MiracleSG 0 Report post Posted June 3, 2013 Isit a good idea to run aircon piping under tiles?Unless you wanna re-tile if your air-con pipes got problem. And I think tiles can last a lot longer than pipes. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MiracleSG 0 Report post Posted June 3, 2013 (edited) I think my light brown laminate is admira, the rest r EDL. What types of solid top does ur contractor have?I can't recall the brand coz I was quite focused on quartz as we wanted white and something easy to maintain. But saw your White Diamond, really swept us over. Edited June 3, 2013 by MiracleSG Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
juxstapose 2 Report post Posted June 3, 2013 Wow really? Took me awhile to decide cos all the whites/offwhites that were available looked so similar. Then it took abit of effort convincing the bf. but actually I duno how it will look as a huge slab. I hope it won't be too bling looking cos im trying the scandi look Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MiracleSG 0 Report post Posted June 4, 2013 I believe joints are a source for leaks. Plus condensation also plays a part in undermining the integrity of the pipes. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
juxstapose 2 Report post Posted June 4, 2013 So putting the pipes below the tiles is a leap of faith? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MiracleSG 0 Report post Posted June 4, 2013 That's what I would not choose to do. Air-con pipes not as easy to change as electrical wires.Btw do help me check out your solid surface. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
