I got quoted for RM9/sqft (installation inclusive) from Robina for lamination flooring (EL11) which includes stairs and skirting. Is it reasonable?
The product comes with AC4 which is one level lower than than the AC5. I was wondering if its durable enough for regular traffic with 3-4 people in the house.
laminate flooring same as vinyl flooring? or 2 different things?
Laminated flooring normally refers to the flooring that is HDF board, clicked together to form wooden flooring lookalike.
Vinyl is like the name said is flooring made of vinyl material. Normally in office but it is also used for housing where it looks like the laminated floor above and normally advertised as waterproof flooring.
You don't get the wood feeling like the laminated floor.

so laminated flooring price should be higher than vinyl?

In general, yes. Vinyl you just glue to the floor. Laminated floor, they put plastic sheet, then foam to muffle sound and then laminated floor board. Laminated flooring is also called floating floor because it can be removed easily and relocate but usually people don't
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.
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 If the Bomba can give green light but the management say cannot, then cannot also, right? Unless not stated in agreement. However, if you can get black and white from Bomba, no one can argue

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.
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
