Hi

Nice transformation! May I know overlaying of tiles is done for your toilet floor or wall? How much cheaper than hacking and retiling?

Any home owner done overlaying of tiles for kitchen wall before? Is it cheaper and will they "stick" on the wall nicely?

Hi,

If budget allows, its better to hack and retile. If really wants to overlay make sure that existing tiles are very well bonded to the walls...no hollowness...

Thats what our contractor taught us. Infact wanted to overlay to save some costs but decided not to prefer to hack and retile as we will be staying for long

Hope this helps

Luckable, thanks for your sharing your thoughts before & after reno. My 4 room resale flat's renovation is also coming to an end soon. Will try to do a T-blog if I have the time. Gosh! Was really really busy from the start searching for flat, negotiating (this part was quite ok cos close deal on 1st viewing. Initially, after closing deal, I a bit regret. Anyway, will really try to squeeze time to do a T-blog to share the whole story.), then search for ID, planning, choosing tiles, shopping for furnitures, blah, blah, blah!

Back to your sharing. Before coming across your story, I also plan to have a glossy tiles due to aesthetic effect. Then until got once I visit my aunt's place, I change my mind immediately. She also using glossy tiles. She is quite a clean and tidy person. So when she saw the white grout in between the tiles starts to turn black, she use some commercial cleaner to clean it. Of cos, it is not an easy job. Imagine how many of these grouts turning black at the same time and how much energy needed to remove it. That is not all. I saw some staining at the tiles. I ask her is it the pattern of the tiles? She says no. It was caused by those commercial cleaner when she clean the grout. So, guys who want to choose glossy tiles really have to think hard. Cos according to my ID, he says white grout is usually used for glossy tiles. Cos don't look nice if mixed with grout of other colors. Where else if matt tiles, can mix the grout colour to match the tiles. Dun have to worry about white grout turning black & look unsightful.

I also wanted a rain shower too! But in the end gave up the idea. No doubt it looks really cool & nice but if you really cast your vanity aside and think, you will actually realise that it is really not practical. 1stly, must install a heater tank to supply sufficient water pressure to the rain shower which is really bulky even how small or well they design it, it is still bigger than instant heater. 2ndly, must wait for at least 15 mins for the heater tank to heat up the water! I wld have finish my shower by this time if I use instant water heater! Sometimes if I really need to shower immediately (e.g. got drenched in the rain), instant water heater wld be the saviour. 3rdly, heater tank eats up more electricity. Next, instant heater is way cheaper than tank heater and easier to maintain. Lastly, rain shower unargueable looks better than instant heater. I will find it fresh and nice for the 1st few months and my guests will be envy that I have a rain shower when they see my house. But as time goes by, one will agree that looks doesn't last long. See long also will get sick of it lah! Eventually, out the rain shower goes!

Kitchen cabinet I also choose matt for easy maintainance. Initial stage also thought of glossy one but like what most pple have mentioned will have lotsa fingerprint marks. I choose granite for countertop. Easy to maintain. It's true will have a line in between but it is more durable as compared with solid top. But kitchen is a place with high usage & most prone to damages. So I think it is better invest a durable coutertop.

Overall, I think practical is more important in the long run. Cos after a hard day's wk, I think most pple will wanna come home & relax instead of doing O.T. to clean up the house. No matter how hardwking you are, you will eventually get sick of it & give up cleaning the house & leave things as it is. When the day comes, all the things that at one time is very nice and pretty will become dirty due to lack of maintenance.
