I totally agree with you. We have to compare apple with apple. The locally produced flakes look more like shred plastic and lighter in weigh. The imported flakes look like oatmeal / wheat flakes and heavier. Those foreign flakes are mainly imported from Netherland and have been around for 3-4 decades or more. By the look and feel of the products can differentiate the difference between the 2.

There's a influx of individuals and compines claiming that they also provide tiles coating services recently. Flakes are manufactured locally in recent years and anybody can access to these local flakes easily due to low cost and ready stock. Apart from the flakes, the use of the undercoat and protective coat is also very important. This implies to wall spray coating as well. The application requires experience and knowledge of the product. As highlighted by a reader, this service requires fine workmanship and the reliability of the installer. One should consider carefully before deciding which installer to engage.

Dear ricklow1234, There's no necessity for you to delete your posts and apologize. You've done nothing wrong. I don't see what you've posted constitute to any form of defamation. I can verified that it's true that B------- at Ubi and T-- T---- at Upper Paya Leber produce local flakes. The other one I'm not too sure. Incorrect information is indeed misleading to some extent, it's up to the individual to interpret. I will stand by you, will pm you my contact in case you need any assistence.

Just to share some personal encounters. when i was a project manager with a construction film about 4 years ago, i did invite colourtrend paints to quote for tiles coating works for one of the hotel projects at little indian. an ang moh in his late 50s or early 60s, wearing t-shirt and bermuda (with paints all over his face and body) turned up. he seemed to have came from a job site. i was quite disappointed when he presented to me his samples. he left me with only one option - spray coating in plain colour for wall and floor tiles. can view the pictures in his web site. those are spray coating applied to the tiles (including floor). only in recent years then came about the designer flakes, linked to an australia web site. the ang moh operates from home and looks more like a omo. he does all the spraying works himself, with a helper for the simple works. he might have retired or sold his business. the current company seems like a complete new management.
