Not the cheapest, but quality wise so far ok. The lady is helpful.

Simen? you mean cement right?

If the level are very low, you need to raised the floor to desire level with cement. After Cement dry than lay tiles + cement.

My house, the wet and dry kitchen was very low (drop 6"), contractor put cement + sand and wait few days, only put tiles + cement.

The extended living hall, broken marble was installed without putting cement + sand earlier. Because is only 1.5" low, contractor do everything in one goal.

If your current floor is very low cement + sand to raised it, and wait few days only lay tiles + cement.

And how do you find out is 2nd Grade?

Grade 1 can also be old tiles. And some Tiles manufacture will downgrade the existing tiles from Grade 1 to Grade 2 if put in stock for too long because color fade.

Don't think it will pop up, color maybe fade.

Jalan Ipoh, 1/2 the tiles shop belong to Super Ceramic

Bigger pieces are more costly. Even installation is also more expensive for 2x2. E.g. my contractor quote me RM 4.8 /sqft for all material except tiles to install a 2x2. and RM 1 less for smaller tiles. This is already consider cheap because its part of the renovation bundle. And the sifu is a very experience Chinese uncle.

But I think Feruni is difference, you can ask them cut into smaller tiles and that will need make the smaller tiles more expensive.

01) Grade A vs Grade B
02) Color fade, so downgrade to Grade B
03) Over production
04) Left over from project
05) Common
06) Outdated
07) Reject.

Most of the shop i go will inform me if its Grade 1 or 2 (A/B).

I don't know about other I survey a number of tiles shop. Last I went to Super Ceramic @ 222 to purchase most of my tiles except kitchen floor tiles. So far find the service is reasonable. Price is also reasonable.

If you don't put BRC, your floor will sink. Is even faster if you drive huge heavy car or truck.

Maybe is not good to put "sink" only. Is actually is called RC, not BRC. It make the concrete better support tensile strength and sudden change in stress (load). Without RC, and with soft soil it will crack and sink down.

Thing expensive already. Grade B some time not symmetric and don't look nice.

If is too good to be true, than is not true.

If RM 2.5 per Sqft, and a 2x2 will be RM 10. If that is the case possible but don't expect good color, finishing and nice looking.

If budget about RM 15 to RM 20 for a 2x2 can open up a wide variety.

Ask fir detail, maybe is lump sum.

Some grade 2 thickness are not even, some cutting are not symmetrical.

Some grade 2 are because in store too long color fade and the downgrade to grade 2.

What grade?

2x2 or 800mm x 800mm installation are always higher than 1x1 or 1x2

Added on March 5, 2012, 10:34 amAll things like laying tiles on steps, table top, and like raised level (for shower area), and mosaic are sometime charge difference or lump sump.

Even if you want special design on the parking porch it may charge difference (like in center make a star).

You can buy cheap or grade B 2x2 too.

After looking at many brand and model, I don't think White horse is expensive. They are in mid range. Wait till you see Niro, Feruni, and there another brand can't remember is more expensive than Feruni.

Even grade A, have variance, some can go up to 5%, Niro have better control, the claim their product for grade A max variance is 3%
