my contractor told me that its more expensive too. reasoning is that its harder for e tiler to lay the tiles properly since its bigger, requires more workmanship so hav to pay more for workmanship.

I hav my doubts bout this. My tiles in my toilet in the end came out pretty bad which my contractor agreed in e end. So i believe after rectification, if nt all done properly and stil gt bad worksmanship(very uneven tiles and 'teeth' edges) i'll settle on an agreement with him to hav some sort of discount. doesnt make sense that i pay more for e workmanship but it still comes out bad rite?

aniwae, for bigger tiles on walls. my experience with it thru e reno and rectification by another tiler who explained: bigger wall tiles if u place them v close tgt, meaning the gap is smaller between tiles, its harder to achieve a smooth intersection and will have more uneveness. The tiler can choose to make the gap bigger and try to smoothen it. So its a trade off btwen close tgt but comes w more uneveness and u can feel the sharp edges or gap bigger but smoother. tink u might wan to check w ur tiler on that? =)

hey bro, when is the tiles stock coming in? if it's just few days, maybe just wait for the tiles to come ba....

during my reno, one of the tiles also no stock :bangwall: but we were lucky becos the original 300 x 450 one got no stock so we got free upgrade to 300 x 600... keke :sport-smiley-004:

btw, the price difference between big and smaller tiles is well documentated in renotalk... dun worry ya :) it's due to more time/effort/attention/skill is required for bigger tiles and bigger tiles are also heavier to carry/handle, hence the higher price in workmanship ;)
