I assume the tiles less than RM15 (for 2x2) are not porcelain tiles?  When I got mine, even my cheapest Niro Granite porcelain tiles is already about RM25 for 2x2.

We have heard a lot about Niro tiles in this forum and I wonder if anybody heard of Taicera or Kita tiles by Opsiprima before and know of their tiles qualities?

Was looking at some Feruni tiles yesterday at the Home Furnishing Fair.  Price pretty competitive but I was told that the products are from OEM China and Vietnam. 

Wonder if anybody had problems with their product before?

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

Hi all

Wish to check if the price below is reasonable or not.

I wish to level my back yard ( currently is soil with grass 180 sqft. ) to cement with 1x1 tiles. The price around RM 2200. It is reasonable? Anything I need to take note?

Thanks in advance.

Hi, anyone know where i can cut tiles? I just need to cut few pieces.

I'm afraid contractor can't do clean cuts.

mine is flat. walk up flat       

for flat, we need to inform flat management or MPSJ or any other organization ?

for tiles i'll find myself at Super Ceramic in TPK , kinrara.. coz my uncle said 2x2 for promotion , price around RM8~RM10...

Guys,

Just some info.
I recently bought tiles from Super Ceramic at Jalan 222.
Quite pissed off with the lady working there.
While choosing the tiles, she kept pushing us to purchase in carton quantity (box by box) which meant we'd be buying extra.
Concerned that we will be saddled with a lot of extra tiles, we kept asking her - are we allowed to return the extra tiles if it's too many.

She said if it's tiles that she have to specially order or tiles on special discount - then no returns.
Then she said, if it's tiles that they have in stock in their stock and returned by unopened cartons, she will accept.
So we thought, that it's reasonable that we can only return tiles which are not opened and purchased most of the tiles by carton.
And of course, there's extras.
So today, I called her to arrange for a return.
Guess what?
She denied that she said she will allow returns and that the receipt/ invoice clearly stated no returns, bla bla bla..

Then when I quoted what she said to me that day - sentence by sentence, she backed down and say she'll accept the returns at an extra charge. 

I really hate people who say just about anything to make a sale.
Terrible service!! 

Noob here...wanna know if there is any difference between Grade A china made porcelain tiles (polished) worth abt RM10 and other tiles that are double the price? Sales ppl say all are same Grade A n i cant tell the diffference. Plan to buy over 250 pieces of 2x2 tiles n therefore budget is crucial. Hope some sifu can help. Im from Cheras anyway. Tq

Hope I am correct.  From what I understand, you can use any tile on wall but not floor but there are some ceramic tiles for floor also.  Of course porcelain tile is better and more durable for floor.  If you want those that still gives you same color when chipped, then you have to go for full body type.  And this one is super expensive (to me aje.).  Any other types, chip, sure can see color difference no matter how light the color is.

I was thinking of getting some cheap RM10 porcelain for my bedroom floor but from weikee's explanation, a RM10 ceramic tile might be better quality than RM10 porcelain.  Am I right weikee?

So the real question here should be QUALITY rite? But thats the problem im facing with these unbranded made in China tiles...it does not come with any quality guarantee. Price wise it is so tempting but whereas the branded ones cost more. Sigh!
Thank you ppl for ya kind reply!!

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.

Then i consider the price charge is fair coz RM8000 including skirting as well.

1 more question is that would it be cheaper if I buy my own tiles.

Thanks Guys. U all are great.
