QUOTE(wrb7878 @ Mar 1 2011, 01:31 AM) BUT i believe it depend on tiles size as well. wrong, to lay 2'x2' shall be rm14/ pcs if the price to lay is rm 3.5 Let say, if the floor area = 1000sqf. A. If use 1'x1' tiles then 1000tiles x RM3.50 = RM3500 In this case price is 3.5/sqf B. If use 2'x2' tiles then 250tiles x RM7.00 = RM1750 In this case price is 1.75/sqf. means less tiles less work????   |

» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... « the material ( cement, adhesive & latex ) may not enough and the proportion does not correct, normally tiler recommend 1bag cement(50kg) : 1 bag adhesive (20kg) my recent renovation consume 45bag cement + 45 bag adhesive + 2x 20L latex, for total area of wall & floor about 1800 sq ft |

QUOTE(bteoh @ Apr 3 2011, 07:57 PM) went to Niro this afternoon and quite impress with its tile!!!! nice....but price also nice....wonder if any1 here used NIRO tile? How much discount they can give from the quoted price? i got 25% off from niro under contractor's category. for large size porcelain tiles, DO NOT save on latex/ adhesive cement as IT wont COST much.......In terms of quality, is NIRO the best out of guocera/mml? Such a good quality tile, sure need a good sifu to do tiling, am i right? else rugi....the alignment all will determine the final look of the tile also. Can any1 here share whether any typical tiling person also can produce nice results if quality of tile is good? |

QUOTE(JinXXX @ May 8 2011, 12:18 PM) usually i see contractor.. soak the tiles in "Water" only.. what susu ?? curious... only ceramic tiles need to soak with water before installation, homogeneous/ porcelain tiles no need.another thing why do they soak it in water ?? to make it adhere to the cement better or what ? susu = modify polymer admixture to mix with cement/ tile adhesive to gain better bond to tiles |

QUOTE(Kelvin5717 @ Jun 28 2011, 06:18 PM) your tile for 2 x 2 is expensive, the highest i got is RM6.5, then RM6, then RM5.8 and lastly RM5.5 i think you price include labour+cement+tile adhesive +susu+......except tiles? but if not mistaken Rm5.5 takde susu kot hahahaha cox not stated however RM6.5, RM6 and RM5.8 ada stated susu there 1 x 2 tile lowest i get RM5 also 1 x 1 takde wall tile 1 x 2 Rm5.00 also  still mahal to me as my tiler charge me rm2.3 for labour only, total consume 40 bags cement+ 50 bags tile adhesive + 4 drums susu for 3000sqft tiles installed, turn out to be about less than rm1 per sqft for others........ thus my tiles installation cost is less than RM3.30 per sq ft not included tile cost |

QUOTE(vatiore @ Jun 28 2011, 11:34 PM) susu is one of the material gonna to use for 2x2 tiles if don't have new cement+sand to be lay. susu or no susu depend on what kind of tiles/ stone u use,nothing to do with the cement sand base.if your floor have new cement+sand then you noneed susu la gang !!! purchase 2x2 tiles must select price RM17above per piece, otherwise the tiles surface will not have good level, means after install you will see uneven level. if the base screed not done properly or not mixed properly then the tiles will pop out/ hollow no matter what susu/ tile adhesive u use |
