QUOTE(TTCHIN @ Jan 9 2017, 10:30 AM) depend on your quality requirement any contractor can recommend? i did notice chinese sifu (prefer uncle age 50++) will do works more proper like balancing, materials advice & more long-lasting. my house backyard has been done by chinese sifu more than 10years now, no crack, no defect. My neighbor backyard wall has been 5 years+ & now starting cracked line happen, it done by yonger chinese sifi (age around 40). Indo sifu maybe for small portion and minus works can consider, for total contract sum more then 10k then you should consider chinese sifu. |

Super Budget - China Tiles for Wall and non-wet areasBudget - White Horse Medium - Goucera High - MML / Niro Granite The price and quality matches. U can see the difference when you go into the shop respective showroom. The difference is the density, finishing and thickness. Hence the outcome quality is big difference. Most of the medium and high end type has many different designs that cater to your taste. Only porch u need to get a higher loading for your vehicles worry it will crack. Other than that no issues. Just don't use super budget ones from china to put on the floor. If crack very troublesome. |

Only porch is different, others all can be the same for flooring. For wall, any material of tiles can be used. I only used 1 brand for the whole house, just different design.Some even use the same material for all flooring including porch. |

For both new house and subsale, to me most important is cover the basics first, e.g electrical,water pipe and LEAKAGE. Test your electrical and water before doing anything. If u got water leak or electrical load is not sufficient, it is important to replace them first before doing anything to cover the walls or floors.because once u lay ur tiles and repaint them and find out this later, u need to whack the tiles and redo, then repaint. waste of $ Don't think new house handed by developer won't have such issues. Later when u do everything only u realise got these problem is too late |

Guys, I wanna ask. Is it possible for us to paint the tiles that already installed? I watched a lot of Youtube videos and see many of them painted their bathroom. Not only coast effective but easy to do it.
Any advice from sifus?? Thanks |

Feruni has been mentioned in this forum before so went to check out the Petaling Jaya shop yesterday.
One thing I like about the joint is the fact they have multiple showcase setups in their sprawling gallery showing how the tiles would look like with various fittings and furniture thrown in. Once you have chosen the tiles you want, Feruni will offer you 3D drawings to show you how the tiles would look with various items thrown together. It's a free service, I was told. They have tiles from China, Spain and Italy, so lots of choices to see. But then too many choices sometimes can be confusing and makes it even harder to choose. In the final analysis, it's better to have more options than less. Was surprised to see company founder and MD Datuk CC Ngei attending to me....at first i thought he was one of the workers there.....Pleasant, humble chap and no airs about him.

QUOTE(Jeremy84 @ Feb 7 2017, 01:59 PM) I wont say cheap. Theres enuf product diversity to cater to those looking for quality tiles at reasonable prices. for those with deeper pockets looking for higher end/unusual/Euro products, Feruni also caters to them. No nego, prices are fixed.At end of day, you get what you pay more. |

Hi,
Please advise what is current market price for tiling work (include all materials to cement and labor, I buy own tiles 1x1) for flooring. I have tried hard to search such info over the internet, no good luck at all. Many Thanks. |
