I dont think so la. Niro tiles are much better made. I just did my house renovation, and the quality is definately better than Guocera and MML. My contractor also thinks so and I got 25-30% discount from their showroom at PJ.

I have to agree. Niro tiles are higher grade than Guocera for sure. MML had some high quality tiles like Niro as well and of course the price is also very nice. So far I found the cheapest Niro tiles in Puchong. Even cheaper than the showroom at PJ. You can check out 4 best tiles in Puchong. They carry full range of Niro tiles.

few years back my current house renovation, whole house using MML and the quality is very good. Now i going to have renovation for new house again, and this time i notice MML tiles range like lesser a lot. So i try to see niro and guocera and notice they have more range. My contractor told me don't use floor tiles (porcelain) to do wall as it is very hard to drill and it tends to popup easily (due to its density is high). so ask me choose ceramic wall tiles for wall, but it is fine to choose porcelain for floor. does anyone notice about this? between guocera vs mml which one better?
*
MML is better. Drilling is a problem if the tile is too hard especially for wall. I am sure you will need fixture or fitting on wall, so is something to consider clearly.

Thanks, according to my contractor he said he didnt calculate price per sqft coz my garage is not big (230 sqft) only... So he just quote me lump sum amount... 3 contractor quote about the same price.. Is it true they normally didnt calculate by sqft if the area is small?
*
Most likely because is too small and it's hard to make profit

Hi, I'm new to this thread and I'm looking for porcelain floor tiles for my kids' bedroom. My kids are sensitive to toxic material and I've been visiting shops in KL and even some manufacturers showroom but most of the ppl can't really answer my questions. I wanted to see some technical specs or data for the material used and NO ONE was able to show me hahaha.

From my research there are some ceramic tiles that contain lead, mostly used for coloring. And if not lead maybe other kinds of heavy metal. I understand some compound are safer than the others and none are absolutely toxic free though porcelain tiles are considered very good because they don't emit VOCs (Volatile Organic Compound).

Also I read that some may contain Asbestos, especially those from China. Not all but some.

A few local brands that I quite like albeit a bit more expensive are Feruni and MML.

Does anyone have any comment or information regarding the material used in the tiles? I've checked their websites, brochures but can't really find it. I plan to go to MML showroom this weekend hopefully they have some answers for me but if anyone here have any information or if you know of any brands that are toxic free, do let me know.

Cheers!

Trust me, you won't find the answer. Technical specs is almost non existent in Malaysia for tiles. Brand like MML and Feruni is a safe bet

Hi all, I'm replacing the tiles for my place. My contractor told me that there is promotion for tiles at RM17 to RM21 per tile. He said these are top quality. Is that reasonable? I estimated the materials themselves will cost around 20k. The labor will be at least 10k.
Anyone can advise if the price is reasonable?

Now I'm also considering to do timber flooring instead. Anyone can share any experience with timber flooring?
*
What is the size of your house or area of the tiles change ? Timber can be as expensive as tiles and tiles will be a lot more durable

Size: 1,200sqf. Apparently my exiting floor has a number of hallow tiles. Been ok for these past few years but recently the temp was high so some started to pop. I'm trying to decide if I should just replace the popped parts or just change everything
*
I think the price seem to be expensive as you mention 20k for material, meaning the tiles. For 1200 sq feet for a 2x2 tiles will need about 450 pieces. So if the price is RM21x450 = RM9450. Well if you can find the same old tiles is better to replace just the few pieces.

My contractor can't find exact replacements cos my tiles are 1x1 which I was told that most people use 2X2 these days. Probably will just replace the popped tiles for now,

How you going to replace just the few if cannot find the same one
