In my living room and dinning room,
the old broken marble is no more shining.
I intends to change to 600mmx600mm
tiles or 800mmx800mm tiles.
total area is around 25x20 ft. A huge
area.

Contractor A came , and mention that nowaday
trend is 800x800 for our area like this
the outcome will give an " wow".

Contractor B came and advice not to
change the broken marble, just to
repolish again. He also mention that the bigger
the tiles , the chances of pop
up is high.

ehat do you sifu think? Shall i go ahead for the
800x800mm tiles orother wise?
thank you

can any one here give some general comment on
the pricing of
(1) HQ and showroom
(2) Distributor
(3) small scale dealer

can i get the cheapest price at (2)or (3)
generally.

rate is 7.00psf for floor tiles like
2x2.
if remove only parquet and resurface with smooth cement
surface 4.00 psf.

if new area or kitchen walls, 5.00 psf.

all skirting at 3.00 per run feet

all these without tiles.

all these are chinese sifu rates, but be aware
that there are also a wide range of
sifus out there. through recommendation
is better.

I still support 2x2. It is true that
big space will use bigger size tiles.

My contractor advice me to use 2x2 and no
regrets.

easy to break, need high skill, and
handling difficulty, are some of the
reasons to avoid bigger tiles.

If you have too many curves and
leads to many cutting into smaller
pieces is also a waste.
