Yes supply and install, the 120mm many i ask don't have stock. Maybe because of the shortage price gone up. Mine is just average thickness 90mm

Hi,

My house come with Merbau floor at 1st floor and the staircase. One of my contractor told me that the finishing of the Merbau is not good as it is just normal finishing and it is easy to scratch. He recommended me to re-apply better finishing which will have better effect of anti-scratch with the server RM3500. Total area including the staircase should be about 1k sqf. Is this reasonable ?

I have not seen the sample yet because he only will show me coming weekend.

RM3.5k is definitely not reasonable for re-finishing your floor. Bona finishing from Lumbermart costs about RM1.20 per sq/ft.

Chances are your contractor might be trying to take you on a ride.

if the scope of work include re-grind the timber floor, use branded water base floor finish then rm3.5/ft2 is reasonable price, Lumbermart RM1.20 per sq/ft with Bona finish only applicable for new timber floor done by them.

Even the Bona finishing provided at RM1.20 is only the entry level one and they are not sold in more advanced countries. A good finishing like Bona Mega is about RM2.20 per sq/ft

Thank you all. Yes, the work including re-grind since need to apply different finish according to the contractor for long lasting. I will check with him about the details and if there is further discount else I will skip it and get other contact for this.

I'm pretty sure Bona Mega can be made available for people who really want it. But for a price of course... hehehehe...

Hmm, if can get maybe my house next polish can use Bona Mega. Anyone know the distributor here?

its available n its not very much different with bona novia..

Lumbermart....here

Do you think they sell to home owner for DIYing?

My new home is using engineering wood with merbau wood on top layer...wonder why when i step on it, some part got sound like "crack crack crack"...sounds like the "gap" between is cracking lol is this normal for engineering wood ?

Quite normal for engineering or laminated timber floor, especially floating system.

My raised timber floor, engineering wood on plywood with lots of glue but still got little bit sound on some spot

using rubber silencio underneath?

what is rubber silencio hehe i saw them put a layer of transparent plastic, then another layer of white thin spongy thing...

oh..i think urs is PE foam (Polyethylene Foam)

I installed solid wood..so i upgrade my underneath layer PE foam to rubber silencio.

Erm..it gives more bouncy and reduce squeaking sound. keke

whats is your ideal width for the wood flooring? I read from a book to go as far as 20cm wide and beyond

The wider the better, think is 4" or was it 5", thicker also good 20mm. All this is good if budget allow.

Would you be interested in buying prefinished Merbau flooring? We manufacture.

18…20mm thk, normally 4" width, saw 6" one before but it's easy to warp

6" will not warp if its KD properly, especially with 20mm thick and Merbau, it is stable.
