Added on September 17, 2011, 4:41 pmHmm, don't get what you mean. All the wall tiles are glaze. Mosaic also but the line is just normal white grout. The TILERS say cannot apply gloss on the mosaic because the gloss finish won't stick on mosaic and very ugly. He teach me use the drawing brush apply on the line if I have the patient.

is your wall tiles, tiles or stones? looks so much like stones. great job. who's your contractor?

@weikee

How much the roof repaint cost?

Is normal tiles, cannot afford stone. All my contractor not from this forum (who know maybe cabinet will be). The tiler is sub arrange by my contractor. Like his work, think very experience, one of the wall switch not level with other switch lucky he did not follow the hole, but instead move up the opening. All the line seem fit nicely not perfect but is good.

I thinking to do roof repainting too. My house are in USJ too. will submit the renovation application to MPSJ this week.

Is these wall tile glazed? It look like matte surface.
I like these tiles, but I am worried that these tiles will be difficult to wash if not glazed.

All my wall tiles are glazed, except Mosaic.

Unfinished board and baton.


Putting baton with glue and nails than wait 2 days before installing the wood.



First day installing


Finish installing on 2nd day





After 1st grind, and added parque filler for gab and holes.





2nd grind too dusty did not take photo, but look much better especially after apply 2 layer of sealer.

Weikee, may I ask why need those baton before install the flooring wood?

Would it cause the flooring wood uneven after few years? Or quicking sound after sometime.

The batten suppose to be a better way, and is also the old way.

If water spill over the floor, it will slip through the floor board and go down to the baton and slowly dry. This make the solid wood last longer. Without batten the solid wood will soak in the water and go out of shape.

This batten is also hard wood (think is chengal can really recall), is harder than merbau.

Hardwood flooring with batten installation is more expensive than just glu the wood flooring.

Is this a standard way they (Wood flooring contractor) do? Or special request from you?

Well done..It is nice to have wood flooring but I choose to use tiles for floor...

May i know how much did you spend on the hardwood flooring? The upper floor and the stairs? Thanks.

Wow. who did you get flooring from. Looks pricey.

just to check..which architect did you use?

Think you need to ask them, because some hard wood supplier can do as cheap as RM 10 / sqft, but without batten, use only glue and conventional varnish (oil based). Even the installer i use have the cheaper version i mention.

Added on October 11, 2011, 2:04 pmA lot. You can check out their website www.parquet.com.my give you some basic to start with. The promotion price are glue and oil based varnish. For water base + batten add another 50%, Skirting is RM 5 per foot, stair is RM 30 per Sqft. And if you use 90mm width wood is also RM 2 extra.
