Is this thread still active? I still having ' moisture build up ' and condensed into water and coming out of the seams between floor and side cover ( not sure what's called )....

Theres a bedroom behind the wall. I guess is humidity from the subfloor?

What about the seams between the flooring plank and side cover? Mine seems to ooze water...
> is yours tile/marble?

There's a foam sheet ( white ) when i laid mine last November.... SPC on top, foam underneath only... no plastic sheet or anything....

Only rooms has this kind of problem.... Outside where Living room and dining hall is dry. no sign of water condensation...
If i slit a paper between the seams, the paper is wet....  , I got a video recorded... to show to the Installer when he comes after MCO.

Could this be humidity that comes from subfloor ?
> My furniture ( 3 tier shelf ) most bottom part where it's kissing floor shown signs of water damage , not because of mop ( super careful when moping on not touching it ), that was before laying SPC flooring... when it was still marble floor, and that particular area always feel kind of cold to touch. 

Now i drill some holes on the side cover to let it breath, hahaha.... I tried to seal it with silicone, but then the water ooze out from the plank ( near the side cover where the foam didn't cover that plank's edge near to the wall ) , is my guess...

Hi guys,

The solid timber flooring for my near 10yo house is peeling here and there. It use to be those smooth matte finish.

Is it possible to renew it back to like-new condition? What are the better options?

Thanks

safe to use ? why alot articles out there suggest not to use steam mop, because of the moisture may destroy the wood

I was at an expensive hotel some years ago and I love the feel of the wood floors. But I am sure it is very costly. So downscale laminated.

I have looked at a few brands. How much should I pay for 12 mm, E1, ac4 Robina which includes skirting, workmanship?

Is it worthwhile to pay extra for engineered wood? But still won't get solid wood.

Thank you for the video. That helps a lot. But do we have 'luxury vinyl plank' in Malaysia?

I think I'll stick to laminate. In my old place, I installed ceramic tiles thinking I could buy the place, but can't afford it. I could kick myself, should have installed laminate.
