Inovar Laminate Flooring Or Evorich Herf
battleangel replied to chiqing's topic in Ceiling, Walls and Flooring Works
A google advert search,list up the product as waterproof laminate floors,albeit it's vinyl/resilient flooring still.Have not heard of a waterproof laminate floor before,it's a little bit misleading for netizens point of view.It must due to the popularity of laminate floors I guess but all in all it's still misleading. -
Waterproof Laminate Flooring?
battleangel replied to ansmania's topic in Ceiling, Walls and Flooring Works
I am thinking,is there any written warranty for waterproof laminate flooring,being waterproof to protect us consumers.It still baffles me how laminate floors can be waterproofed.A warranty will be a sure way to protect netizens investment.At least,it can be claimed if ANTHING goes awry for waterproof laminate floors. -
The norm is to put up wooden decking on top of it, providing a classy look and resort feel to it. Standard being,Chengal,ironwood,heveatech,safari wood,accoya and wood composites. Best alternative for that retro look.
-
The alternatives to timber is composite/plastic premium decking.Nevertherless,they can quite hot when you step barefooted on it as its bound by elements outdoors and once scratches nothing much can be done about it. Replacement is costly. Timber decks are still the best option coz it can sort out those two issues. With technology now being so high, timber decks also now come with assurances for warranties against termites on it. Google search is one of the best option to find more information.

Indeed,timber wood does require maintenance,but wood is more luxurious in outlook.Plastic will always remain that,plastic.It can also be very hot on your feet if it's exposed to sun,resulting in burns to your soles,where it's common knowledge to netizens.Google is a fantastic way to search for the right timber products.The power of technology.

There seems to be a very good variation of quality outdoor deckings circulating in the industry right now,stuff like Accoya,heveatech and Safari African decks based on seo that I run through recently.The plus points being the warranties given by them.They dun seems to have the common issues of cracked lines like chengal which occurs likely due being young trees nowdays.Now that says a lot about the manufacturers confidence level.Don't you think so.

Toxic Gases Emissions In Resilient Floors
battleangel replied to battleangel's topic in Ceiling, Walls and Flooring Works
Tell that to my acquaintance who had resilent floors installed in her 2 bedrooms,regret 100%.The smell of rubber is so over powering that she is feeling faint and do not dare to switch on her air con.Plus its her kids room.Now tell me which parent who do not love their kids.Its as good as putting poison in the house.Albeit,it came by from an innocent looking floor.Simple?I don't think so.- 17 replies

Inovar Laminate Flooring Or Evorich Herf
battleangel replied to chiqing's topic in Ceiling, Walls and Flooring Works
Inovar is also now selling resilient flooring,providing clientele an alternative between laminates or resilient/vinyl flooring as well.Is their resilient eco friendly as heir laminates? -
Came across a resilient floor in google,called LURF.What is the difference between LURF & HERF?Both sounds about the same,confusing.

Sensa laminate floors?My gauge is you should place your faith in your designer.I doubt he will be so foolish to intro a not quality Germany laminate floor and invite trouble for himself and being not able to collect payment.Regardless of what netizens says,you are not buying history but a floor afterall.As long the floor is backed with the typical standard maufacturers warranties for a floor,there should not be anything that you have to worry about.

Dirty Grout Lines On New Tiles!
battleangel replied to happysnowball's topic in Ceiling, Walls and Flooring Works
Tiles have their own advantages and disadvantages,depend how you look at it. -
Well said,'everybody have different needs and priorities'.Wood is naturally for wood lovers and for those who can't afford timber floors,laminate floors are the most economical and practical.On the contrary,there are numerous ppl who look at things differently.Tearing and re-renovating their laminate floors is a norm coz looking at the same old floor every decade is so boring.Concepts change every now and then and to have the same old look is too unimaginable for some ppl.its like akin to not painting your walls for the next 2-3 decades.Tiles?It's an omni present since donkey years which everybody knows about.There's a whole stretch of it along Balestier road.Everybody in Spore noes how tiles works,but it's not without it's disadvantages.It's too cold for ppl with rheumatism,slippery and a danger for children and old people.Ever been to hospital,to look at the fall risk case rates especially old ppl.Unsightly groutings?These are all norms which every netizens knows in Spore.But like what's been said,it serves different needs and priorities.The same goes for laminated floors.

The statistics from www.eplf.com indicate a total sales volume of 460 million sq metres for 2012 world wide just solely for the 21 laminate floor European players in the world,not taking into account the laminate floors produced in China/N.America/Asean yet.That says a lot for the demand for laminate floors.Why?Simple reason,they came form sustainable forests.With wood in short supply and the world ozone layer getting thinner by the day,hollow is the last thing that cross netizens minds.That's the reasoning for the Saving Gaia initivative and Green Label initiatives by the local government.Hollow?we can live with it as long as the earth stays revolving.

Agreed and disagreed regarding timber floors,whilst netizens allude the warmth and natural feel,timber is expensive.Laminated floors are the cheapest floors in town,good for overlaying,effectively saving cost.For the price of timber installation and resanding plus looking at the same floors for the next 2-3 decades,you could probably change laminated floor colors every 5-7 years at the cost of a timber floor.Laminated floors are for the masses,timber is for the rich,unfortunately.

People in the industry are mentioning that the company normally employ a lot of newbies with minimum experience or knowledge at all in the industry practice.As a result of their lack of knowledge,hiccups always occur every now and then.Homes are not any experiment.This came about from the very people who have worked there before and left.It's all a matter of luck for us clients.Meet the right one one,thank god.The wrong one,good heavens.A mini version of a jackpot.

Waterproof Laminate Flooring?
battleangel replied to ansmania's topic in Ceiling, Walls and Flooring Works
It is common knowledge that no wood is waterproof either in laminate/engineered or timber version.Unfortunately,resilient/vinyl floorings companies are doing a wonderful job of making the netizens confused by leveraging their products to the word 'Laminate Floors'.While not doubting their water withstanding abilities,it has also its doubters in the world,with human hazard,carcinogen chemical emissions being it.Danish/Swedish governments banned it due to deformities in children which is puzzling them.Netizens need to be more mindful of the health hazards it can pose.Health is wealth,make the right decision for yourself and families.Netizens can do a search on google or any seo to find out the truth, -
There is only a handful of quality and well known laminate floorings out there sold in the market,100% authentic from Germany,Kronotex,Krono O,Sensa from my google search recently.Getting the right product is essential.Don't fall into cheap imitations made in china laminate foors proposed by some designers.A floor is something that we have to live with for the next decade or two/three probably.Don't lve to regret it.

That's a crappy excuse,care to share the flooring brand.European floors don't have those issues. -
Toxic Gases Emissions In Resilient Floors
battleangel replied to battleangel's topic in Ceiling, Walls and Flooring Works
Ionwood,sounds good.The top company marketing it out being Supreme Floors,i have heard but the pricing going around is a big shocker,$20 psf.Not for th common people I guess,more for the noveau rich.You don't have to be a rocket scientist to know about the dangers of polyvinyl chloride,the component for pvc/vinyl/resilient floors whatever they want to call it.Just google/yahoo/bing it's all over the place.Information on hand at the click of the mouse are all aplenty.- 17 replies

Toxic Gases Emissions In Resilient Floors
battleangel replied to battleangel's topic in Ceiling, Walls and Flooring Works
Did a research on google and discovered all of the resilient floorings available from the market are all from China/Korean.None is from Germany/Europe as falsely claimed by some flooring vendors.Probably,as consumers we felt aggrieved when be told otherwise.A bit misleading,sadly.- 17 replies
