Hi,

Is there any imitation tiles in the market? If there is, how do we check?

Can the indoor tiles be used for car porch? There is this tiles that I saw @ the showroom and I like it MML Drizzle Series, MB382. When I check at MML website, it states that this tiles is for indoor. So, is it ok to use for car porch? I hv no idea about tiles. So any help is apprciated.

Is it Homogeneous Tile? homogeneous are stong. You need to ask the seller. When wrongly choose tiles, the tiles can break due to unable support weight, color fade due to high sun exposure. Better check.

I'm being quoted 3.50 to hack away tiles and RM8 to lay 2x2 tiles.

Expensive? Sounds expensive to me...

Rm8 for one pieces 2x2? If that is correct is not that expensive. Only rm2 per sqft.

Sound expensive. My contractor quote me 4.5 for 2x2 and 3.5 for smaller size. But that was 2011 price. Include cements and sands. Tiles I supply.

BTW my understand others things are charge extra like steps, skirting, mosaic.

mine rm2.5 psf for all tiles size. but only for labor cost. cements, sands etc all have to buy myself. it's good since the contractor won't try to cut cost on material used.

and yes, they charge differently for steps, skirting and other specific work. the rm2.5 psf only apply for floor and wall.

Material cement, sands and "milk" can be costly, and they can have lots of wastage if we supply to them.

found my tiles at wet kitchen crack, and go n knock it one by one then found out most of the tiles also got hollow sound...
picture taken after i ask the tiling guy to hack the tiles out to see..
from the picture, i can see gap between the cement and the wall, seem like the tiles is stick to the cement but cement not stick to the wall.....another picture show that the wall is smooth meaning the tiling guy didnt knock the wall 1st before lay the tiles.....

anyone knoe why this happening? is it my assumption correct? very hard when u wan them to admit is their fault.......

now waiting their boss answer on how to solve the problem....

If that was original wall was smooth plaster the contractor need to rough it. If it was build up new wall no need rough normally the tiler will lay on the brick, or the plastering will use rough surface.

Sometime they use susu to helps the tikes stick. Look like you may have to hack out the hollow part and redo.

Sound expensive. My price during 2011 was about 5.50 PSF for 2x2, and 4.5 PSF for smaller tiles. All exclude tiles. Include waterproofing in washroom.

My house tiles popup this in the morning after a whole day raining on day before (guess the whole day raining make the room temperature change cause the pop-up)

After doing so much research online, most people recommend hack all the tiles on the whole area and redo it.

But i was kind of worried the work cause my house so dusty, was thinking just to replace the pop-up part and also the tiles that I can feel "emptyness" when I step on it.

Any bro sister got good contractor to recommend?

Besides, I was also considering changing to laminate flooring. Any comment?

Thanks.

Is it a renovated? If it recent renovated, ask back the contractor to redo

Just started to renovate my house last month, here are some of my experience throughout these tough period :')

Super Ceramic is very expensive!!!
I get the quotation 2 weeks ago at RM7.80 per piece for 2'X1' MML tiles. They rise up to RM9.80 on the next week.  mad.gif
So i decided to change to another tiles "local brand" which cost me RM8.20 per piece at Super Ceramic.

After all, I saw other shops selling at RM7.20 for the same piece of tiles!!!!
I found a few cheaper store selling tiles at Sungai Jati, Klang.
