Kitchen Tile Selection $2.5/sf, Is It Okay?

[cuian01 0]

the contractor quote me supply & lay the tile, instead naming the brand, he gave the unit price $2.5/sf. Is it good enough for Kitchen Tile? Is such tile durable?

I don't think any ID/contractor will quote you the brand.

Go to the tile shops, look at the tiles of this price range and below, does it meet your requirements and your budget? Got to do a bit of homework also.

need to differentiate between floor and wall tiles

and also contractor should tell u where to choose

mine is 300x600

cost is around 700sgd for wall tile only

The contractor quote us the same unit price for wall tile and floor tile at $2.5/sf.

BTW, where are the tile shops?

dun worry. i was oso being quoted for de 2.50 for both floor n wall tiles. but my ID is quite chin chye. abit out of 2.50 he dun really care.

like de wall tiles, i took de ceramic ones with textures, n dey come to abt 3.20psf, while floor i go for 2.40/2.60psf ones, he oso quite ok.

cos afterall, de tile shop will give ur id discount one la.

but cannot too extreme. for living room i was quoted for de 3.50 ones. haha. but i was interested in de 16bucks one, my ID nearly fainted
