faizabad, both have good variety but I found farooq is very much expensive. He is not dealing with master tiles but most of the Chinese made tiles. Looks great in display but not sure about warranty.
