A good one will lay the tiles properly with consistent gap. My house tiles pop up after few years because got hole/gap below the tiles. So have to redo the whole room.

So far the Best DIY site I read for tile installations, provided with optional ideas also.

I think I'll DIY lol.

the uncle that did my bathroom tiles was really good, but he was slower maybe because my condo only allows hacking from 10am to 2pm, but if u guys need a tiler, do let me know. He can do plumbing too

can pm me his number?

I can give you special price

i prefer someone who does a slow but good job. of course not slow to the extent has to pay double lah!

The issue of tiles popping up after several years is quite common. There are many theories behind this and one of the main reasons is the tiles are laid together too closely at a gap of 1mm or less. It is recommended to have at least 2mm of gap between the tiles, or 3mm. Due to the properties of teh tiles, sometimes the tiles may contract and expand with heat, and if the gap is too little, the tiles will push against each other which cause some of the portion to pop up.

Well, actually for my case the gap is ~1-2mm on 1x1 tiles. I can hear emptiness below the tiles when I step on it so I don't think my case is the gap issue. But what you said is true, though.

The hollow sound when you knock on the tiles ie. "emptiness below tiles" is because the tiler uses very little cement to bond the tiles to the ground, either to save cost or to finish the tiling works quickly.

Hello All,

Here anyone knows where we can get those tiles we can install instantly?
Something like in the video below....

thanks!

agreed, but the problem is you never know until the job is done. my tiles said bla bla bla asking for higher price but the outcome disappointing.

that's why u would need to monitor the renovation progress, say, by spot check.

Definitely, he was a little slower if compared to my friend's tiler, but his work is good, and since i am not in a hurry, dont mind waiting at all

I went to a tile shop and they selling fullbody 2x2 tile which made in china at RM10 only. It is really that cheap for china made? Normally, at this price you can only get local made non full body! What do you think guys?

I was being quoted RM9 per sqft on wall tiling for my wet kitchen., where the calculation is by surface area. Exclude tile. Is it exaggerating high? thanks
