I'm plan to buy 2' x 2' for living room floor tiles, and 1' x 2' for other areas of floor tile.

Can anyone recommend which brand I should look for? Looking for value for money with grade A.

Thanks first for sharing.

Guys, can I ask your opinions please?

Developer has provided wall tiles up to ceiling height.
I would like to add a few electrical points (currently only 2).
Does this means only some wall tiles needs to be hacked off in order to do rewiring?

One contractor suggested for me to change all wall tiles as the replacements tiles will not look the same as the existing.

Not too long ago saw this item in an exhibition..an aluminium rail of which the socket points are flexible..mean can slide to any position in horizontal..the rail is purchased in length that you require 2ft,3ft or 4 ft..and on the rail you can chose to put in how many socket head..unfortunately I dont know what it is really call thus cannot google any photo for it..perhaps you could search for it in an electrical shop or electrical lighting shop..this will look neat as you only need to connect the power source to the connectors on the aluminium rail..whether it is good/safe for use like water heaters/high amps application, I am not sure

maybe you could find this in coming homedec on 20th Oct in KLCC..i remember I saw this when scouting thru for LED lightings

yes. Only floor. I think around 28 sf.

Are you sure it is only floor???..again, if you are just changing the floor tiles and only doing water proofing for floor area, you are likely to have leakage issue..waterproofing at least better to do for 5 feet wall height..

If seeing from your 28sqft floor size, i assume your bathroom size will be 7ft lgth x 4 ft width x 9 ft wall height..

Total area wall + floor will be approx 226 sqft. My contractor charge me RM7/sqft to hack off,to screed, waterproofing and to relay tiles up to 5 ft height per my request..balance 4 ft wall height is calculated at RM5/sqft to hack off,to screed and to relay tiles..tiles excluded

So if 226 sqft=RM7 x 226 = RM1582..I would say this is quite close and more logic..for waterproofing material(sika top) it will cost another RM 115~120

In my case, I actually count to actual sq ft..to minus the door area of 18sqft and even the casement window another 8sqft

My minor reno are:
Change 1 bathroom floor tile (rm1800), open a hole(rm200) for hob and remove car porch pillar to side with built a new pillar without roof  (rm4200) because already got skylight.

Wow, it is very expensive..your reno not considered small job with the others..but main concern is the water proofing, will you face any issue after that..better get assurance from contractor..that is my opinion of course
