QUOTE(bluesky87 @ Mar 29 2018, 03:23 PM) Guys, I intended to install laminate flooring at my condo. However, management told me that my main door is fire door and I am not allow to cut it. Is there such a rules? Anyway, the installer is not willing to cut the door for me and ask me to find someone else to cut it. Cutting the a small portion will not do anything to fire resistance, I believe, but there is regulation. You probably need to check with Bomba. Maybe they can advise you. I think it has something to do with gap around the door frame. However, in this case the gap will be closed back again by the flooring. It should be fine. The bottom side is less stringent. Just call Bomba to get guideline. |

QUOTE(bluesky87 @ Mar 29 2018, 04:44 PM) I think you are right but the point is even my contractor say cannot cut and they are not willing to cut for me they say some powder will fall off from the door something like that They probably just heard what other say but did not know why |

QUOTE(Two5Kid @ Aug 20 2018, 02:45 PM) Engineered wood flooring from China vs Inovar laminated flooring, anyone care to comment? Quality wise. No preference for repetitive patterns. For daily household traffic usage. Quality depends on the company produced, not country. Standard is set by company brand since it can be produced in any country.Most of laminated flooring is HDF board. The base is made from mixture of wood and epoxy. the pattern you see on the top is printed and laminated. Computer generated. So, go for the warranty by the brand. The waterproof one is most likely plastic resin base. |

QUOTE(Two5Kid @ Aug 21 2018, 03:11 PM) Wow, thanks for the replies. Headache. Both products quoted around 14-15k for a 1400 sqft area. Not sure how to choose. China brand giving 25 years, Inovar 15 years. One foreign, one local. Another reason to consider is that whether the company will be around during those period Just go for the one that you think will give you better service. Basically, I would say they can last. Mine I alreadt forget the brand and it has been 10 years. After 15 years you probably want to change new one I recently replace with floor depot because it was on sales. The old one damages due to water pipe leak and flood the floor from kitchen to half the hall. Yes, even my kitchen is laminated floor and not even waterproof one |

QUOTE(watabakiu @ Jun 13 2019, 04:26 PM) Well, it is not really "hacking". When the laminated floor panel is laid on the floor, the floor height increased by 6mm for example. So, the gap between door railing and existing floor will close up.If you have just plain plywood door inside house like this ![]() they just need to remove the thin railing at the bottom. Normally can be done using screw driver and a hammer. Probably 20 min job the most. If you have solid wood door, then need to cut with circular saw, but then the installer will do |

QUOTE(kayciekc @ Dec 4 2019, 04:48 PM) Hi need some opinion from those who have installed laminated flooring before. The installation at my staircase and the whole of upper floor is completed just now. For staircases, I only chose to install it on the treat (where we step on). There is a noticeable gap between the end of the flooring with the staircase's riser. I highlighted this issue to the salesperson. He told me it's because my riser is not 90 degrees enough and their installer did cut the flooring in a straight line. He instead asked me to get people to touch up the riser by applying ASG and paint it over. Is this a normal practice when it comes to laminated flooring on staircase? » Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... « Normally the installer just fill it with silicon glue of same color with the floor. I don't have floor board on stairs but surround the cut for the handrail anchor, they applied wood color glue matching my floor board. |

QUOTE(kayciekc @ Dec 4 2019, 05:37 PM) Thanks for sharing your experience. For my case, every single step has a gap from one end to the other hence it will be too much silicone to apply and may affect the aesthetic look of it You can glue a strip thick enough to cover the gap, but then if the strip is flexible, it can still show noticeable wavery. If the strip if rigid, then the strip itself showing gap You have white stairs (marble?) there, I'd just fill with white silicone and will not be noticeable. Most important is your reference line is straight floor board. The problem is the edge to the wall, not same length. Need to trim to make it even. Probably need to put skirting there. |

QUOTE(StuartLee2015 @ Dec 15 2019, 10:57 PM) Hello, is this thread still active? I guess it should not unless anything too abnormal happened, but this is just normal activity around the house. Even for part exposed to sun and the one didn't (even under furniture) did not show any difference after 10 years in my case. As you know mine is not PVC but the PCV one should be the same.I want to ask something, i just installed the PVC Laminate Flooring, click-lock with padding..... I have a Secretlab chair with PU casters, do they leave marks, scratches, dents, or can make the particular area where my chair move around to be white-ish due to the casters in the long run? ( color fade, loss ) ? Anyone? |

QUOTE(pyy @ Dec 20 2019, 11:49 AM) What is laminated board overlay is made of? I think there are several material including melamine and also PVC composition as well. I believe it depends on the manufacturer specification. Some are even tested for caster wheel like part of standard in the US.I can tell that caster wheel is not a problem. I think melamine or PVC are almost the same in performance. This is what I know. |

I guess for home use not much a problem. My laminated floor has been more than 12 years and no sign or wear under the chair, |

QUOTE(z1lch @ Jan 15 2020, 05:49 PM) Anyone has experience with the SPC flooring from Floor Depot? They’re doing sales about 4.5psf - is this even sales price or just normal price? Also installing over tiles on landed ground floor would it be an issue? Great if you can share you experience 🙏🏻 It should be no problem. Even better since you already have flat floor (ignoring the tile joints. Since it is not thin vinyl, you will not feel the joint lines.I have no experience with SPC but normal laminated floor. That is very good sales price considering normal price is RM14.50 https://www.floordepot2u.com/product/lancewood/ The sales during my time was just for normal one at same price. |
