where u buy ur tiles? basically, homo tiles comes in polished and wax tiles.

polished tiles do not have a layer of wax to protect it...

those with wax one, after lay, the wax must be removed. the wax is meant to protect the tiles from scratches when laying tiles...

be careful, mine comes with the wax type... the wax on the tiles is NOT EASY TO REMOVE...but luckily lian seng hin promised to rectify the wax stains...

Hi seashell, can you teach me how to check for hollow tiles?

hi may

i happen to find this, see if it helps..

http://www.archive.org/details/JoashCheeWh...useFloorDefects

basically u can use a marble or coin to tap the four edges and the center of the tile... u can hear a hollow sound if the tile is hollow..

accordingly, hollow tile if not rectified (removed and replace with a new piece), in time to come, it will tilt ('qiao') and when u walk, u will kick onto it... n if left ignored again, it will pop up completely...

Hi SS, is yours homo tiles? My new contractor say must polish the tiles so that the wax on top of the tiles will be removed..anyone heard this before?

Polish Homo tiles ? Unless it is scratches or change in color. Wax should not be remove as it serve as a protection on new tiles.

Thanks dear is it knock knock on the floor to check for hallow tiles? I saw 1 of the contractor just knock on the previous marble flooring and he say it's hallow. For hallow flooring, do we need to redo?

it depend on ID or the main con whether he willing to pay more a get a good tiler as it will eat into his cost. My tiler is a local 50+ uncle with superb skill. When Lian Hin ppl came to remove some of the hairline scratches of the granite flooring , they can't believe the super b workmanship. They told me they have not seem such a good workmanship for so long.
