Dear all,

I am looking to re-tile my newly bought condo in PJ.
2 bathroom and kitchen area.
If i am looking for tiles that are easy to maintain, what qualities of specification of tiles should i look for?
I really have no idea about tiles.
Thank you in advance.
*
for 'wet' area like kitchen n bathroom, choose something matt/anti slip / rough surface.
there are many many tiles out there. surface should be ur priority

hi kucingfight

thanks for your advice.
mind to point me to some good examples?
in particular brand or showroom? or a website?
what would be the price range for such tiles?
*
many many brands like Niro, MML, Whitehorse, Venus, Guocerra, Cotto , Feruni etc
and many china/vietnam tiles , which u should try to avoid

for 2x2, price ranges from rm 16 above for those branded tiles, where reportedly Niro is a step above than the others, and off coursethe price more exp too
china/vietnam tiles as low as rm9 above etc
u have 1x1,1x2, etc size..

Hi Guys,

I've decided to buy my own 2x2 tiles (prob from White Horse) and the contractor has agreed to charge RM4.50 which incl sand, cement and susu.

I think its fair cos the area mentioned 312 sqf.

Pls adv
*
good price, mine charging me rm4/sq feet for 2x2 , since i'm subbing all the reno work to him.
doing kitchen extension, total around 13k

Hi,

I need advise here. Due to my existing floor tiles "pop" out, now i need to redo my living room tiles, around 500ft. Contractor quote me RM8,000. This  cover dismantle all existing 2.5x 2.5 tiles, labour, all material, rubbish clearance and lay new 2x2 white horse tiles. Is all this consider reasonable?
Or anyone of you have a nice workmanship Chinese sifu with reasonable price to recommend. Very appreciate it coz it quite urgent due to existing tiles "pop" out. Thanks.
*
if i'm not mistaken, here's the 'market' price

break/clear old tiles =rm2/sq ft , 500x2 = rm1000
lay 2x2 tiles = rm6-7/ sq ft = 500 x 7= rm3500
2x2 tile = rm20 , rm20 x 125pcs = rm2500

Total ~ 7k. jus a rough calculation, +/-, n off course depending on skill level.

Is there a place or way to look for a specific discontinued tile?
I am missing a few goucera pieces for my kitchen, checked with the factory, maintenance office and developer d and no luck.

I suppose the only thing to do next is to go tile hunting? Which area has a lot of tile shops?
*
which model quote and quantity? mayb i could try asking around..

Looking at the promo above makes me wonder how are the tiles i've seen in Super Ceramic where they were selling:

1' x 1' for about RM2.30/pc and 10" x 13" for about the same price....as compared to those RM10 and above for 600mm x 600mm..anyone care to explain?
*
GodsLove, it's really hard to comment on the pricing, as there are just too many quality/type/halfbody/grade etc tiles. a 2x2 could be as cheap as rm 7++ to rm80pcs for 2x2.
