    In my humble opinion Overlays are not really a good idea...as the cement bond between the old tile and the new one is not as strong esp so in the case if your old tile has a "smooth" finish...the bond then will only be at the cement line...between the tiles...also if your block undergoes upgrading any form of vibration caused by machinery may cause your tiles to "pop" i have had friends experience this...some IDs do not even offer guarantee/warranty knowing this..

    Hi all,

    We just got a resale unit and there are some wires running through the false ceilings. We do want to run a few more electrical plugs and powerpoints however, are we able to do this through the false ceilings, instead of running it exposed outside, yet not damage the false ceilings?

    Any suggestions?

    Thanks!

    yeah it's possible...just consult your electrician...but most are reluctant...as it's a tedious process.he may need to take out a few lights and try and run the wires through..slight damages can always be patched up no issues..it's just plaster anyways....

    Hi Guys, I'm currently doing a bit of planning for my reno for my kitchen. My kitchen has some areas (there's no kitchen cabinet, hob etc here) that are exposed. It's just open walls. Currently the walls are tilled, but the tiles are in pretty bad shape. I was thinking of knocking them down and either having them:

    1) retiled

    2) skimmed and painted over

    My concern was mainly whether if I just painted those exposed areas, will the paint develop blotches over time due to oils resulting from cooking activities etc. Also I was hoping if you guys could recommend a paint that is particularly resistant to this and/or easy to clean. Other areas of my kitchen where the hob/hood and kitchen cabinets are will have a glass panel over it, so I don't plan to tile them. These exposed walls are basically framing the doors for the utility room and toilet.

    Hoping to get some great insights from you all here and thanks in advance:)

    You may wanna try this i guess...!
