I think it is not properly fit on the floor 

It's a studio, about 400 sq ft. Still contemplating over laminated flooring or tiles.

no laminate can stay clear of termites unless is WPC. Is better u do yearly check up for termites as is not only affect ur floor it will affect your roof, furniture and all thats. and one time check is 50 bux, so is well worth it.

Wpc = wood plastic composite
Half wood half plastic
But is not recommended since it is plastic and plastic have degradation which is bad for health

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

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?

Currently my upper floor doing extension and of course needed to add on the laminate flooring to match back original flooring but contracter told me there will be a bump in order to join. Pls advise. Tq

is it possible to install laminate flooring without transitions like those at doorways? I don't like those raised surface. I like it all flat. Thinking about doing my first floor. Can make stair steps like those timber panels, just on the threads?

To install the skirting need to remove the tile ah?

Can we install the skirting without remove the tile?

So we know that laminated/vinyl can be installed on top of tiles without having to remove them first as long as they are leveled

How about the skirting? Can it be installed on tile's skirting or we have to remove the tiles first?

I don't want to remove the tile's skirting in case i want to revert to tiles back

Hi,

I installed a laminate flooring (inovar) in less than 8 months and now I can see a lot of gaps in between the planks. Is this normal?

The gaps appear on both the long and short side of the planks.

Inovar but the sales person said it is normal since the planks will expand over time. So far the largest gap is almost 1mm but my main concern is too many gaps. I think probably around 30-40 gaps.

Im still under warranty

is it bad?

is it easy to fix these kinda gaps?

will it cause any problem in the future? i contacted them already. waiting for them to come and fix this.

i guess they need to use this tool:

they came and told me that there's nothing they can do except for filling the gaps with silicone. if i insisted not to use the silicone, they will have to dismantle all the skirting and manually push the floor.

so how?

haha...kung fu kicks seems too much of a hard work. i'll try DIY the pusher or find the fixer tool online.

i have contacted the company and they will send their manager to inspect my flooring. hopefully they can arrange better solution.

thanks guys.

Yea I being offered rm5.5 per square ft including installation, cheaper than robinas quotation, would like to know the quality of this flooring

laminate flooring same as vinyl flooring? or 2 different things?

so laminated flooring price should be higher than vinyl?
