QUOTE(Zot @ Oct 17 2018, 02:51 PM) Affecting in what way. New house should be fix by contractor right? So, it's their problem, right? Anyway, I don't see why it can affect adjacent tiles. Yea, is the contractor fix for me..My old house, i fixed spoilt tiles it will weaken the neighbouring tiles, and few months later the neighbouring tiles also spoil... But that is old tiles lah... I don't know these new tiles how it will react... My hollow tiles the hollow part only like 10% hollow, so i don't know if it worth the trouble to change them.. You guys know whether hollow tiles will spread out or get worse over time? |

QUOTE(Zot @ Oct 17 2018, 03:47 PM) It will not affect. The problem is the tile is normally fix using normal cement. When the use hammer to remove the damaged tile, the knocking vibration will weaken or delaminate the neighboring tiles. Nowadays, special mix mortar (cement) for tile placement with adhesive that hold tiles better is more common and cheap. You can just do it yourself easily. Can buy tile mortar in small box like Pye brand from most DIY shop. You can you tube how to replace broken tiles. My bathroom tile just glued on top of other tiles to create an elevation tile high only so that I can prevent water from shower to wet flooring at sink side. It is still stick fine after 10 year already I believe. Great thanks for the info! |
