big tiles tend to pop up are basically because of the different of coeeficient of expansion between the tiles and the base(concrete /table top). That's why whenever using 2x2 or bigger tiles must use additives inside the simen mix. All experience tiles layer know about it. Just make sure they use it. The tiles wont pop up immediately, they will pop up after 2-3 months, depending on the wheather.

Your query already answered by Purplecane. Really never seen any tiles with silver sparkles only. All black galaxy tiles are from China.

Workmanship is the key for all the tiling.

I m quite pleased with my Chinese tiler. Of coz I am not fussy like line must be very straight, gap not too big etc.

I'm just grateful he finish fast, and if I giv any comment he will take into consideration and won't be rude...thankfully

Okay, the photo was taken with my phone, not sure this will against the forum rules with price tag still on it.

Sometime the photo could be deceiving, different camera and display produce color differently. You need to go to the tile shop to see it, when I deciding the floor tile for my bathroom and balcony, I try it on my bare foot.

excellent info; now i'm hoping my illegal immigrant good friend (which also happens to be my tiler) knows what he's doing when he insisted on using both gam dgn simen (in his own words) when he did my floor.

wall tiles u can get pretty affordable price at super ceramic puchong. I would go for better ones for 2X2 tiles like niro and feruni (if the sft ure looking at is not too big)

For me, i went to the whole stretch at jln ipoh, i bought a combination of kimgress, alpha and white horse. Niro and feruni i bought elsewhere as only authorized places got sell one.

Extra note on alpha tiles. They are affordable, but they chip fairly easily. A bit regret coz i put on floor, i remember got wood design and can see the chipping very clearly. Even white ones also can see the chipping. I hv no problem with feruni and niro tiles , they are pretty good! Hope this helps icon_rolleyes.gif

Be careful when buy tiles. I have just ordered and made full payment during ordering my tiles last week. After 2 days, i received they delivered of my tiles and guest what happened. The tiles quality is not as same as what i have show at the showroom. I have chosen rough(a bit rough lah) surface for car porch, but the tiles when delivered to me are very very very rough. Is like kids when play at the car porch, may easy to fall down and cause bleeding. I called and argue with the shop, you know what they tell me:

1. The tiles produced for each batch may have different quality. (Where they never tell me this when i buy)
2. The tiles produced will not be 100% same as the one displayed at the showroom (Then what for display at showroom, cheating).
3. The shop will not be responsibilities on the tiles delivered, that is tiles manufacturer problems, not leader problems. (Who am i buying tiles from? The leader or the manufacturer?)
4. The QC of the manufacturer will only certified on the tiles colour, not the surface. (QC simply can passed. That also i received same tiles with different different colours)
5. We cant do anything, if you want, we can arrange the tiles manufacturer sales man to talk with me, but this will just waste my time, as they wont do anything as well.
6. I requested them to take back the tiles, the sales girl said base on the total need to take back they will charge RM260 for handling cost. (Which is not my problem but i need to pay for it)

Now am thinking pay a bit more for tiles is much better to get better quality of tiles, coz this is one time charge forever you stay at the house. Cheaper price always will cause bad quality and bad service. When i called again, the sales girl will always engage, at toilet, not arround, ask to call back also never call back till i need to go to the shop my self and argue with them.
I told them to bring back those tiles, and change others tiles which is more expensive, they will still charge me the RM260.

Sorry to hear of your problem. However, to be frank there is some truth to what the salesgirl told you. The shading of the tiles can vary slightly from batch to batch, each batch will have a code for matching. When you are laying a big area (let's say floor) make sure all tiles from the same batch, if different batch then might see "ying yong" color a bit.

As for surface, I imagine each batch can vary slightly as well. In your case I don't know if the diff is slight or big.
