Hi all,

Beside the patterns, what should you consider when you choose tiles for

1) Car porch
2) Floor
3) Toilet floor & wall

1) Rough texture on the tiles so that when the car drive up to your porch it won't skid.
3) Anti slip floor tiles.

what type of tiles available for normal floor ?

Type of tiles : porcelain, homogeneous, ceramic....
Type of finish : Polished, matt, honed, textured.....

your choice btwn $$ & your preference

for car porch its advised to use heavy duty (which usually is also anti slip) tiles

normal floor, just pick a design u like..

toilet floor and wall, usually both come with same design, and its homogeneous type, non slippery, specially for toilet.

I love white horse tile.

and remember there is 2 grade of tiles, the 1st and 2nd grade. the difference is the size. 2nd grade size is not the same for all pieces of tiles, which make it harder to be installed properly, but yeah its cheaper...and the colour differ too...

bro,

Do you have a sequence in terms of price for the above list ?

for floor u use heavy duty while for wall its up to you, prices of tiles also depend on brand, if u talking about Guocera or white horse than its definately more expensive than those china mali al-cheapo quality type.

the china one quality how ?

its good if u r on budget, save a lot of cash but quality so so

how much it cost on average?

depend on size.

2' x 2'?

for 2'x2' china mari no brand one range from rm10-30.
WH/MML from rm18-40+

now all Guocera are OEM from china, quality so so

go check the Niro tile, alto their 2'x2' also from china factory, but the quality is

besides choices of tiles, pls ensure your hire expert tile installer!! get young contractor and make sure they use good equipements (eg diamond cutter, etc).

if their workers are >40 years old, I WILL REJECT THEM EVEN IF IT IS FREE!!

i thought older guys more experience?

they say when u reach 40, u will have "flowery eyes '

i regreted that i chose dark colour tiles, a lot of maintenance to keep it clean, the dust is very visible.
however, once clean, it does look good

i just did my flooring at my new place. bought 2x2 tiles from super ceramic. Made in China. The sales person told me that china made tiles are actually better than the local made ones and its also more expensive than local made tiles.

this is not true.
u go to 10 shops, 10 shops would tell u different things (which obviously the ones they are selling is of better grade).
the most important is the Quality Control. places of manufacture is not important.

Good QC China Tiles > Bad QC Tiles from anywhere else
