Thanks all of you for the info. I am thinking of installing hardwood flooring for my new house also. I just wonder if there's any 5-6 inch width, maybe 6-9 feet length Merbau, Teak or Walnut available in Malaysian market? I prefer long wide strips of wood, more pleasing to the eyes. Anyone know the cost of those wood? I just want to compare the cost to marble flooring. Want to check if it fits my budget.

You may be able to find almost the size that you're looking for with LumberMart. Expect to pay at least RM17, but due to the non-standard size the price may be higher.


Added on September 20, 2011, 7:23 amHave seen work done by different companies for timber flooring and of all, in my opinion, LumberMart gives the best work and satisfaction overall.

My experience previously was with RV Woods, bought merbau flooring from them and overall service was good with only 1 complaint, wasn't completely happy with excuse and finished work in my walk-in wardrobe.

Anyway, I've listed the companies that I've either personally used or seen work done for my friends houses. Hope the info comes in handy.

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.

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