RE: prevent pop

I don’t think there are any specific method for it, bcs there are too many factors that caused this. But its mainly due to weather and we can’t control the weather, so i don’t think there are many ways to prevent it.

Usually it’s built up pressure and tension from uneven expansion and contraction, due to fluctuating temperatures. For example, hot and cold weather causes uneven expansion and contraction of the structure. This causes tension build up. At a certain stage, once the tension pressure is too much, it releases the tension by the tiles popping.

There are many solutions actually. U can try to remove the tiles and replace it with new tiles. Second method is to change the tiles to vinyl.

That sound means the tile might be loose already. I think can be due to hollow spots below. Might still look okay but when you step on it, feels empty. Better check asap

Got a few reasons. Heat and humidity can make the tiles expand and push against each other.

RE: tiles popping normal?

Not exactly normal, but its common in older flats. Usually happens when floor expands and contracts unevenly due to fluctuating temperatures. This builds up tension. One day you might just hear a loud pop and realise the tile lifted.

Depends on how bad it is, but usually minimum 200 to 300 plus onwards for a small area. There are a few methods to deal with tile popping, first which is retiling, it cost like around $300 to $800 plus or even more, depending on the size of the damage. Second method is the removal of the affected area tiles which is more complicated and might cost more bcs it involves leveling the area and so on then replacing it with vinyl.

Yep u can, however I think its best to engage with a professional since its a complicated process. Its very time consuming so don’t really recommend it bcs there are some things like each pieces needs to be glued properly,

Yep, concrete is super rough and uneven. There are 2 layers that u need to put, which are the cement screed to level up the floor, and self levelling cement to smoothen it.

Usually the 4.2 mm or 5 mm click system is the best, like what I use nowadays. I think they’re usually way easier to install and long lasting compared to the peel and stick ones.
