Grade A bro...I ask the fella to show me the box...and its Grade A...but i think they are clearing the stock i guess.

The cost does not depend on whether the tile is laid horizontally or vertically.
I know the horizontal pattern is more popular these days.
It depends on the size of the tiles, whether they are 8x10, 10x16, 12x24, etc. Of course the bigger the higher the cost, as smaller tiles are easier to lay.

hmm, maybe you are right about the horizon/vertical layout. but i've heard this from two sources of tiler that horizontal arrangement requires more skill. i have no stand on this since im not a tiler myself.

but bigger tiles costs much more to tile that i agree.

Cost should be the same. The main difference is the skill.
Different si-fu can charge same or different price since there is no standard price but different people has different skill level, work ethics and experience. Result will really depend on your luck.

All sifu here, i'm newbies here..

Hi!
Anybody can recommend good tiler with good price and good workmanship?
Pls PM. Thx!

Hi, I intend to remove parquet and lay with ceramic tiles for 3 bedrooms and staircase. House size is 20x65.

Any good tiler to recommend?

For those who experience, do you know how much would it cost, excluding tiles.

Thanks.

Why would you want to do that? Tiles get very cold and not suitable for bedroom especially when there's AC. You get cold hard feet when waking up on tiles. Get laminated flooring instead. Price wise not much difference.

Just a noob question here... i noticed some of the tiles in the house are having this hollow sounds, is this due to the contractor "tricks" of cutting cost and cheating? or due to the quality of the tiles themselves.

Besides that, for this kind of condition, will re-laying the tiles make any difference?

hope to get some replies. Thank you.

Hi guys.. know any place have great price for Niro tiles?

Anyone know estimate cost & labour charge on placing tile at car porch? Size estimate 21' x 22'.

usually..it's around rm4-5psf for 1x2 and 2x2 tiles..so juz manually multiply ur area

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

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

tq kuchingfight & weikee advice.

Normally what tiles you all choose for those under concrete table? Those which is "hidden"...

1x1 white tile

You can buy cheap or grade B 2x2 too.

Was told, allow for RM5/ft2 exclude tiles ....

Thx dude.. Found a beige color 1x1, RM1.59, going to choose that.

the hollow sound means that while laying the tile, there is not enough cement for that hollow portion. The tile is waiting to crack.No point to re laying the tile.
