One of the biggest gaps we see is in understanding the materials that sit beneath the tiles and d&eacute;cor. These hidden layers: waterproofing, levelling compounds and adhesives, quietly determine whether a bathroom stays dry, whether tiles remain secure, and whether a homeowner faces costly repairs years down the road. This is exactly why we partner with trusted brands such as <a href="https://ardex-quicseal.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Ardex-Quicseal</a>, a key manufacturer in Singapore known for high-performance waterproofing systems, tile adhesives and substrate solutions. Their products appear in almost every home, especially in bathrooms, kitchens and balconies where moisture is a real concern. By giving designers a close-up understanding of these materials, we strengthen the advice they give to homeowners, and that improves renovation outcomes across the entire ecosystem.<p style="-webkit-user-drag: none; -webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; margin: 0px 0px 10.6667px; padding: 0px; user-select: text; overflow-wrap: break-word; font-weight: normal; font-style: normal; vertical-align: baseline; font-kerning: none; background-color: transparent; color: windowtext; text-align: left; text-indent: 0px;"> <p style="-webkit-user-drag: none; -webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; margin: 0px 0px 10.6667px; padding: 0px; user-select: text; overflow-wrap: break-word; font-weight: normal; font-style: normal; vertical-align: baseline; font-kerning: none; background-color: transparent; color: windowtext; text-align: left; text-indent: 0px;"><img src="https://s3-ap-southeast-1.amazonaws.com/sixides/uploads%2F1763437899672-Image+1.jpg" style="width: 100%;" class="fr-fic fr-dib"> <h3>A Behind-the-Scenes Look at What Really Happens Before Tiles Go Up</h3> The workshop took place at the Ardex-Quicseal Academy Centre, where designers participated in a hands-on tour of the brand&rsquo;s demonstration zones. Here, they watched waterproofing membranes being layered, saw how levelling compounds correct uneven floors, and learned how adhesives behave in different conditions. Seeing these steps performed live made one thing clear: a home&rsquo;s longevity depends heavily on what lies below its visible surfaces.<p style="-webkit-user-drag: none; -webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; margin: 0px 0px 10.6667px; padding: 0px; user-select: text; overflow-wrap: break-word; font-weight: normal; font-style: normal; vertical-align: baseline; font-kerning: none; background-color: transparent; color: windowtext; text-align: left; text-indent: 0px;"> <p style="-webkit-user-drag: none; -webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; margin: 0px 0px 10.6667px; padding: 0px; user-select: text; overflow-wrap: break-word; font-weight: normal; font-style: normal; vertical-align: baseline; font-kerning: none; background-color: transparent; color: windowtext; text-align: left; text-indent: 0px;"><img src="https://s3-ap-southeast-1.amazonaws.com/sixides/uploads%2F1763437946437-Image+2.jpg" style="width: 100%;" class="fr-fic fr-dib"><h3>Technical Knowledge, Explained Simply</h3>After the walkthrough, the Ardex-Quicseal team hosted a product sharing session that broke complex material science into everyday language.&nbsp; Designers gained practical clarity on:&bull; why proper waterproofing prevents long-term seepage&bull; how substrate preparation affects tile stability&bull; what causes tile popping and how to avoid it&bull; how levelling compounds create lasting uniformity&bull; how early material choices influence future maintenance The tone was accessible and friendly, a welcome shift from the often intimidating world of construction materials.<p style="-webkit-user-drag: none; -webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; margin: 0px 0px 10.6667px; padding: 0px; user-select: text; overflow-wrap: break-word; font-weight: normal; font-style: normal; vertical-align: baseline; font-kerning: none; background-color: transparent; color: windowtext; text-align: left; text-indent: 0px;"> <p style="-webkit-user-drag: none; -webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; margin: 0px 0px 10.6667px; padding: 0px; user-select: text; overflow-wrap: break-word; font-weight: normal; font-style: normal; vertical-align: baseline; font-kerning: none; background-color: transparent; color: windowtext; text-align: left; text-indent: 0px;"><img src="https://s3-ap-southeast-1.amazonaws.com/sixides/uploads%2F1763437973001-Image+3.jpg" style="width: 100%;" class="fr-fic fr-dib"><h2>A Thoughtful Keynote on Craft, Experience and Empathy</h2>The afternoon closed with a keynote by Jackie Lai, Multi-Award-Winning Designer and Design Director of MCC Singapore. Speaking under the theme If I Have A Time Machine, he reflected on how his instincts evolved through landmark projects including Marina One Residences, Gucci Osteria and the Formula One Corporate Sky Suites &amp; Twenty3. His message was simple but powerful: good design is not just about what you see, but about the empathy, precision and lived experience that shape each decision behind the scenes. <img src="https://s3-ap-southeast-1.amazonaws.com/sixides/uploads%2F1763438004506-Image+4.jpg" style="width: 100%;" class="fr-fic fr-dib"><div style='-webkit-user-drag: none; -webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; user-select: text; clear: both; cursor: text; overflow: visible; position: relative; direction: ltr; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: "Segoe UI", "Segoe UI Web", Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; font-style: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; white-space: normal; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); text-decoration-thickness: initial; text-decoration-style: initial; text-decoration-color: initial;' id="isPasted"> <h2>A Warm Afternoon of Sharing and Connection</h2>The event ended on a relaxed note over refreshments, with designers exchanging experiences, asking questions and connecting over shared challenges.

<h2>A higher-risk year, so build protection through caution, organisation, and a safer home.</h2> <h2 id="isPasted">Outlook for those born in the year of the Tiger</h2>2026 carries a sharper edge. Disputes, accidents, and legal troubles are on the radar, and protection is limited. Your home should not add to risk. This is the year to fix what is loose, unstable, or constantly irritating, because everyday friction can escalate fast. Think calm routines, fewer impulsive reactions, and a space that feels safer to move around in. <h2>Career</h2>Business progress may be slow, and trusting the wrong people can cause financial loss. Stick to what you know works, and avoid hasty decisions. <h2>Work</h2>Demanding superiors and self-serving colleagues may lower efficiency and increase stress. Mistakes can happen when emotions run high, so work strategically and do not rush. <h2>Wealth</h2>Unfavourable for speculation. Avoid betting, casinos, short-term trading, and risky plays. If you do anything at all, keep it minimal and controlled. <h2>Love and family</h2>First-time lovers may face strong rivals, and work pressure can strain relationships. Marriage or welcoming a child can bring joy that offsets misfortune. At home, emotions can become unstable, and children may need closer guidance. Elders may face health issues, so do not neglect them.<h2> </h2><h2>Health</h2>Accident risk is highlighted, along with elders&rsquo; health concerns. Be safety-minded, especially at home. <h2>Power Colours</h2>Gold, Silver, White <h2>Best-Facing Directions</h2>North, Northeast, Southeast <h2>Home Tip</h2>Do a home safety sweep in one weekend. Replace slippery bathroom mats, secure wobbly shelves, fix loose tiles or uneven flooring, and declutter walkways. Upgrade corridor lighting so you are not navigating shadows at night. A safer home reduces stress, prevents avoidable mishaps, and keeps you from making tired, reactive decisions. <a href="http://www.sixides.com/sixides-2026-chinese-zodiac-home-forecast" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Back to main zodiac forecast page</a> <h2> </h2>Renovating soon?

TIGER 2026 Home Forecast

Birth years: 1950, 1962, 1974, 1986, 1998, 2010

<h2>Discipline brings your best outcomes this year, especially through routines, health, and a calmer home base.</h2> <h2 id="isPasted">Outlook for those born in the year of the Snake</h2>2026 calls for caution. Misfortune can arise when routines are careless, so your home must support steadiness. This is the year to protect sleep, keep your diet cleaner, and avoid draining your energy on unnecessary travel or chaos. A well-run home becomes your advantage, because it keeps stress from turning into illness or setbacks. <h2>Career</h2>A brighter outlook is possible, with benefactor support and good results locally and abroad. Innovation and share acquisitions may appear, but stronger fortune is often linked to joyful family occasions. <h2>Work</h2>Workload can be heavy and stressful. Recognition is possible, even promotion or a raise, but you must manage health and pace. <h2>Wealth</h2>Windfalls are more likely when there are joyful occasions in the family. Pay attention to familiar numbers if you must, but avoid risky speculation and know when to stop. <h2>Love and family</h2>Relationships can progress quickly to marriage. Young married couples are encouraged to plan for a child. Married men should be cautious of extramarital affairs, especially if working abroad. Elders may rejoice at grandchildren. Middle-aged women should monitor gynaecological health. Those born in 1953 are advised to avoid overseas travel. <h2>Health</h2>Health needs extra attention, especially for those born in 1953 and 1965, and women monitoring gynaecological issues. Diet and routines matter more than usual. <h2>Power Colours</h2>White, Black, Yellow <h2>Best-Facing Directions</h2>Southeast, Southwest, West <h2>Home Tip</h2>Turn your bedroom into a proper recovery zone. Add blackout curtains if needed, improve airflow, and remove work clutter from the sleep space. Use soft white or warm yellow lighting at night. When sleep improves, everything else becomes easier, including relationships, work performance, and money discipline. <a href="http://www.sixides.com/sixides-2026-chinese-zodiac-home-forecast" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Back to main zodiac forecast page</a> <h2> </h2>Renovating soon?
