Don't see any topic on these.
Anyone have this installed in their home?

What are the pros and cons?
The clip system like Allure vs the glue type (korean brands).

Pls share and comment.

While I can't speak for home owners,

I do have projects that have specified Vinyl flooring for commercial application.

The advantage of LVT over timber and laminated flooring is that they are resistant to water. It also provides a softer feel and warmth compared to traditional tiled surfaces.

The wear layer of LVT is softer to it is more prone to scratches but in a normal residential use, it hold up well against normal use and has the advantage of easily replacing individual tiles without too much hassle.



I will be installing some LVT in my kitchen/bathroom wet areas once MPPJ get off thier ass and process my strata title transfer for my (would be) condo. Will report again when done.

My initial plan is to use Vinyl Flooring on my study / working room, than my contractor told me this Vinyl Flooring maybe good for few years and later it may have pop up issue "like pregnant". The newer design and material may have less poping problem, but you need to make sure the floor base are flat, if wavy the feeling will not be nice.

Thanks guys!
So work must be done prior to laying them down.
Anyone's got 1st hand experience on those vinyl "wooden look" flooring?
How it holds up in day to day use, discoloring, etc?
What if u accidentally crack/scratch a piece? Is replacing them easy or it would mean redoing a big part of the flooring?

there is now a clip-lock vinyl flooring that is exactly like laminate floor but is solid vinyl instead of MDF. I believe that will solve all the "pregnant" issues.

These are not the glue on type but is 6-8mm thick(looks exactly like normal laminate strips).

This one is more expensive right?

That's Allure i believe, unless there are other brands out there I don't know about.

Anyone's got some good brands to recommend?

Yes, depending on how well the subfloor has been prepared, you may need to do a leveling screed. The more level the subfloor is, the better it looks and less chances of it delaminating from the floor after several years.

Regardless of what flooring you put, sub floor preparation is the most important.

A point to note is, while vinyl is water resistant, the glue sometimes is not. So it depends on the contractor to use appropriate or high quality glue.

I am using this vinyl flooring for almost a year... So far no complain.

My 2 cent, should be better to install tiles. Probably cheaper because when u include the self level flooring chemical to level the floor, it is pretty expensive. Same cost at putting tiles. Depends on what tiles quality u put.

Finishing is very important especially at edges, it is hard to get the floor straight so the vinyl might not be able to apply flat.

On scratch, it is quite scratch resistance for normal residential use. But of u move furniture a lot, might scratch if deep cut.

Water resistance is a very good feature as it prevents rotting.

I choose it over wooden flooring because my house has history of termites... It's termite proof of course.

Try not to select too dark colors as it makes the whole room look dark.

Hope this helps...

Thanks for the pointers.
Anyone else got comments on these?

will be using vynil flooring for my kitchen.

pros: water proof, no need to hack existing layer of tiles

cons: its slightly thinner than laminated pieces so there may be a bit of unevenness in between my kitchen and dining area.

price is not too bad, around RM8 (incl installation) pr sq/ft.
got it at the MidVec Home Expo in July/Aug this year

Yup, a cheap solution for kitchen compared to changing tiles... I use mine with some wood grains.. Greyish color, look very trendy... Everyone loves my kitchen flooring. Yup, and waterproof... Clean easily also. If lay on top of tiles, make sure do a layer of cement screen so the floor will be flat...

Retkev,
Cement screen means a layer of cement on top of the tiles?
Roughly how much will that cost? Is that a must?

Added on October 14, 2011, 11:18 amAny advise to whether should put in the inbuilts first (e.g. built in cabinets, etc) then do the flooring or flooring first?

This post has been edited by droo00: Oct 14 2011, 11:18 AM

The bare minimum is you have to fill up the grout lines. Even then, its not just the cement screed, a good vinyl contractor will also score/sand the tiles, so the glue/screed will have a good surface to adhere to. Prices should be about $2.00 sf for leveling and surface prep. Less if less work to be done, more if your floor is really bad.



For vinyl you can do your cabinets first, because it is easy to cut the vinyl into shape without leaving gaps. Its preferable, as some furniture contractors can be really careless about the floor and end up damaging it when they move tools and cabinetry in and out of the house.

Anyone here got a good contact for vinyl flooring that you can share?
Maybe share the price to?

Any other advise on these?

Hi, you may login to http://www.facebook.com/mlengineeringconstruction go to photo album under vinyl flooring to get some information. Thanks

Hey, thanks for the infos.

I heard that vinyl flooring shrinks a bit.
How true is this, from those of you who are already using this for a few years?

Laminated flooring will shrink and caused grout in between pieces as most of it are clip on. To remove the gap you need to remove quite a number of them to fix the gap issue.

Vinyl tiles are thinner 3mm normal one and 4.5mm higher grade. However we cant really compare it to real tiles or mable as this are synthetic material.

IF you want contact i can pm you my contact as i am planning to do it on my bedroom

Hi Bro,

Can you PM me the contact? Im planning to do in my bedroom and small office as well. Thank you.

Hmm...this topic on vinyl flooring doesn't seem too active..?
I'm interested too to install Allure's locking resilient vinyl on my room floors,
above my existing parquet as the subfloor.(dun intend to hack out the parquets)

Last i checked, its quite true the glue used by certain Korean vinyl brands will 'hancur' my parquet (too sticky)

Will the locking vinyl flooring work?
Appreciate your insights ladies n gents!

Hi guys, share me the contact for vinyl flooring as well, is there any shop that we can view designs and availabilty ?

ANybody can share what is the difference between Vinyl Flooring vs Laminated wood? Are they the same?

Vinyl Flooring
Made of plastic/PVC core laminated with design film and transparent wear layer.

Laminated wood.
Made with HDF core board, laminated with design film and transparent wear layer.


In actuality, they are quite similar, with the different of HDF core and Vinyl core. Vinyl typically is 2.5-3mm and comes with either tile form or roll form, while Laminates come in planks from 8mm - 12mm thickness.

There is also vinyl flooring that is designed to be installed floating, like those 4-5mm thick with click/lock joints.

This website provides vinyl flooring service.

I've temporarily used the Korean wooden look strips in one of my offices before. Looked realistic enough and those things are tough! Took quite a bit of abuse, still no problems. No scratching, no bubbles, constantly kena air also no problem. My staff said it was pretty easy to install yourself too, just notch it across with a razor and break it along the lines. The price I paid was for in cases, but if I remember correctly it worked out to be something around 5.00psf, without installation. Just make sure you install the foam layer first, its thin enough that the imperfections on the floor will show. Towards the end of its use it might have very slightly faded and there might be some truth to the shrinking thing, but hardly noticeable. This was a few years back. I've since switched to timber flooring. Nothing beats European Oak!

Is vinyl flooring suitable for office use? Walking on with shoes, will the surface gets wear-off, etc?
Anyone use that for their office before?

Hey guys,went to the mid valley home renovation expo today,found 2 suppliers for vinyl flooring, one is floor style and another one is aces loc, any of u guys heard of them before?hope that u guys can share some experiences if u do, thanks loads!

floor style?? why i din see that?

I was looking for vinyl / laminated flooring too.

Manage to get a small vinyl sample & I found that the sides can become 'peel off' (as in picture).


This might happen if I use it on my living room where I will drag my coffee table & sofa a lot.
Not sure of heavy mopping & vacuum will do damage to it.
Also, some of my friend who used vinyl told me that their floor will looks bloated due to expand of the vinyl.
And... one of the sales man advice me not to use too much water to mop floor on vinyl because the glue may not be so 'water-proof' wor.

Maybe I shall get laminated flooring instead since the price is not much different.

But the advantage of vinyl is that u can DIY & easy to cut.
And if 1 piece damage, can easily change & glue again.

For laminated flooring (like those floor depot), u need to have an electric saw.

Still undecided on which flooring to choose.

Hope to see more feedback here.

I am looking for the vinyl flooring to put in my bedrooms. However, now I need to study more on the pros and cons between the allure clip on vinyl and the glue type vinyl.

Currently my bedrooms have parquet flooring, all still in place, not even 1 piece came off. I'm not planning to hack off the parquet flooring. Which kind of vinyl is more recommended?

Thanks!
