almatador 0 Report post Posted November 15, 2007 I did do a door header thing, but thats only add 1 tile on top of the existing tile, should not have any impact of the leveling of the floor ma...Thanks alamatador, but why must take water level? How to take the water level?? What is 'spirit levels'? Sorry, very blur.. As still water has a flat horizontal surface regardless of whether the container is slanted or not. Hence water level (shui xian) refers to a marking of a reference height in the whole house, not in regards to the floor.And tiles are layed with respect to this water level to ensure the floor is flat..Other uses? Air con trunking can only be done when this has been taken. Else how would they know if the water will flow out/down when the floors may not be flat?Spirit level is those instruments we use during dnt to ensure the surface we are working on is flat. The contractors will be using this all the time when they lay the tiles/screed. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

xlan 0 Report post Posted November 15, 2007 nemofc, sorry if i confused u..wat i meant was.. i'm doing laminate flooring for the 3 rooms n therefore need the cement screed (FOC by HDB)..the $600 is for the sand that need to use for laying tiles.. n as for the difference in pricing.. because all my 3 bedrooms not laying tiles n so don need the sand so much cheaper.. n that is why for those laying tiles for whole house will need more sand n therefore more $..

At least, they do not have to rush everything when your screeding is done in Early/Mid December. I have u/l the photos in my blog. Do take a look at Monkeybone In Town.
