The wood flooring looks great!

Think the info you got is a lil inaccurate. Generally, the batten system is used for tongue & groove timber flooring. This is to ensure that the flooring is installed on a flat surface.

Flooring using the S4S type is installed directly onto rendered cement floor using nails to hold down the floor while the glu sets. S4S type floors generally experience some sinking pieces after a number of years.

But do correct me if I'm wrong.

the staircase riser just paint finish?

think u'll regret later on when u see the step riser become dirty as most of my client complaint about this

Will this cause some quicky sound when walk on it after some years?

My 2cents only:-

If pre-finish hardwood flooring they don't use batten. I talk to few hardwood company they all advice to use batten because is much better for floor level, and also better water protection as the water will flow down. Of course if its flood nothing can be done.

S4S or TnG, they can do without batten is a cheaper installation.

I see you choosing the way of putting a batten before wood flooring is a good idea. This can elliminate water, uneven and space for wood breathing to expand.

Hope so. And now my broken marble also polished.

i can imagine the "skirting" as you / your maid mop the stair..after few months

Finally, all 4 normal door installed, and 1 double leaf door 95% installed. This uncle take 2 days complete. Most time consuming is my double leaf door, is not fully installed, The Samsung bracket need to be modify, I'll do it later and install, not major.

Polished floor.







Double leaf door with Samsung SHS-5120 digital lock + Jimmy lock. Took uncle 2 hours to get the hole for the Mortise, and I do the installation. Warning, if you plan to use SHS-5120 or similar lock, is best to have door thickness 40mm. Mine is 38mm, making the installation tricky and bracket need to mod.

Outside


Next is install the door frame skirting and paint.

The polished marble floor looks great!!
The door choice looks very modern and chic.
Looking forward to the finished product,

Sharp eye yes, most of the house paint are Jotun.

can't see the pics...too bad

Is cheaper than Tiles, original floor is already Broken Marbles, just the extension need to put in the broken marble. The risk is finding the exact match. Lucky i found similar matching.

Skirting, some big h/w shop will sell, and most door seller will sell too.

how many inches will be your main door skirting?

Not sure , need to go cc66 this weekend.

Just had my front door installed, and went over to the door shop to choose the skirting. Just wondering how my grill will install over the door now, because the handle juts out too much to install the grill within the door frame.

door skirting = door architrave
