Ok sure
please check you pm .

Many people plan to choose tiles for their countertop, but most people do not realize that concrete is porous. In fact, more porous than Swiss cheese! The pores constitute 12 to 18% of the concrete but the pores are invisible, much smaller that human hair. After concrete is poured, almost a half of the water has to evaporate. As this surplus water pushes to the surface, it leaves behind a network of capillaries (pores) inside the concrete.

The pores are much larger than water molecules. Water vapor or gases flow easily right through, drawn in by the lower pressure inside buildings. But liquid water is initially held back by its surface tension, as the glob of water gets stuck inside the microscopic dry pore. However, as water enlarges the pores or they get wet by condensation, water starts seeping in. And eventually, the pores start actively pulling in water by capillary action.

Concrete blocks, particularly cinder blocks, are more permeable to water vapor than poured concrete. They all start as impermeable to liquid water but, when exposed to water, their porosity increases and they start seeping water.

2 to 3 years later, if you are using 2x2 tiles, the problem above may occur.
You can choose smaller tiles to avoid this problem. Anyway, granite still will be the best choice for now.

yap , normally ID will be charge 4 ringgit to 6 ringgit per sqft follow by your plan exclude exterior .

example :


42 x 24 =1000 per sqft exclude exterior .

after 3D drawing come out they will come out with Furniture Quotation & renovation Quotation , wiring , plumber Quotation as well .
If take whole renovation service ID will waive designing fees as well .

put tiles better ,since you have decide to put concrete table ,
concrete table put granite on top will be wasted granite bro .

interior designer do they have factory / own contractor for renovation ,
If out source sure they will charge for their salary ( not because of expensive material ) .
If Renovation + Furniture ,involve a lot of detailing / time / responsibility / idea / discussion / arrangement ,
maybe will took 2 or 3 month sure they mark up for their salary / admin fees .

yap you are right ,
sometime we will heard people said only designing fees took 10k ++,
price is reasonable , because designer form hire qualification designer and
designer need grow experience more then 5 year they just can start to handle a house ,
2000 prsqft , 3D drawing
Discussion +Idea + rendering drawing +test light + concept + colour matching = result
will took more then 1 month to process 3D rendering .

this kitchen Base is 13 feet ,
normally suggest take LED tube ( light tube inside is Led ) damage easily to change .
Led strips come with transformer , spoiled need to change transformer together need ask wiring do it .
eye ball normal put in decorative partition / display .

ok sure please check your pm .

May I noe whats do you intend to renovation your house ?

That is total price, just pay 1k and the mosaic will be on your wall.
For the small mosaic, 1ft x 1ft i think around rm18-20..plus the tiling work fee..So total need 1k for 10ft x 2.5ft.
Erm....for 10 inch x 8 inch, how much per piece i don't know, never ask before. But cheaper and easier to install. That's why the total price is cheaper. suggest bigger tile, less groove line, easier to clean

seen still in good condition , dismantle fridge part and then connect with existing base cabinet .
roughly can save 3 k compare with brand new set .

let see your layout , Thank you for sharing here .

Actually the price always depend on design, table top & materials and also accessories, so I can't quote for you before I discuss with you about all that things.
