Is not bcz the board soak inside the water then it will lose the termite proof chemical, is juz that wood is a food for termite. But before termite attack your board, they will first choose the softer wood which is skirting and ur furniture. Once around that area the softer wood is finished, termite will go for harder wood like ur Laminate floor board. If you want water proof products with wood grain design you have option like vinyl or pvc Flooring, wpc Flooring, wood design tile or solid wood. Personally I dun recommend pvc or plastic Flooring for residential use due plastic and pvc have degradation problem which cause cancer or when during fire and it got burned it will release life hazard gas.

What is the difference between laminate and vinyl? Is vinyl 8mm okay for living hall? Guess 3mm is too thin

Hi all

Need experts' advise. I've been very confused regarding the quality of laminates. One question that I would like to ask is regardless of what brand and what price and other than those plastic made laminates or vinyl, all laminates are made of wood/paper core? And such core will bloat up when it comes into contact with water? I mean I'm not sure how much water. I am just afraid that after a year I mop the floor, the laminates start to bloat. Is that true? I know flooding will definitely spoil it but mopping?

Also, is there any external liquid I can apply onto the laminate such as wax that can provide an additional layer of protection?

I would also like to ask another question regarding lamination before and after installation of built in cabinets. I currently have the laminate flooring installed. New house bought from developer. I'm curious if I can remove the laminate or cut the laminate (where it meets the built in cabinets) and replace it in the future if I already have built ins done? Are the tradesmen expert enough to do so? I'm in dilemma coz if I build in cabinets now and cannot remove flooring later means havoc and expensive. If I remove laminate now and build in cabinet then I have the laminate joint that I don't wanna see. And it's also costly to remove perfectly fine laminates since they are new.

Pls advise. Thanks

One is made by wood one is made by Pvc. Thickest vinyl I seen on market is 5mm only. The click is like 3mm, after sometimes the click will break, all in all it is jz plastic

Laminated floor made wood fiber will not get bloated just by mopping. Just make sure no water dripping from the mop. Squeeze all excess water.

No such waxing is needed. It will always be shining and not fade. The are exposed to light and part hidden under cabinet will not show any tone difference from my experience.

I laminated all the floor before I built the cabinet. My floor to ceiling cabinets are sitting on the laminated floor. That way I do not have to have any king of skirting between floor and the cabinet. Now I have my laminated floor damaged by burst water piping. The only to repair this is to cut the laminated floor right at the bottom edge of the cabinet and lay new laminated floor. At the edge there they can out plastic edging that will provide something like lining along the cabinet bottom edge.

An "ok" quality laminate flooring will warp even mop with a lot of water, under normal circumstance, a mopped floor fry within 30 mins is ok no matter how wet u mop.

Hi Guys, 1 question, normally for laninated flooring, how do you all deal with between the part infront of the toilet? Since the toilet door is prone to be wet. The laminated floor willget spoil easily right?

Will spoil. Just make sure the water from shower will not splash the the floor. Perhaps use the type that is waterproof at door entry.

unless u have kids who juz run out straight from shower, otherwise is ok
