How are the house plans coming along? I'd suggest planting trees and making a living wall so you have something beautiful to look out on instead of a 40 ft wall.

ssuresh316...I hope all the pros on Houzz are in agreement here. Your room can be built as you envision it but we pros leave those sort of questions to a different kind of pro. Joanne is correct in that you need an engineer...but call a structural engineer. Civil engineers do roads, drainage, utilities and surveying. Structural engineers tell us how to make the building stand up.

Hello Lalit, you need to send the directorial layout which includes IN and OUT positions with detail measurements .

Hi Karuna, Here are a few pros and cons of using large tiles on walls - Pros - 1] They have lesser joints to fill and hence give the space a larger look and feel. 2] They look like stone cladding if installed properly. Cons - 1] They are costly as far as their rate/square foot and labour cost is concerned. 2] They require epoxy grout / adhesive instead of the regular cement grout which usually adds to the cost. 3] Since they are huge in size, they are not suitable for small areas due to the hassle of cutting the tiles manually to fir the size. 4] There is a high possibility of warp age in the tiles due to their size and because of this either their joints wont match or the surface may look undulated. Hence, it is recommended that large tiles be used for floors instead of walls. We would suggest to go in for the smaller sized tiles like 2'x2' or less for a more aesthetic look. Just apply tiles between the kitchen cabinets and avoid doing so near the peninsula. It would make the kitchen look lighter and brighter and not like a bathroom. Also for the back splash you may go for any of the following tile options - 1] Mosaic 2] Ceramic tiles/ Vitrified tiles 3] Natural stone such as granite All the best! Regards, RnD Atelier Nagpur
