suzuka DS901

had it in my dining area

installed like normal tiles piece by piece, space the grout according to your preference.

purchased in boxes during discount, material cost is about RM9/psf +- exclude workmanship and plaster gum.

upside: 3D texture, paintable, each piece is molded against real brick
downside: collect dust in the long run

i have one extra box is you are interested to buy at discounted price..

You could consider using tiles since nowadays tiles have much better design with digital print. You could have 3D looking wall but with flat smooth surface.

Suzuka stone are nice too but with rough surface and big gaps, it will be a dust magnet.

Wallpapers are nice and easy to install but some starts peeling off after a few years.

If you want long lasting look, tiles, natural stone or suzuka stone will do the job.

What do you think about wooden wall design.

It will be a wooden panel attached to your wall similarly as wall painting.

Buy grade A red brick from hardware, ask the indo contractor to trim the brick ( front and back smooth surface) into suzuka alike piece. The cost of material should be less than 3.00/ft2

Using tiles, you will see the gap lines but it can be less obvious with colored grout.

So at end of the day, you will need to consider the pro and cons of each material and choose the ones that are suitable.

But for me, I will definitely go for black split face stone for the walls. They look great and the colors are real nice.

Yeah the black split face stone looks really nice but the surface would be a bit rough, right? I will probably choose something soft since I have young kids at home.

Thanks for your recommendation

How good it is will ultimately depend on how good a tiler you had.

However I could tell you one thing, for outdoor usage it isn't that good.

Unless it is an indoor application or an application where it is shaded from the sun this does have a tendency to develop masonry cracks and some of the earlier brick pattern ones I did are starting to discolour, red no longer seems as red as it used to be when new.

Another thing that does happen to them, unlike real facing bricks they do tend to attract a lot more algae and moss growth. Was told because it is mostly made from sand and the sand does tend to absorb some water and remain wet for longer.
