Hi,

just wondering if anyone here know how to make those tiles (stairs) not that hard / sharp ?
i heard we can get someone over to make it "round" at the side so that people wont get hurt easily when accidentally kick on them...

any advise ?
or can we do it manually ?

if u decide to grind/sand it, do bear in mind that the corner will appear brownish if the tile is not a porcelain tile.

U just need those circular disc grinder machine with coarse and thin sand paper.

other wise, you can always stick those rubber corner guard for the whole stretch for the stairs tongue.gif.

If porcelain tile then your grinding will look fine.

Oh ya, when you are doing the grinding, just use a vacuum cleaner nearby to suck in the dust so that it doesn't fly everywhere, especially the wall.

my contact is the main con. wont advise to call just to get a small thing done. suggest you get a tile person directly to help, or if your neighbours doin reno, ask their workers to 'help' abit - pay them of coz. i dont think it will take too long to do.

If you got a grinder, you can DIY. If you don't have a grinder, you can get it as low as rm50 at anywhere, carrefour, hardware shop, etc.

At most will be uneven, won't grind until tile crack or broken lah.

Use sandpaper instead of those diamond grinder disc haha.
