wuga98 0 Report post Posted June 17, 2008 not sure if they is any truth to this but sounds logical, my contractor mentioned that the height they will tile for the batroom wall is 2.4M? As i have ceiling height as high as 3.2M, do people tiled this all the way to the false ceiling and does it look better? just checking if you folks have an opinion on this one. Thanks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

LittleDevil 0 Report post Posted June 19, 2008 Visually i would think full-height wall tile would look more complete. Tiling up to 2.4m with the topmost finished with paints seems to look a bit dated. Unless the designer has some nice plan to make it look nice. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
zirhk3355 1 Report post Posted June 19, 2008 I see some condo showflats nowadays, the toilets have the walls of the dry areas tiled halfway only. The top part is covered with either textured paint or wallpaper. Seemed to be the latest trend leh, full tiles are passe and boring liao. I did ask about the wallpaper, won't peel off meh?? Apparently nowadays got new type of wallpaper glue that can withstand mild, indirect steam, eg from showers/bathtubs. If you use a steamer and aim directly at the wallpaper of course will peel off lah! Safer way is to have full shower/bath screen, and/or with a window inside the shower/bath area.

Thanks think no matter it is logical or not, i think it will look funny in ur bathroom if u do tile till 2.4m while ur ceiling is 3.2m. unless it is ur balcony or those wet areas service balcony at kitchen than it is ok to do half. For toilet wise, i will ask them do all the way up. Is it, becos ur contractor did not see its 3.2m n than they already quote u the price? cos i knw tiler when do bathroom, they charge for standard price for HDB. but height is limited la. but ur case too high so they wanna charge but contractor cannot......... i not sure abt the rules of HDB for toilets, u chk with them is it ok to do up to 3.2m ?
