Re: any one knows good laminated flooring brand????

it feels like a real home when you are walking into something that is made of wood..versus concrete, ceramic tiles, marble or granite.

plus the fact that it can mute the sound if your SWMBO is wearing hi heels.

hehe

There are stores along Soler St. in Binondo that sell HDF laminates. Generally they are cheaper than the big stores. Yes, it can be DIYed, but you have to be sure that your sub-floor is flat enough. Instructional videos should be easy to find in the web.

what is SWMBO?

you are correct about "wood" flooring. wood feels so homey. tiles, marble, etc. look and feel cold. i think i won't be using laminates in the kitchen anymore. i am worried about the water spill. when we defrost our ref, sometimes water overflows. sometimes we discover the spill the following morning na. so i'm worried about the laminates being soaked in water for several hours. some laminates claim to be waterproof. are they really? should i take the risk? what do you think?

Re: any one knows good laminated flooring brand????

He-he. Learned that acronym here, too. SWMBO is an old African Word for an ethereal being who rules over your basest desires yet provides you true happiness. Seriously now, SWMBO stands for "She Who Must Be Obeyed".

In other words...

...I'm sure you're smart enough to figure it out

Re: any one knows good laminated flooring brand????

@ding,

you are correct in saying that the acronym swmbo is an old african word...

id just like to add that it was found in Africa somewhere in Erythrea some years back. It was carved out inside walls and carbon dating suggests that it could be as old as your Nokia 3200...hehe

@anski,

i simply dont believe that some laminate flooring are waterproof! well that's me.

a hi density fiberboard sub base of these laminate floors is still very much sensitive to water...and unless the planks are seamless then they could stake their claim that its waterproof.

Re: any one knows good laminated flooring brand????

In addition to the brands already mentioned ... Robina. IIRC, the dealer (of both Pergo and Robina) claimed that Robina was being manufactured in the same factory in Malaysia as Pergo. Don't know if that is true or if the insinuation of same quality is valid. Wound up getting Pergo from him and Robina from Handyman ... so we have a comparison.

The Pergo didn't stand a chance against leaking A/C drainage pipes embedded in the wall. A/C contractor had to pay for replacement of the laminate flooring.

The Robina didn't stand a chance against leaking roof. The roof contractor had to pay for replacement of the laminate flooring.

I saw ad for at least one brand of 100% waterproof laminate flooring now available locally ... Dumafloor. Quite pricey at ~P3K/sq.m. Core material is not wood but vague about what it really is ... info says 'plastic resins'. Is that a euphemism for PVC to sound more impressive and avoid being linked to the the environmental issues of PVC?

We have our own line of engineered flooring we featured in the recently concluded WORLDBEX 2012. We claim a 24-hour soak test on our product before you buy so you can assess if it can really withstand unexpected water exposure like a busted water pipe or a leaking roof, etc.:flowerysmile:

 

Re: any one knows good laminated flooring brand????

perhaps this thread is already concluded.

the bottom line is...everything with quality is expensive...good equals expensive..there are many good brands but not one is the best.

if you think laminate flooring is expensive or engineered flooring..you can always go back to the grassroots.

and yes...plan everything within your budget.
