Please refer to new thread.

The first thing to do is to solve the problem of your ceiling first before you go for false ceiling. You mentioned traces of water leaks and fungal growth, I think you are referring to the ceiling in the kitchen.

It's a high quality tiles. Must get skilled tiling installer to do lay the tiles.

For safety reason, buy instant water heater with built-in RCD or install an RCD after the Double Pole Switch.

Pay a bit more for a good brand when buying instant water heater. It can last for many years.

Go for ecopfon ceiling... good for music and Home Theatre as well...

It is a brand new flat from HDB or resale?

Some laminate wood flooring will shrink due to our weather whereas for vinyl has less shrinkage. It is also depends on your flat whether it is exposed to morning sun and afternoon sun. So far there is only some reported case. If you will to look around places such as childcare centre, shop such as EPI Cenre, Singaporepools outlets, the flooring look alright even though with very heavy human traffic.

My living room is from Evorich and the cost is about $7.00 (inclusive of GST) There are many in the market such as Kronotex, Invovar. Do your own research. The most important thing to take note is scratch resistance and shrinking due to our weather. Visit the Expo Home Furnishing Fair and check for special price.

Pergo is quite good. Why don't you take a look at Vohringer and compare with Evorich My personal view only

Choose wisely as some vinyl flooring can expand and shrink due to our weather. Mine is also vinyl floor and so far very happy with it. Good Luck

Broken marble is just like terrazo flooring and it can last for 60 years.

It is alright to overlay vinyl tiles on top of broken marble floor but it is not possible to overlay with ceramic tiles. Nowaday more home are going for vinyl tiles due to the convenient and non-messy work. Most vinyl can last for a long time and it is very easy to maintain.

Vohringer is also a good choice and they are HDB Approved Contractor if I am not wrong. Look around and I am sure you can find one that suit your needs.

The best solution is to engage a skilled tiler from JB and let him lay the expensive tiles. As for sands and others such as bit and ends, let the local contractor handle the job. My view only.

Anybody placed order from Supreme? Heard that they have SG50 discount and not sure whether it is subject to certain color range.

For Vinyl or Laminate wood flooring, you can roughly tell them how many square feet you need to install and they will charge you by the boxes. One box contain 8 piece of plank and is enough to cover about 19.8 sq feet, However the size of each plank differ from brand to brand. They will install for you and charge you by the boxes. There are also supplier or contractor who will do a site measurement and add another 5 or 10 percent as wastage and calculate the total cost for the contract. Just for general information and happy shopping.

There are many brand and suppler in the market 1) Kronotex 2) Vohringer 3) PowerDekor 4) Ace (same supplier as PowerDekor) 5)Supreme 6) Floor Xpert 7) Wood Culture 8) FloorRich 9) Gaxlaxy 10) Evorich There are also some other brands and small supplier. Some are all the same thing and are make in china under different branding. Some are well know brand from Germany, Sweden and America. Choose wisely to suit your budget. I am not in the flooring business and the above is just my personal view.

Remember to do a scratch test and chemical smell test before you placed order. Once you sign the sales contract, you can't get reverse it.

I am trying to get in touch a very good ceramic tiles worker in JB. Not sure whether he is still staying in Kulai. Will update once I managed to contact him.

Flooring from Evorich. Sound system is Sony, YBA, Musical Fidelity & Dynaudio. Thanks!

Just installed my flooring 2 weeks ago

How about this? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GQl2QTpkd-E

For wall tiles, most contractor will use special cement. Something like with glue in it, is very easy to work with and the tiles can stick better than the old method. No need to soak the tiles before installation.

Vinyl tiles can be overlay over ceramic tile, sometime it will be necessary to skim coat the grout lines with a floor leveler ig the grout line is greater than 3mm. Laminate wood flooring needs is not waterproof and the subfloor must be perfectly level.
