hi all,

I'm shopping around some IDs to mainly do up two bathrooms, kitchen, and just a little of the living room. I'm very specific with what I want - I want cement floor in the living room (and preferably light coloured cement floor).

But I'm not sure if there are many contractors with these experience. I don't want poor workmanship... so, if any of you have anything done with a cement floor or wall with an ID or contractor, please PLEASE PM me or let me know here who your contractor/ID is!

Thanks sooo much!

I think almost of the contractor know about in, it's only the pricing

In Singapore, there is no one know how to do a proper cement flooring without cracking.

hmm yeah, what a waste. Concrete floor is a beauty, but practical reasons it is stopping us..

Due to our humid weather and the building movement, there sure be hairline cracks occur. Even for plastering, same. Why HDB flats build those ugly groove lines at the walls have their purpose for it.

Want to bump this up - we just bought a 5-room resale with very well-maintained broken marble flooring, but want to hack it and use cement screed instead. Any particular contractors to recommend? Thanks!

hi, i would like to bump this up as well.

just about to buy a new 4 rm flat with no flooring done. i would like to do it up with concrete. would appreciate any advice!

if you want to do cement flooring, you should split it up to sections and use a stainless steel or copper strip inlay.

if you want a cement flooring that does not crack (hairline crack dont count lah), use ready mix concrete from the cement truck.

sure will be much much better :-)

i wanted to do cement spreading for my kitchen wall but was advise that its not gonna last long. is that true? is it due to the expansion n contraction of the building?

if its your general kitchen wall then its ok.

but if its for a wall that is exposed to water splashing, oil stains .... then best is to use something solid to cover the wall.

eg. glass, stainless steel, tiles, solid surface, etc.

No lah, of cos cement will crack one, cement dry already will shrink so will crack lah, have to use non-shink grout one, my office warehouse using these to screed now also never crack, pm me if u want my contractor contact, he do the hdb void deck one very experience one, still can paint colour one.

raw cement stained by cooking oil, you will cry.

if you scrub the oil portion, when dry the tone at that area might not match with other area, you will cry again.

unless you lacquer the cement.

My manager had did a cement screeded ground for retro concept and was featured in magazines years before! The flooring did cracked and had to hack off every of the cement screeded ground and the tiler manage to redo it perfectly. And i've been using the tiler for quite awhile, frankly speaking, i only trust him than the other tiles whom had been giving me headaches

Can i have the contact for the specialist on the cement screed?

I am planning to do that for my new home.

Thanks~

I'm also thinking of doing cement screed for my unit. Only 1 out of 5 IDs mentioned this to me.

I want to do away with the tiles cos I've slipped many times in the living room with homogeneous tiles.

ID proposed the following when doing cement screed:

- waterproof membrane

- sand, cement, chemical cement, white chemical cement, adhesive cement

- clear matt sealer "tufseal" membrane

- river pebbles (to create some design)
