Hi all,

My contractor is doing wall tiles installation for me.
The size is about 50sqft. He is charging RM10 per sqft for installation.
The tile size is about (300mm x 600mm)
Not including tiles.

Is it reasonable?
Thanks.

For 50sqft, it's quite reasonable. Unless you're doing more, the price can be cheaper.

Total cost is RM 500.00?
Then you see how many workers come for how many days. Assume RM 100.00 per day per worker as their wages.
Then roughly you know is it reasonable or not.

Thanks!

Awww... too bad, I was eager to check it out until I saw this. My budget is tight.

Currently contemplating on resurfacing some 700sq ft of floor space. Right now, tiling looks more attractive to me as an option to laminated wood (idiot proof, can hack the floor to reroute wiring & install conduit for subwoofer & AV rear speake cables).

I'm looking for 2x2 tiles for under RM17/pc. Anyplace to recommend...?

Also, I was told by the Super Ceramic guys in Puchong to specifically instruct my contractor not to use regular cement for tiling jobs because regular cement will lose adhesion after several years and cause the tile to lift away from the cement. This is why some tiles produce a hollow sound after a while. He said, especially in the case of tiled kitchen counter tops and porcelain tiles, a latex + tiling cement (special tile adhesive) mix must be used.

I dunno, but I can totally relate to what he said about the hollow sound that some tiles make - one of the 2x2 tiles on my current kitchen counter made that sound just before it cracked. Now I understand it's due to poor adhesion of the tile to the cement. When it no longer sticks to the cement, the gap between the tile and the cement is what makes that hollow sound. Then as more of the tile comes off the cement, if you keep stepping on it, eventually the tile will crack because of that gap.

What do you guys think? Latex + tile adhesive - is this sound advice?

Do you guys put wall tiles before install cooking hood or kitchen wall cabinets ?

Hi All,

Just to check, Any idea i can get this White Colour Tiles in the market.



Thanks

From my knowledge Nippon has a system which lets you paint a sort of primer over existing tiles, then two layers of paint to finish. Bear in mind that any texture/structure or existing cracks or imperfection due to wear and tear, even the minor ones, will still be visible even after you painted it. But you have the freedom to mix the paint colour you want. Since this is a system, and usually warranty comes with them, it is more advisable to get them to supply and install, otherwise if you decided to apply it yourself, the warranty may be void.
