Local rules and what to check
HDB flats have their own tile rules. Under HDB guidelines, new tiles can be laid over existing floor finishes with adhesive, subject to limits on total floor height, and existing wet-area floor tiles must be hacked and relaid during renovation. Local guides also name a 50 mm thickness rule for HDB-approved tiles, so check the tile thickness with the seller before you order. The Singapore code of practice for ceramic wall and floor tiling sets the design and installation requirements for internal and external work.
Season and wet weather
Singapore has no winter, so tiling work and orders do not follow a season. The wet and dry spells matter for outdoor tiling, though, since adhesive and grout need dry weather to set. Plan balcony or yard work for a drier spell, and give your installer a timetable so the tiles arrive in time.
How tiles are bought and delivered
Listings do not always state whether the price is per tile, per box or per square metre, so compare per square metre before you decide. Tile sizes are given in centimetres and floor areas in square metres. Some listings offer a sample in 48 hours, which lets you check the colour in your own room. Ask whether delivery to Tampines, Woodlands, Jurong West or Ang Mo Kio is included in the price.
What to write in your request
Say what you need, the floor area in square metres, the tile format and size, and the design you like. Name the manufacturer if you have one in mind, and the grade or class if it matters for a wet area. Give the site address or the city for delivery, and your budget in S$. If you are not sure about the size, describe the room and the wall or floor it goes on.
Describe the tiles and the room in your own words in a chat on BlaBlaPrice, and add a photo of the space if you have one. Requests are free for buyers, your contacts stay hidden, and you decide with whom to exchange them. For the rest of the job, see building and renovation or finishing and cladding materials, or start with a request on the home page.
