QUOTE(wyk85 @ Aug 22 2015, 12:33 AM) Hi all sifu, May I know is there a way to clean the tiles other than using water? I have bought a subsale house where the ex-owner have lay tiles at the car porch previously. Tiles is those rough type (for car porch) The tiles looks kind of old-ish (dirty/black/dirt) but still in good condition (no crack, etc). Is it possible for me to clean it/restore it (around 70%-80% new)? Reason is I wish to save the renovation cost and skip the tiling work for my car porch. Thanks  I think u can buy Davco cleaner from hardware shop

QUOTE(shepherddream @ Sep 4 2015, 10:05 AM) few years back my current house renovation, whole house using MML and the quality is very good. Now i going to have renovation for new house again, and this time i notice MML tiles range like lesser a lot. So i try to see niro and guocera and notice they have more range. My contractor told me don't use floor tiles (porcelain) to do wall as it is very hard to drill and it tends to popup easily (due to its density is high). so ask me choose ceramic wall tiles for wall, but it is fine to choose porcelain for floor. does anyone notice about this? between guocera vs mml which one better? never did such insight......mine is more gut feel for the design/look i want to create

MML is better. Drilling is a problem if the tile is too hard especially for wall. I am sure you will need fixture or fitting on wall, so is something to consider clearly.

I'm doing the tile work for my wet kitchen for only about 30 sq ft. The contractor has charged me rm900 for the wall including the tiles I choose at rm3. I understand this is very little work involved and they charged me rm30/sq ft. Is the price reasonable? Please advice

Ok he agreed to charge me RM600 to hack and replace with new tiles I bought myself, which is at least cheaper than the current guy and I understand it's a bit higher psf because it's a small job. Thanks 1205 you just saved me a bit of money! I hope he'll do a good job. Have a fantastic day internet stranger
