Floor tiles popping up on their own in Yew Tee lift lobby due to change in temperature and age: MPA viral video of floor tiles popping up on their own in a Housing Board lift lobby is causing concern.
At first, it sounded like someone playing with fire crackers, but by the end of the video, it was like an earthquake as the whole floor bulged up as if it was about to crack open.Marsiling-Yew Tee GRC MP Alex Yam solved one mystery by confirming that it happened at Block 691A Choa Chu Kang Crescent in Yew Tee.
"Our term contractor has already placed an order for the replacement tiles and it will tentatively take about two weeks for repairs to be completed." Mr Yam also offered an explanation for what happened in the video:"Popping tiles are usually due to changes in weather temperature or due to age."One Facebook user commented:"Common areas don't need tight gaps on tile laying as subject to temperature changes continuously leading to varying expansion and contraction of tiles. Large side gap with fillers can allow for tile movement.
