maituliao 0 Report post Posted April 28, 2011 Hi Guys, I think 5K is not bad for laminate flooring for 2 bedrooms, but maybe you wanna try bamboo flooring , the price is not too far different, I heard 2 bedrooms can cost S$ 3800,-. and it is given 20 years guarantee, which is very rare.Bamboo is much healthier (esp. for with respiratory problems), durable and stronger than laminate flooring. The finishing is also nice, you can see it in The Heeren outer deck. As you can see, the flooring can sustain outdoor regime, so they wouldn't have problem in HDB. We did it as well, and it is safe for our babies.If you are interested, I can give you the contact trough email.CheersConsidering that 2 bedrooms to have floor area of about 30sqm = 323 sqft, 5K sum would translate to S$15.48 per sqft which is super expensive for laminate.As for Bamboo, would you have the product specification and pricing to share?thx Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

This is to allow for more control to the definition of a Green product by adhering to a set of standard and stringent test conditions.Factors affecting the price are usually the following1) Material used (Mao Zhu in original form is of lower density)2) Dimension hence Thickness x Width x Length (Thickness is often the main consideration)3) Density upon processed (as in how much raw materials being packed in to produce the product. better with higher density)4) Joint profile whether is it tongue and groove or click system5) Top coat used (Water based may not be desirable for scratch resistance) Edited April 29, 2011 by maituliao Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Top coat can be oil based or water based.Oil based is just as undesirable resulting to even higher VOC emissions.What is the density kg/m3? Would you have any product sample to show?Thx Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
indira 0 Report post Posted April 29, 2011 You are right, thats why water based is best in health terms.Density: BSB Natural - 993kg/m3, BSB Coffee - 1030kg/m3Style line have product sample of course, you can come to the showroomStyle Line 123 Kitchener Road SingaporeThe pictures of the projects: https://picasaweb.google.com/107558321126877783822/Blk328Yishun?feat=directlink Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
