As a flooring supplier , I have seen many owener trying their hand at arranging revo work themselves . Unless u have some experience or relative in the construction industry . or else u will be heading straight to disaster . u can get the work done but what is the duration ? and who will do the repairs when defects happen ?

u will be unable to test the tiles by the naked eyes or do strength testing as the sample tiles will be too small or short . waterproofing ,, u could test , but remember samples tiles and actual tiles sometimes do varies in quality

20mm thick is the normal practice . 20mm thick slabs is widely available in the singapore marble / granite company . Anything thicker = u pay more

If ur spill is cola , the most likely fact ,m that u need repolishing . but u can try calling faberca , search on interet , it is at kaki bukit , look for henry . They do sell a wide rnge of chemical

yes there is , try lian seng heng at balestiar or MML , dlite gallery near by . But the color is rather limited . lian seng heng is straight importer of chinese tile , ( by big volume) so u ccan get it cheap and good quality MML produce it own tiles , slight expensive than lian seng heng , but quality , and maniantance wise , swee swee , one word beeautiful I use both brand for my projects , trust me

care to pass me ur contact mo ? i will recoomand a supllier to u , and let he source for u

China made tiles is weaker in strength to italy tiles and then discolored easily compared to italy . as chinese tend to cut corners but chinese tiles is cheaper . my recommendation is get the tiles From MML (malaysian tiles ) they are better than chinese tiles but cheaper thean italian tiles

ok the best is granite cobblestone as they can withstand heavy weght even up to a tank but must choose line chiseled finishes for eaiser mainatance and for friction . if ceramic , u must get heavy duty ceramic . better from MML

bad news , u either have to hack all of them , as u can't mess marble although they have the same name but they have different shades . or just live with it , or u can pm me and i will provide with some ideas

ok easy why marble pricing is different 1st u must know what is called cut from slabs or cut to size . cut from slabs mean that the marble or granite supplier will bring in big slab of marble normally 150 0to 3000mm x1200 to 1400mm in size . Then u can see ur slabs swee swee until u happy and tell the suppliers what u like and dislike about the marble . u can avoid the holes , or scars at the marble which u hate . and u can also choose size of the marble u want depend on the size of the marble . cut from slabs is expensive as due to the fact that u can choose the best out of the whole slabs and those u don;t want will not be given to u , this isl called wastage . but don't assume wastage is free , all marble suppliers including me will bill u for it as due to the fact , when we buy the marble slabs , we buy the whole stuff , we can't choose like u To save money , try to maximum the useable rate of he marble slabs and reduce the wastage to 10% or below cut from slabs normal price range is from $150 to $500 depending from what type of marble u want cut to size is those pre sized marble like 600x600 , 300x600mm .. normally these sort of marble come from europe or middle east , as china don;t do these . they are much more cheaper . but however it mean what is in the crate u must take . if u are lukcy , u can get very good marble at cheap rate , if u are unlucky , u can see scars or holes of different shades of marble color . secondly after those major projects , there are lots of leftovers . those companies will repack them and resize them for resales , these kind of marble , u must make sure u are the first few to buy so that u can pick and choose or else pray to god . but if u don't different color shades of marble in ur living area , u can buy it cut to size pricing is normally $60 to 120/m2 for mid range of marble lar I m tired but i will explain more when i have the time

ok as a salesman myself for marble and granite the compressed marble is not as durable as to homogenous tiles Compresses marble is weaker in strength compared to homogenous tiles during the manufacturing of compresed marble is , the internal structure of the compressed marble is not 100% vaccummedd and there are air pores in the compressed marble and in homogenous tiles , the way they make it , there are lesser air pores in the tiles , thus making stronger . in lay man tiles , u can poke homogeonus tile 100 times with heavy object but compresses marble 50 to 70 times
