my fathr who having 50 years experience as tiles worker
he advice me not to use 2 ft x 2 ft tiles
exactly as the problem u facing
it may not last long

must be ordinary cement ,not the glue cement
choose the wall type tiles
dun use the grass type mosaic very fragile (1 inch x 1 inch design, as i seen in midvalley secret recipe wash room waiting area -(outside toilet )(brown) ,the corner was protected by steel bar)

I am surprising how I dad survive over the 50 years
His labour charge only rm 2.5 persqft no matter floor and tile

floor tile i will recommend guocera u1729ag(500 mm x 500 mm), gloss white ,rm1.98 per sqft (rm5.51 per pcs inclusive of GSt)

typical 2 ft x 2ft tiles from china is 600 mm x 600 mm,it has to be done by wet laying,normally ppl only do dry laying for you if dry laying it will pop up very soon

this guocera has no such problem as compared to 2feet x 2feet from china ,and guocera is much cheaper
this is the experience from my dad who have over 50 yr of laying tiles

p/s :will show you soonafter my house done in 2 week
