You will get what you pay for. My experience is that tiling will be from 50-90 per m2 depending on two things incl mat excl tiles 1. How are they glued down? - Cheapest method is straight to the slab with flexible adhesive it's quick and easier but...risks are eventual cracks as the slab shrinks and expands even with porcelain - Then there is a screed layer.... By far a superior method whereby a dry mortar mix is used to create a base then tiles are glued on top. Tiles won't crack as the screed layer takes up the movement in the slab. 2. The size of the tile... 300x300 are their preferred because they are small. As you get bigger it may cost a little more. I only saw yesterday a new 900x1200 tile but it's a two man job to lay, very expensive so don't think that will get much traction in the domestic market. So that's just a couple of things to think about.

I'm impressed! The tiles look great with small grout lines and it just opens up the place. He is going to do mine next week and I managed to get him down to $34/m2 as well. Dion did you end up going with him? If so, how did it turn out? Regardless of wall hung toilet or floor pan toilet your feet will be right on drain, seems to me the waste should not be in that location given the design. Also are you… 6 7042 9 24795 Thank you. Do I use timber floorboards for stairs or do people use timber treads? Or is both the same? 6 7284 |
