why you select Rubina and Deka, is not either one of it will be better?

I select rubine pluto because I plan need a model that has
1. Bright Light (Rubine has 2 built in bulb so can put 2 pcs energy savings bulb) bright liao. cool2.gif
2. Low ceiling height- total fan height, only 18". nod.gif
-Gonna pot it outside my car porch.

I select Deka because so far in LYN have not seen any complain about this brand yet. tongue.gif

laminated flooring NO need polish & CAN NOT be polish..
Engineering board which have 2-3mm thick real wood on top can polish/ drind 1-2 time if scratched.

some solid wood floor also pre-finish but the best is grind & finish on site, u won't feel any gap/ uneven joint

It is floor after all, not to-fu, so there is a level of durability.
Mine is AC3 Grade
AC3 - laminate flooring can withstand any type of heavy residential traffic and may also be used in a professional setting with light traffic.

How much the AMfloor cost psf? and your skirting is MDF?

Initially i plan for Inovar and Robina 8mm floor, but they have a lot design is out of stock or no in market any more.
After try to walk on 8mm and 12mm and i decided go for 12mm....but 12mm have less design...all dark color.... rclxub.gif

But i really like the 12mm feel....can feel the "wood" compare to 8mm. 12mm is AC5, what is different compare to 8mm AC3?

So far i only see compariosn between AC3 and AC4:

Level Of Use
AC3 = Class 23 / 31
AC4 = Class 23 / 32

Abrasion Class
AC 3 = IP-Value: ≥2000 revolutions
AC4 = IP=Value: ≥4000 revolutions

Amfloor cost psf is relatively similar to Inovar. and yes, my skirting is in MDF. nod.gif
Amfloor utilises Robina's floorboards. Robina do distribute selected models to selected companies to avoid conflict.
For Inovar, ther use Stailhelm boards which they distribute wholly through Inovar.
If you are looking for out of stock Inovar boards then less chance of finding it.
If you are looking for out of stock Robina boards, can still try other companies as the others companies may still have the stock.

I went for Amfloor mainly because
1. they have the design I wanted,
2. the boards selection has the feel I like (some boards embossing just keel too plastiky),
3. they use Malaysian boards,
4. good reviews from LYN.

12mm is nice, it is usually AC4 or higher thus are more durable.
But for me the embossed pattern and design on the surface are not what I wanted.

your porch is nice. blend really well with 1st floor and neighbour's. if raining, wouldn't the water from pengola enter ur neighbour's area?

hope to see you move in before CNY biggrin.gif
