Normally, for renovation, contractors will use what brand of tiles ? Floor tiles and wall tiles are different cos floor tiles need to stand weight ? So floor tiles are more expensive, but are they also thicker ?

Is it easy to stick tiles on my bathroom walls ? The existing tiles is only up to 5 feet and I want to add another layer of tiles to it.
I will need to rough out the tile areas by chiseling out existing cement and then cover the whole tile back with cement and just stick on the wall ? How to ensure the tile will not fall out while drying ? |

QUOTE(Zot @ Jan 23 2018, 08:20 AM) My bathroom was also 5' high. I added 2 more rows to make it about 7'+ Use tile cement ? Can use normal white cement ?The contractor just chipped the wall with chisel randomly on the painted wall. The chipped hole was < 1" deep. Distance between each were around 10" perhaps. Nothing was done on painted wall except for chipped wall that removed the pint. Then they just put tile cement and laid the tile on it. Work done on 3 bathrooms and took around 6 hours I think including lunch break  No problem until now and it already has been 10 years.  |

Damn ! My bathroom tiles are 8" x 8". Have they stop manufacturing such small tiles ? I see White Horse site tiles minimum sizes are 12" x 12".

QUOTE(advocado @ Jan 23 2018, 09:48 PM) how old is your house? if within 1-2 years, some place somewhere may still have stock. you should ask management for the exact tile brand & code number so you can ask around. Jalan Ipoh whole road selling tiles. go ask all the shops. No chance, as my house over 20 years old. I stay in Subang Jaya; what is the nearest tile shops ? |
