Aldi PM u the location.
Actually if u deal with cabinet contractor, easiet way is bring him to your new house.
So he can direct measure exact dimensions and give u the 3D design and quotation on the spot.

By the way, I'm MALE~~~
Some1 PM me n call me MISS ERNY.....

This is the famous colour right now, many ppls choose this colour.

1st time I heard ppl wan to change cabinet's colour...
Maybe is not that easy.. even though it is 3G door. After u change the colour, the 3G door also will not look nice anymore.
Good luck~
Cheers!

Ya, especally with free aluminium frame and free bar handle. haha!
u can choose to put the stripe in horizontal or vertical way.
When u put it in horizontal, u can feel your cabinet look wider and modern.
when u put it in vertical, u can feel your cabinet look taller and classic.

Actually this is very practical way since it is easier to clean up compare to painted wall.
Many ppl prefer to mix this small tiles with 1x2 tiles.

Ya, for those cook often, bigger tiles of course better.
My kitchen also use big tiles.
Small mosaic too expensive for me..

This small mosaic for 10ft x 2.5ft is around 1k...
Now the new type is the tile's size is 10 inch x 8 inch. But the surface of the tile look excatly like many small mosaic on it.
This kind of tiles for 10ft x 2.5ft aound rm600-700.

That is total price, just pay 1k and the mosaic will be on your wall.
For the small mosaic, 1ft x 1ft i think around rm18-20..plus the tiling work fee..So total need 1k for 10ft x 2.5ft.
Erm....for 10 inch x 8 inch, how much per piece i don't know, never ask before. But cheaper and easier to install. That's why the total price is cheaper. Like Jchong said:"bigger tile, less groove line, easier to clean"

Ya lo, rm20 psf tiling workmanship if u employ chinese worker. For indonesian is cheaper. But not everyone prefer indonesian's work.

Many people plan to choose tiles for their countertop, but most people do not realize that concrete is porous. In fact, more porous than Swiss cheese! The pores constitute 12 to 18% of the concrete but the pores are invisible, much smaller that human hair. After concrete is poured, almost a half of the water has to evaporate. As this surplus water pushes to the surface, it leaves behind a network of capillaries (pores) inside the concrete.

The pores are much larger than water molecules. Water vapor or gases flow easily right through, drawn in by the lower pressure inside buildings. But liquid water is initially held back by its surface tension, as the glob of water gets stuck inside the microscopic dry pore. However, as water enlarges the pores or they get wet by condensation, water starts seeping in. And eventually, the pores start actively pulling in water by capillary action.

Concrete blocks, particularly cinder blocks, are more permeable to water vapor than poured concrete. They all start as impermeable to liquid water but, when exposed to water, their porosity increases and they start seeping water.

2 to 3 years later, if you are using 2x2 tiles, the problem above may occur.
You can choose smaller tiles to avoid this problem. Anyway, granite still will be the best choice for now.

Concrete has porous becoz the water in there evapurate after sometime, therefore porous forming inside the concrete. This make the concrete become weaker and weaker. The problem is your tiles will start losing the bonding within the concrete.

Granite consist porous but this is the natural product, all kind of stones absorb water but not really fast. For example, u put a few drops of water on it, then come back later and wipe the area. If the area is darker then the rest of your granite it means that it has adsorbed some of the water rendering it porous. But even granite consist porous within it, but u will have no problem with this porous because normally people using water to clean it and immediately dry it up. Unless u pour black oil on white granite and leave it for few hours, then u are in problem..

Ok bro, I will remind him. sorry to keep u waiting.
Have a nice day!

U mean u cause the circle on tile and it can't be removed? Are u put the glass there for few years?
I think it will not have any effect on this, it is a hard nature stone.
Even u pour a glass of water on tile or granite, but u clean it in few minutes, it will not have any issue.

Some others projects for sharing~

Hehe, thanks!
That's all my brother's projects, so I don't know the exact price..

Currently i work as structure design engineer, but i prefer architecture field...more to design..sigh~..

Ya, I already PM u.
Have a nice day!

Bro,

Not rm170 psf, is rm170 pfr ..so equal to rm85 psf. (I think i misundertood what my brother told me last time, did I tell u psf or pfr?)
Cabinet factory need to manufacture the granite like polish, make hole, edge finishing, and transport, install....
rm85 psf.

Granite factory offer rm45 psf...very easy, just cut the size u wan. How much do u think u need to employ ppl to do manufacture the granite like polish, make hole, edge finishing, and transport, install....

U should compare the price within cabinet factory or showroom. then u wil know the final price.

If later someone ask me granite at mountain there is free of charge, why cabinet factory sell rm85 psf..then I really don't know how to answer. Haha! (just kidding, don't angry~ )

Anyway, have a nice day!
