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. |

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 |

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. |

Hello, is this thread still active?
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?

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 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. |

This is what I know. the product he show is not laminate flooring, is spc flooring. spc wear layer is different from laminate flooring. laminate flooring surface contain aluminium oxide which is very tough. spc surface is jus 0.03 plastic sheet. all the flooring mean to put chair mat. all the us and europe testing method for caster is juz for short period of time not over years. |

That’s expensive for vinyl flooring? I am thinking of installing laminate for bigger floor area, i guess i have to increase my budget. This isn’t an opinion on the price btw. I don’t know market price, but i thought for RM8/sqft you can get laminate already. I guess i was wrong  |

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 🙏🏻

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. |
