Good day to all.

Need a marble supplier for my house reno. Prefer at Subang Jaya location. Want to compare the price with Marble emporium located at Damansara Utama. Quote me about RM28-RM40 for medium product per square feet. Need a advice.

Thank you.

try contact rock crystal, Ms evon.

what type of marble and is the quote includes installation?

According to sales person, its medium quality.Don't know what type it was.They said it's from indonesia or italy or greece. Price without installation. Its' expansive?

I think the price is around there ... but you need to make sure what type of marble you're getting.
You shd check out other places ... see if they have overruns from some big projects. Maybe you can get cheaper.

there are so many type and colour of marble, how to comment without knowing which type of marble were you referring to?

Thank u sir..btw u may have idea what type of marble for that price. ipoh white marble is ok but i have budget for better quality.Wife like the yellowish but i prefer greenish. Totally lost

i think dont bother with ipoh marble. I would search hard for something like creme marfil (from spain I think) for that price.

You are right. I have no idea what type of marble to choose. Need recommendation for that. Budget is there but i'm zero in this.

Added on November 2, 2012, 9:01 amYes,crema marfil (spain) is good but how about the price?. White carrara (italy),rosa aurora/bellisimmo also good. Too many choice

crema marfil - you can get below RM40 per sqft when on sale. need to search ....

Finally,we decide to install ipoh marble at RM19s/f including installation/polishing. Before that, my wife choose to have volakas (greece) at RM35s/f but given bad review even from seller. Easy to leave watermark/stain, poor water resistance and other problem that scared us. Is the price is good for ipoh marble. Many type of them and i choose to have white (90%) (seen the sample) with very-very small crystal compare with other sample. Seller told that he must pay extra to ppl there (quarry) to choose the marble that i want. RM19s/f is good price?

I had volakas installed in my house, and did not encounter any problem the last 8 years. Basically a good marble specialist will precoat the marble a day before with water proof coating. If no water proofing is applied, moisture from cement base may seep through the marble leaving an ugly water mark stain. All marbles are porous, but wont leave any stain if you wipe them immediately after spillage.

Also remember to ask your marble guy to prelabel your marble block before cutting in the factory, so the marble specialist can arrange and glue the marble accordingly, like before they cut the block. The grain will then flow nicely. Be prepare to pay a premium for this type of service. I paid Rm8 psf for labour.

is it 2X2? price include transportation and installation?

Mind to share the Volakas's supplier detail.I am current looking for Volakas at bulk quantity.TQ

Its 1x2 including transportation/installation and 1x polishing.

white local marble is quite cheap. my view is the price is slightly on the higher side, but if they can do it properly and deliver on time, why not?

I want to share the info. My house build at Kota Bharu, Kelantan. There are only 2 supplier (with factory) available at Kelantan. During my visit to this factory, i see many siamese, on negotiation to buy the ipoh marble. Ask one of them why they choose ipoh marble and not the imported marble (greece/italy/spain). According to them, our ipoh marble had better quality compare to other imported marble. They willing to travel 1000 km and ready to pay huge amount for transportation/custom for ipoh marble. i'm ok with ipoh marble and for the border, i choose black levanto (usa). It's nice combination?

2x2 marble is more suitable for the living areas. 1x2 for living areas would not be so nice.
Of course, cost of 2x2 is higher, both for material(20mm) and installation costs.

1x2 is OK to use for rooms.

Hi, I'm seriously considering removing all tiles of my new house and changing it to marble flooring. My budget is depending on value. Generally Ipoh marble is okay coz my wife and I are both from there.

Can anyone attest to the quality of local Ipoh marble? I find paying steep price for imported marble is purely asthetics if not snobbery.

Most importantly, the construction of marble flooring, is it laid before or after it has been water proofed?
How is it waterproofed and with what material? How is it sealed afterwards? With what sealant and how long does it last?

Could someone shed some light here.? I'm trying to save some future headache here. Thank you

anyone consider marble from china?
Source direct from china perhaps? Would it be cheaper with similar quality

if you are talking about 'ipoh white marble', i advise against using it on the floor as it is not as dense and is more prone to chips & cracks. this marble is more suitably used for furniture tops, shelving and wall cladding.

waterproofing of floor slab and wall are to be done before laying marble. usually cementitious would be used for ground floor. if it is for a wet room on second floor, a bathroom/toilet for example, torched on membrane would be much safer.

for 'waterproofing' of the marble on floor, it should be done on every piece prior to its installation with impregnator, whereas for wall installation, it could be done after installation only on the exposed surface to save cost. impregnator usually last for >5years for residential usage

almost all marble slabs are shipped to china and distributed from china

thanks
Funny. I have just been told by an installer that Ipoh marbles are denser , less veins and thus less porous. What is the layman term used by contractors for impregnator?

Can anyone confirm that Ipoh marbles are actually inferior to imported ones? I made a few inquiries but nobody can confirm it for sure

Thanks
