Drop the idea of changing the flooring for 1st and 2nd floor.  As the cost of installing laminated flooring from HouseDepot will cost me about RM12k and stair case RM6k.  Stick to the original plan of regrinding and revanish the parquet.

the room have four sides. block one side still have 3 more side to go. or at least, still one more opposite direction to where the cabinet is.
furthermore, movement for timber flooring is like what? <3mm? the gap underneath the skirting should be more than sufficient.
and if your room does not have too much contrasting temperature (eg. setting sun direct and morning or evening full blast AC), your timber flooring should not pop out easily or 'move'.

try doing that in a position of a hotel owner or developer.
multiplying that by say 300 rooms or 300units x 2bathrooms = 600units.  nod.gif
another director gets a benz.

hey every1

FYI: laminated flooring, de core board itself is made by HDF (high density fiber board-tropical hardwood) which is 3mm allowance is a must at de edges is 2 allowed expansion at maximum 15%=0.23 - 0.4mm (per-panel) in between 13-15 days fr de core material due to de hot weather in Asia meanwhile for european is diff which is 3% (0.16mm is max-per panel) expansion ther4 de core material 4 them is made by pine wood (softer n more elastic-not advisable for Asia weather). how many panel tat required 4 ur area?????? important: laminate flooring will not expand until the packet is open up.

laminate skirting is at 13mmthk (older type) while 15mmthk (new type).

meaning tat floor depot is giving u an excellent advice! coz i did use laminate flooring alot 4 my project..
reminder kitchen cabinet must go 1st then only laminate flooring

My contractor quote me RM3 psf for removing and levelling.  Removing parque should be easy job.  But levelling should cost more as there may be a lot of materials required to level the whole floor, not room by room. couple with higher floor.  He told me he lost money charging RM2k for previous job.

My plan is use parque, if next time got 2nd phase only change the wardrop and flooring.  Just to maintain the budget limit which already bloated.

u dun need more material 4 ur levelling floor is only required "Floor Hardener" = 20kg for 80-100sqft depending de thickness u required,usually is 1.5 - 3mm thick.

The existing floor by developer is not level.

As stated in main page, RM2580 for 40 staircase and 1100sf floor.  I let the contractor to source.  He has his own flooring people.

Where can buy the floor hardener? Maybe i buy few for my contractor to do, instead of him using normal cement.
*
u can easily get it from hardware shop..ther is many kind of brand such as PENTENS,SIKA,SILICONE,FOSROC (top brand).

make sure ur contractor know how 2 use it..diff brand diff mixer + application for better outcome

FYI : floor hardener is 4 commercial use such as shop lot..meanwhile for residential & small area i suggest u use "self-levelling" or "mortar" 20kg.
mainly alot of them using mortar coz is cheap while self levelling is abit costly due 2 method of application is abit diff.
